My story starts around 11 years ago. But for today, I am starting with the current situation. All contact has been severed with my children. My children are in the care of my sister Christy. She has refused to let me see the children because I brought my attorneys paralegal to her house. She did not know her. I have this in writing. That was the last time I saw my children. The latest is I cannot talk to my children. This has been going on since March (early.) I have called every DCFS office including the main one in Little Rock. They refuse to answer anything. They even condone the contempt of court actions of their workers.
How it all started this time.
My Children were taken in February. Actually one was stolen by DCFS on Feb 24th around 3p.m. I was at my moms home not far from the school. About 2:45 I got a call to come to the school. I walked in and Evelyn told me to go outside. I asked her what was going on. She started yelling at me as soon we got outside. She told me the police were on their way because I was not cooperating. My mom, Allison Haas, and the police (3) to be exact showed up within seconds. Evelyn continued to yell and scream and Allison threaten to take all my kids if I did not cooperate. The officers suggested we go inside to the conference room. We walked in and turned around and walked outside. I was crying and I kept asking what was going on. They would only say i was not cooperating. No other excuse was given. Allison through all of this kept saying I’ll just pull them now. I am tired of this. I my mom said something to Allison and Allison turned around and yelled I can and will take these kids now. My mom came over to Evelyn to see if she could get information as to what was happening from her. I was crying and everytime I asked why or what they both would answer with I will just take you kids. She said Sebastian would be taken to Rivendell for assessment. We told her no we did not want him to go there. That I would take him somewhere else. She stated everything was full and we had no choice. And if I did not go there They would take my kids for good. With that two of the children came out of the school. Sebastian was the last one to come out. When he was coming down the hall. He started holding his chest and sobbing uncontrolably. A officer which was standing beside my mother saw this. My mom said he asked if the boy had a heart condition. She told him not yet. When Sebastian came out. he came to my my mom and me. He told my mom “Nanny they lied to me.” She told him we would get through this. Evelyn came up to my mother and said “if you run with these kids I will have your ASS.” My mom said where am I going, I live here and have a job. We were escorted to the car by the police. I had driven my brother in laws car and asked if I could drop it off at my moms house three blocks from the school. They said no leave it here. I told them I was in the traffic lane and they said move it to the road. I moved it to the park and my mom escorted by the police picked me up. They would not even let my mom stop for gas.
Once at Rivendell we were met in the parking lot by Allison and Evelyn. The officer went up and talked to them and left. I was required to sign Sebastian in. I signed under duress on everything. We were taken to a room were I kept asking why this was happening. And why Sebastian was here. They would not answer. All the way through the initial intake whenever I would ask a question Allison would just say I will take these kids now. I am so sick of this. And her and Evelyn would sit across the table and discuss this case and other cases. Trying to distract me. I never got a answer as to why this was happening. When the intake was over and we were preparing to leave. They told us Sebastian was staying. We were pissed off. They had a few papers that needed to be signed. So I signed under duress again. Sebastian was devistated because he had to stay. My mom talked to him and eased his hurt a little.
We left with the other two children. I went to my moms and called my sister Christy to come get the kids. She had papers ready and a notary in tow. I signed temp guardianship over to her that night. She took them home and agreed to watch them while I got my life back in order.
Feb. 25th Christy enrolled them in school that morning. By noon DCFS worker Allison had called the school and said she was coming to get the kids because I had taken them out of the county. I had not. This was a lie. That afternoon Allison called me and said she had my children in custody. She asked me If I knew why. I told her yes because MS. Smith and Donna called me to the school Feb 6th and told me that if I did not check myself into Rivendell they would make sure DCFS got my kids. She stated yes that Ms. Smith and Donna had called and asked her to pick up the kids because I was checking myself into Rivendell. Allison asked me why everyone is so mad at me. I told her “because I won’t kiss their ass.” Allison Haas told me to many people have their nose in my buisness that Rivendell is for minors, not adults. Allison asked me if I wanted Christy to have the kids when we go to court. I told her yes that had already been taken care of. And that they had no reason nor right to take them from Christys home. Nor to take them out of school. I asked Allison why they were taken away. And she had to get off the phone. On this day they were placed in a orphanage instead of with family.
On Feb. 26th my visitation with Sebastian was removed. No contact was allowed with him. Even the mandated counciling was removed. l could not be there. To contact the case worker.
March 1st, Christy was allowed visitation with Sebastian
March 2nd, Christy was finally allowed contact with Sherrie and Allen. Subpeoned to DHS court DATE and TIME March 3d at 1p.m.
March 3rd I was woke up by my mom who said court was being held at 8am instead of 1pm. Myself and the childrens father went to court with my mom. Temp Guardianship was awarded to Christy. She got Sherrie and Allen that night. And I was allowed to talk to them.
March 6th Christy got Sebastian. I got to talk to him. Even though I had to talk to them talk on speaker where she could hear everything.
March 8th I was allowed to visit my children. My Mom took me. It was good to see my kids.
April 11th My paralegal and I went to see the kids. This is what my attorney said to do. We colored eggs and had a great time. After that it was decided between Christy and DHS that I could not see my kids. No explaination. Except DHS said so. Then in a letter Christy wrote to my mom. It said because I had taken a paralegal with me. She saw no reason for me to bring anyone with me. Finally she admitted it. After this it got real bad.
May 15 2009 I have spoken to two people in the Little Rock office who are saying they took my kids because I was on drugs. (lets see the original reason they took them was because I fled the county with them.) I told her to drug test me . I have previously failed two. One because I did not produce enough and the second because I did not show up for the test. (They are not liscened physicians and according to my attorney not allowed to use this in court since they are not liscened.) I asked her again why she took my children. She asked me if I was at court? I told her yes and to F them because they cannot say i was on drugs, they had not given me a drug test. She said Christy told me on the phone that If I wanted to see my kids I need to go to the DHS office an pass 3 drug tests. I told her they are not doctors. I told her the court order says I can see my kids at DHS office. I asked her to define visitation. It does not say I cannot talk to them. she hung up when I told her I would be publishing the story.
More later
I have called everyone trying to get answers. No one even the agency head will tell me why I cannot see or talk to my children. I am so tired my mom keeps telling me to just hang in there. But I know they had no reason to stop me from contacting my kids.
My family is torn apart. My sister is keeping my kids from me. Our family has literally been torn apart by DCFS. It is the agencies fault. We used to talk. Now nothing.
I will write more later. There is so much more that has happened.
Please learn your rights and teach them to your children.
