Family police , get a lawyer if anyone from CPS contacts you, anything you say or do will be used against you , , you are entitled to representation before you speak with CPS , please exercise your rights !!! You are allowed to Ask them to come back with a search warrant , If you refute entry they will most likely commit perjury to get access to your children , in the mean time lawyer up ! Namaste...

For 11 years ago when I graduated DHS I never got my diploma my old lawyer got one and the old judge that used to be in family Court the second time I went back there got one I've been trying to find out where's mines they never send it to my old address now when I need it because that never turns up to be I graduated DHS parenting classes and makes me look like I'm a father they had DHS charges against him when I didn't where's my papers it's not showing up in court that I went to the class second judge gave me what I wanted their judges was going to give me what I wanted and told her it was a little white lie I physically verbally abused my daughter but there was no charges against me because I told her to go take a bath if that's physically verbally abusing her what is the real thing when you go to family Court I wish someone could help me from family court if they read this and DHS you know I don't have nothing against me and I graduated the class where is my piece of paper that I graduated

I’m happy I wasn’t on investigation for child abuse it was the opposite party but dealing with Mrs.English was a terrible experience.She was miss informed had the wrong paper work , giving legal advice without a degree,very bias, lazy and overall unprofessional.I’m pretty sure something’s she did handling the case was illegal. Honestly hope she was fired. Not to mention all her personal life was displayed for her clients. I feel bad for the children depending on her, and I couldn’t believe she had children of her own.

I had a good experience but then again I was just picking up some paperwork. God knows what horrific things occur in there.

If you love and take care of your children why do DHS monsterize you in court? Why do they try so hard to keep your children away why do they break up families why do they pick on black people why do they pick on single parents and low income? Why?

I have custody of my 6 year old grandson his mother left to be another boy she is pregnant and homeless how can I get kinship for my grandson & how can you assist in helping my daughter with this unborn child living on the streets panhandling

She needs to gtow up. If she is on the street and unreachable, call the police . Being pregnant now may save her and the baby. Have her arrested for neglect of children. With a psychologist, she seems to need to do the difference with love and being loved by a man. Her and maybe yours in raising by yourself. Not your fault. She doesn't know . How to love herself with respect.

What do I do when all my mom dose mentally abuses me and my Lil sisters they tell me they don't feel safe they don't feel loved and scared we need help can anyone help pls

I wish I could help but my own child didn't appreciate me. I've been where you are so I understand, but because of DHS actually I couldn't reach my own. Now I've lost her. Wish I had a little girl who wants to be loved and supported, but most of all is willing to learn and listen. Hope your sisters are okay wherever you are.

I know of someone who puts ( from what it looks like ) little efforts into the care of her kids. I want if possible for someone to check on the place where they stay as well as their sleeping conditions. How would I go about this ?

I noticed one of my kids have a black eye and busted lips and she has costudy. Can I get emergency costudy for my kids? I believe they are in danger. Their mom dont want me to go check on them she doesnt even tell me where she lives with my kids😪

Elizabeth Godfrey | Jul 3, 2022

LOL what a joke dude. Im guessing there is a reason you dont know where they live. Is this the one sober moment you have had? Do everyone especially you kids a favor and leave them ALONE! LOSER!

Can a mother get SSI Benefits and grandmother get foster care benefits for the same child who is only under grandmother care the mother is doing nothing

edward hamilton | Oct 2, 2018
Latoya Young | Oct 2, 2018

No, she can get into big trouble for that because with SSI the child must be living in the home where the money go. That is fraud!!

Who can I call or talk to about my two oldest son that been adopt

Belinda Wiliams | May 4, 2022

You have to contact the law department. Call DHS and get your case number and ask for the law department info. Then call them to discuss. It's a long process but so worth it. Good Luck.

What does ODD stands for when a parent is charged with this?

Nicole Muhammad | Oct 1, 2021
casey alston | Oct 1, 2021

ODD stands for Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It is a mental health condition Where the kids to have behavior problems. No fault of the parents.It may also be combined With ADHD.

After doing all you can to help a child that I adopted and love but now my patience really gone after six years and last thing I really don’t want to do is to put my child back in the system so my question How does this process goes ?

Fren | Oct 1, 2020
casey alston | Oct 1, 2021

The child is legally yours,If you return the childTo DHS they will put on the record that you abandoned the child. Seek mental health services of necessary.

My Son lives with his mother, and I no longer have visitation. Every month I'm getting a bill from the hospital. Can I get DHS to do a Welfare check ?, and report back to me ?

Joseph Waters | Oct 2, 2018
Starr Nelson | Oct 2, 2018

Nope

If you working at a daycare center and they ask you to wipe wall down do i have to

Baila Davis | Oct 2, 2017
Adrienne Nicole | Oct 2, 2017

Yes. For sanitary reasons. Any food or bodily fluids left on the wall can cause bacteria and obviously a health hazard.

If you have someone living in your home on probation for murder and you have Dhs children in your custody is that allowed.

Deaconess Austins mkkkbvvxvejekwkwkwjwwj no klo | Oct 2, 2017
kim langley | Oct 2, 2019

Absolutely not the child will and must be removed and you should not have been approved to have children from DHS in your home knowing they have that kind of background
