Parents sue DCFS over removal of toddler from family

Parents sue DCFS over removal of toddler from family

A toddler's parents are suing state child-welfare investigators and police officers who took their daughter and then forced them to have only monitored contact with her for days during a child-abuse investigation, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

The 21-page suit seeking at least $50,000 in compensation was filed Wednesday by lawyers for the Family Defense Center, a not-for-profit organization based in Chicago that represents parents against the child welfare system.

    This is disgusting. Good for the parents. It's been going on for years. When will CPS people realize that they're not above the law?
