CPS corruption hurts and destroys families worldwide. Please use caution posting about CPS here or anyplace on the internet. For your protection, using your full, real name and precise location is not advised. CPS has eyes everywhere and CPS is notorious for taking what people say, twisting it, embellishing on it and then using it against them in CPS "investigations" and at court proceedings.

Grandmother fights for relative rights for children
Posted: Tuesday, September 6, 2011 4:00 am

A grandmother’s love is what kept her four grandchildren out of foster care.
For Cleveland’s Linda Boles, it has been a fight to gain grandparental rights and any monetary support for all four children, a fight she is planning to take to Washington, D.C. to rally for more rights as well as the opportunity to gain custody and support as a caregiver for her grandchildren.
“My daughter was with four different drug dealers, so Child Protective Services was called numerous times. It took 29 voluntary placements for them to give me the paperwork to keep the kids at my house and keep them safe,” Boles said.
Boles was working in real estate at the time when she would receive the calls from CPS where she would keep them for several days then they would go back to the mom’s house.
After the numerous calls and the evidence, Boles now has all four grandchildren and started the group Kids Left Behind which fights for grandparental rights in Texas.
“There are a lot of grandparents in Texas who do not know we have no rights. In 2008, I spoke in Washington, D.C. on the fact there is no funding from the state for grandparents to care for their grandchildren. They are not told from the beginning what they can have and what they cannot,” Boles said.
With the Kids Left Behind group, Boles has worked with other grandparents who are going through the same thing she has.
Boles asks the questions, how many calls does it take for a true CPS investigation? and why is adoption not available to grandparents and relatives but it is to foster parents?
A few of her cases, the children are placed into a foster home and then they are picked up by the grandparents who must go through the same background checks and house checks as a foster parent would have to but they do not have the same paperwork or the same rights.
“We go through the same things foster homes do but we get nothing. Why is there not some kinship added when they develop these committees? Our voice is not heard. Grandparents are raising 3 percent of the children in this state, yet we do not have a voice,” Boles said.
Every couple of months, the grandparents have to file for custody of the children again and must take off work whenever CPS calls for a home check or visit.
In Boles’ case, she is not receiving any child support from the parents of the children so she must support them as much as she can, but they currently live on 53 cents a day.
For foster families, they are reimbursed for most of their expenses while the grandparents and other relative caregivers are not.
“Voluntary placement needs to be done away with. The parents cannot just show up when they want to. Relative caregivers need rights to take care of the children. We deal with doctor appointments, school and transportation every day so we need help,” Boles said.
There are several others across the country who are rallying behind Boles and hoping to raise funds to help her have a place to stay while in Washington, D.C. so she can share her story and rally for relative caregiver rights.
They have already received some monetary support but they are hoping for more support and donations to help the trip be successful for Boles.
“I cannot understand why Texas does not want to help with all of these children. If they are put in a relative caregiver’s home, they have a better chance at succeeding than in a foster home,” Boles said. “I have lost everything, but that is the love I have for these grandchildren; I would never give that up.”
To support her family, Boles hunts, fishes and gardens to ensure there is always food on the table.
She and the children have also had the opportunity to go Echo Hill Ranch which is owned by the son of Kinky Friedman, Dr. S.T. Friedman, where they learned how to fold the flag properly and play with other kids.
“It is wrong for the children when we do not get to participate in things because we cannot afford it. Every child should be treated the same,” Boles said.
The rally Boles plans to attend is the GrandRally in Washington, D.C. Sept. 15 where she will have the chance to meet other relative caregivers and have her voice heard.
“It is time for our voice to be heard,” Boles added.

Utah CPS database has false allegations & foster histories - Central Registry
From our experience and what others have told us, all states have a Central Registry and all kinds of reports are kept there. Even some that are 30 - 40 years old or more.
Note from video creator:
Utah's Department of Social Services has a database all allegations of child abuse and neglect are kept in. It's called SAFE and it is a form of SACWIS. Although this spokesperson claims the money is not in to link into the other states as of yet, she does admit they keep record of anonymous allegations that the accused may not even hear about, ever. Also, to boot, an individual's foster care record is kept in this system.
Why else could they possibly keep someone's foster care record in the system used to pull information from to take custody of an individual's children? Some would ask the same of unfounded accusations.

Rather Unpleasant Evening On Facebook
Well, we learned tonight just how unpleasant things can get on Facebook. It likely is not over either with one person posting on others' walls that we are hooked into a pedophile ring (we are not) and that we are sending threatening messages through Facebook's message system (we did not) simply because we will not reveal our names.
One individual got so obnoxious that we had to report some of their posts and also block them.
No wonder CPS keeps getting away with stealing children. Those that are suffering through this ordeal can not even band together and get along amongst themselves, let alone fight the CPS monster.
Even after we stated that we are afraid for our children and that CPS has let it be known that we are not to speak about the situation, that was not good enough reason not to share our names, for at least one person. Evidently, they either have nothing left to lose or they are not living where the state threatens families (thought they did that everywhere.)
We will not tolerate defamation and slander, that is for sure and for anyone to think that what happened was okay, they have to think about how they would think or feel had the exact same thing happened to them. It was ridiculously horrible, at the minimum.
One thing is for certain, if this person (and any cohorts) want to continue with defaming us, we will do what we can to stop it, including court action.
No one deserves the kind of treatment we went through this evening - no one!

Update: Dumped Facebook like the rotten apple that it is. It's hard to believe the messages we found there written by a vicious person and their friend. What is worse, we could find nowhere to report the behavior since we already blocked them. What a cesspool that place is. We found some nice people but this select batch of nasty people made the whole thing disgusting to contend with. Some people just think that hurting other people is a lot of fun, especially when we are already in pain. Sad lot - a very sad lot indeed.
Here's an interesting tidbit that proves that supposed adults can act as bad as high school bullies only they try to destroy you rather than just poke at you:
