My Husband & I moved to Colorado from Washington state in 2002 with our oldest son in tow. We didn't have enough money for a hotel so we checked into the family shelter in Colorado Springs, CO. We checked in on a Friday night & by Monday morning CPS had a court order for removal of our son. They gave me an attorney who was a guardian ad litem, CPS attorney & family attorney all in one. Talk about a conflict of interests. They ordered my husband & I in for drug testing, psychological evaluations, & parenting classes. We fought hard & got our son back from the clutches of CPS. While he was in foster care for 2 1/2 months he was in three foster homes. Our son was only 5 months old. WORD TO THE WISE: JURY TRIAL!!! The only reason we got our son back from corrupt CPS was because we demanded a jury trial, where our alleged accusers would have to come forward & testify. That was too much for CPS to handle. Our son who is now 8 years old still talks about the abuses he suffered in foster care, they are still burned into his memory. Now our son fears removal from our home every day, & is afraid to be watched by our friends without us there. Note: Every library in any state had the procedural manuals for CPS/DHS/DCFS in regards to dependency/neglect & child abuse, as well as the federal books for dependency/neglect & child abuse which override state books. Use these tools to your advantage for fighting CPS, also demand to go jury trial, your right under the constitution.
