iam all about protecting children, but what happens when cps invades our privacy? a cps worker came to my home when i turned my handicapped teacher in to the sheriff dept. for physically hurting my daughter. a fight i had been having with the school for a year or better. no one cared that she was hurting my daughter. evan kartigan of cps told me there was nothing he could do about that however he wanted me to sign family maintenance so no one will call on me anymore. i asked him, if anything was as the caller said and he said no. he bugged me so much my boyfriend thought we were having an affair, because hed call me at night.i told him to close my case. and 9 months later when i was really sick he was back he brought a cop with him and they forced me to pee for them at my home, i never refused to test only testing in a professional place and they wouldnt allow it and two weeks later another cop came with evan and kicked in my back door and beat me up and took my babies. im still trying to protect them. and he was fired from my case. so how can we protect our selves from abuse from the system?

CPS/DCYF throughout the country DO NOT protect children and they are accountable to no-one. They even have more power than the Judges. In N.N. the Governor and the Attorney Generals office claim they have no jurisdiction over DCYF. Then who does? A DCYF worker stated to my face that they can do whatever they want because our government gave them the power to do so. Abolishment is the only way to stop this out of control, rogue government agency.

My suggestion is to fire the whole department and then you would have help for the sheriff's department because the CPS Department are not doing their jobs anyway.

Plain and simple the C.P.S. in and around our county doesnt do the job right kids continue to be killed by abusive family members and people that love and care for the kids are the ones that are being targeted...Ive known of familys affected by their incompotence....Do these workers not need a degree inorder to get these jobs?

The utter incompetence and malfeasance of CPS is why American Family Rights Association exists. We have been railing against the Method of Operation of CPS since 1999. When CPS evil-doing makes it into the media spotlight, the public yawns, a few express disbelief, the agency stonewalls and denies, our elected officials posture, and soon it becomes water under the bridge and forgotten about. We cannot find ANY authority for CPS to operate, let alone as "law enforcement". These people take no oath, and certainly do not uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. We do however, find plenty of laws already on the books that CPS is doing a dance and pirouette over. The truth is, CPS people commit Federal Capital Crimes every day and in every case. "Best interests operates as an empty vessel into which adult perceptions and prejudices are poured." --Hillary Rodham, Children Under the Law, 43 Harv. Ed. Rev. 487, 513 (1973). “There is no crueler tyranny than that which is exercised under color or law, and with the colors of justice.” U.S. v. Janotti, 673 F. 2d 578, 614 (3d Cir.1982) CPS is described in the Declaration of Independence-- "He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance." CPS has no business existing in the United States of America. It is really bad out here at the grassroots for families. When are people going to get "Mad as H3LL and We're Not Gonna Take it Anymore"? Especially now that the government is BROKE. How can continuing this insane bureaucracy be justified? It's certainly NOT "for the children".

Whether CPS saves a child or not they still get paid and that is all that matters, I have a co-worker whose wife quit working at CPS because of all the garbage that goes on in the office. I truly believe CPS does not care about what their jobs really means.

More children are hurt by CPS than are helped. Sure they may save 10 children while destroying the lives of 200 other ones. Foster care is NOT a safe place for children. I have 9 adopted children and the things that happened to them while in CPS care were far worse than what happened in the bio homes.

Yeah right cps wastes time on some kids that don't really need protecting and is just tramatizing, some kids, they are after people with alot of kids. In my area there were six kids removed from a very loving home. CPS brought back cases from 2003, come on we did some stupid stuff when we were young. There home was always clean the kids were always clean and they had plenty of food and to this day there are NO charges of any kind of abuse. The kids all want to go home. The one mistake that the parents do admitt is using some drugs but never in front of the kids or while the kids wee home so oviously they weren't addicted. Every time I turned around they were taking these kids to the zoo, beach or what event was going on at the time the mother was even room mom for three of her kids and I'm sure when the other three started school she'd be there too. If you ever had a channce to see these parents with their kids you'd know how loveed and well taken care of they were. So it's cases like these that CPS just wastes their time on and our money. What they need to do is get together with police stations and see were they've done raids and remove those children and read the police blotters and investigate those people and stop going on what some vendictive people say....
