Here's the last one.

The submission link is in the side bar.

My story actually starts 15 yrs ago with my first accounter with cps.It is a long story so I hope you have time to read this. I was dealing with problems with post partum depression and wasn't able to care for my children in the way that I'v should have. Now for my first case I feel like it was justified for cps to step in. I didn't understand what was happing to me I just knew my kids was suffering so I asked my mother if she would take over but she misunderstood what I was asking her to do and she wouldn't take the kids I felt so hopeless and I didn't know what else to do. My depression got so bad that I lost 20lbs. My mom had to rush me to the hospital because I wasn't responsive.The hospital put I.V's into me and brought me back to health. They told her if I stayed like that for couple more days it was possible I would have died. Shortly after that I had taken my 5 month old son to my w.i.c appointment for a check up and they discovered a mark on his forarm and they decided it was from malnutrion so they had to call cps required by law if they felt abuse or neclect was a possiblity.

I had to take my son to the hospital and they admitted him and I met my first case worker at the hospital she told me she was gonna have this program come into my home and work with me and my family. So I agreed to do so. A week later I get a letter stating that my kids was gonna be placed in foster care and I had to go for a hearing and thats when my nightmare began.They ordered me to go for a neurological tseting at the local hospital and I did do so and found I was suffering from cronic depression and I was put on anti-depressants and ordered to seek counceling which I did that also. And I also found employment and found a new place to live but unfortunatly I lost my employment a year later and had difficulty finding new employment and was not able to pay my rent and lost my housing. But was able to find new employment and I got new housing. My cps worker told me that I was this close to getting your kids returned and I was so angry for her comment.I would jump through every opstical corse they put me through and I fought for 2 years for my children and my kids was returned to me after 2 years of them bein in care. But every year after I got a visit from cps workers 3 times a year for 10 years for minor things like how clean or dirty my house was.But after I had my 3rd child I was getting alot more visits from cps to the point when I would see a cps case worker that I worked with in the past in public she showed up 2 days later knocking at my door claiming they had recieved a complaint about my house being dirty.At first I thought it was just an oquencodences(sorry for spelling)until a few months later I had ran into the same case worker and she stopped me and spoke to me asking me how things was going and I told her things was fine.The very next day she was knocking at my door claiming another complaint against me once again. Again about my house I couldn't believe this was happening and I told other people about it and they all said I was just being paranoid.I told them I was not being paranoid. Even my mother thought I was being paranoid until one day we had gone to Wal-mart and I had ran into a familiar cps worker and she had spoke to me. I leaned over to my mom and whispered "oh, no! I better go home and clean my house" and we both laughed well the next morning I was getting my 3 yr old daughter ready to go to school. My mom was there to take me out for a doctor appointment and there was a knock at the door I open it up and would you beleive it, it was the very worker we saw at Wal-mart. My mom has never doughted me ever since.well, now I am still dealing with cps now.I have been fighting for my kids once again for the last 2 years.a real bad situation happened to our family which put my kids in harms way so cps felt it would be the right thing to do to put my kids in care for there safety since the person that put us in harms way was still at large and i had no safe place for me and my kids to go to.The cps worker convinced me to volenteerly place them in care for their protection. At the the court hearing to legally place them in care the cps worker claimed I still had an open case and i failed to coroporate with them so the made a new petition against me once again and I have been fight them for the last 2 years and I had 2 more children during this time and cps placed both babies in care soon after birth even though i was trying to breast feed.I have been doing everything that has been asked of me and more.My cps worker has filed a new petition against me once again which I'm not gonna comment on yet since I haven't gone to court yet for it.I am hoping to be over this and have my children back and try to live my life normally. The cps worker is deadset on terminating my rights for things that has never happened she has only met with me for 10 or 15 minutes tops with me so she has no idea of what kind of person I am so why is she judging me.I know if she took the time to get to know me she would see I am not this person she is trying to paintout for the courts.
