My sister started dating a man a couple yrs ago and after one year they got married...She was unaware of his past with the CPS or his mental unstability...After a while she realized there was something not right about this man and wanted to leave..(by this point she found out she was pregnant with his child) ...After we talked she decided to have him leave and she was going to move back up here so that i could help her with her 8yr old Kayla (from a prevous marriage) and the new baby that was on the way..After She told him to move out he went to the police station and made accusations against my niece..that she hung cats, drawned a dog...poked him with needles and hit him. CPS was notified and showed up at my sisters...she notified them that he was mentally unstable and she asked him to move out and that she was moving up north to be with her family. The caseworker said that was fine she could move up north just to let her know the address and phone number...I talked yo the case worker and gave her both my phone number and address and our dads...She was up her with me for 5mths and keep in contact with the new caseworker up here...the only thing he asked for was to have Kayla evaluated by a doctor..which my sister did right away...After 4 visits the doctor said that he didnt need to see her anymore...that was in september...At the end of December we had not heard from the CPS since septerber after doctor eval...my sister decided to return to Texas for the birth of her child so that the father could be present at the birth and then return to Indiana...Since my sister had a mth before baby was due when she returned to Texas and enrolled her 8yr old Kayla in school...On the first day of school CPS stole Kayla and is now trying to terminate my sisters rights on grounds that Kayla would be a danger to the baby. (the baby that is not even born yet!) I went down there and hired a lawyer for her and stayed for the first hearing...the judge did not want the eval from the Indiana doctor and ordered a new eval and my sister sister to have an eval also...After the first week in foster care my sister was able to talk to my niece on the phone...the foster care giver said she could talk to Kayla nightly...Kayla has not been eating, crys everyday for her mom and would not sleep...she is now starting to stutter when spoken to...The foster care giver got mad at my sister and said she could only talk to my niece twice a week because the foster care giver wanted Kayla to call her mom out of respect and Kayla didnt want to and found it confusing why she had to call this lady mom and not by her name and my sister tryed to speak to her about it. How could this be in the best interest of the child when it is causing her so much emotional damage? No one wants to go up against the CPS and even our lawyer just stood there and shoke, like a nervous wreck, and just keep repeating that she had the eval. done in Indiana...What can she do? Who can she contact? This is a loving child that was put in the system by lies and twisted truths...The caseworker even stated that she could take the unborn child when he was born if she wanted to...How can they have so much power that they can destroy families and threaten people with the loss of there children?

these people call my family constantly. I have lost my job and really try to pay payments as soon as i can, but never more than a month late. I will be sitting i my front room with my sister and aunt and there phones will ring, it is cps, I will not get a call. I think this is unfair and harassing. I have asked them to stop harassing my family but they just say these people are your contacts and we need to get through to you. I just want it to stop not only is it embarassing but my family wants it to stop. What can I do?

To NLNK,

In times such as these, compassion should be the order of the day. The people that are posting are not belly aching, they are simply explaining their frustration with a company that does not treat them humanely. That is the shame of it. I have lived long enough to know that anything, and I do mean anything can happen to anybody, at anytime. A sudden illness, unexpected job loss, loosing a home, an accident, anything, that can lay you bare, and open to people whose motives are not pure. Yes I suppose paying your bills should be a priority, but to condone the illegal and immoral methods that some companies use in order to get their hands on other people's money should give one pause for concern. Are people less important than material things? Humans have souls, objects do not. Why do we cherish material goods much more than the human soul? If you are willing to inflict pain whether it be emotional, psychological, or spiritual on someone in order to enhance your profit margin, that in and of itself is tragic. When you help others, when you show compassion for others, when you are willing to lend a helping hand up, instead of pushing people down, that is what will count in the long run. When we reach the end of our lives...we do not ask ourselves how much money we've made, or marvel at the number of cars or homes we own, nor even how much we have in the bank. We ask ourselves, how did we treat others...personally and professionally. Ironically, when people are in the process of leaving this world, they want to be assured that they did not live their lives in vain. They aren't concerned about bill payments, nor their rolex watches etc..., how did they treat others in the short time that they were here? That is what counts, and all the "work" that these collection agencies and other money hungry vultures in other ventures are doing means absolutely "nothing." Money cannot buy back a wasted life that was spent chasing monetary or material wealth. "For what good does it do a man to gain the whole world, as the Bible says, only to loose his own soul?"

A tenent that I was evecting made up some outlandish allogations and called CPS
I took my kids to the DR and 2 therapist as they all confirmed that there was no abuse. CPS is angry because they said I messed up their investigation becasue my young children would not admit to being abused. The investigor lied in court and said we had not showed up for our interveiw. That was at 10:AM she did not tell him it had been reschelduled for 1:00 that day. The judge ordered the removal of our kids with out an invsetigation. They had them for 17 days. CPS called and wanted to quit if we would sign stating we would take family based services. We agreed so we could get out kids home fast. We talked about one month. Now they are saying one year because they need time to investigate. That is not what we agreed to. They keep bringing up that I had a theft 23 years ago. I was a kid. Since then I had became a foster parent and adopted my children. Even though it is obvious this was a vendictive call they are determined to make a case out of this and sue us for an example. We have spent so much money we can not afford to continue to pay legal fees where can we get help?
