OPERATION TAKE-DOWN!!

No one should have to go through what my children and I have been through this year.  Unfortunately our story is not original because families are torn apart at the seams every day at the hands of CPS.  There are those families that do require intervention to help children who would otherwise be trapped in an abusive situation.  However, there are often news stories that report kids being beaten to death, drowned, raped, murdered, or having to live in households where their most basic needs are neglected.  Other stories act as an outlet for parents to share their horror stories of how CPS tore their families apart without any cause or evidence.  How is it that CPS does not seek out real abuse, but rather focuses their efforts on anyone that has a finger pointed at them?  The finger pointing becomes a “witch hunt” and an agency that was originally put into place to protect children becomes a force so powerful they can take down a loving family without proof of any wrong doing.  CPS at the very least needs to be held accountable for their actions by either having an organization put into place that requires them to prove an allegation is true before ripping children from the arms of their parents.  There are so many horror stories from families that have had to deal with CPS that they are often overlooked and deemed far-fetched or only half-truths.  My story may seem this way too, but I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt, it is true!  Trying to explain this to anyone that has never suffered at the hands of CPS is exhausting.  Nothing I can say would come close to painting the picture needed for people to understand unless they have had a similar experience.  I am going to try to paint that picture by writing a book about my experience and hopefully light the match that starts the fire to bring CPS down for good.  The only way to fix this problem is to bring CPS down completely and start over.
