After 22 months, my children are finally back in my home. One year ago, we got a company, other than DCFS, as our caseworker for the case. I think DCFS realized how much information I had gathered against them, and knew they had to get away from me being able to utilize their checks and balance systems.
Thus, I have quite a bit of explanation with regard to where all the bizarre information and services that were recommended came from. The mistruths from DCFS go all the way back to the first day I came in contact with them.
I highly suggest that one keeps accurate and detailed records about what is said to DCFS from their own mouths along with what DCFS tells you. I also suggest that you push your attorney, especially if it is the court appointed one, for copies of everything that is in your files. Take the time to read every piece of information several times so that your emotions are not getting in the way.
My family has beet through total H-E- double hockey sticks because of this case, and it came pretty close to destroying my family. I held on. I almost didn’t. DCFS has to be stopped from being able to legally do what they do. I plan on taking quite an active role in bringing their deceit out in the open once they close my case. As it sits right now, they still have legal guardianship over my children, and I am not going to rock the boat till I have that back.
Every single service my children and I have been put through has been done through their fabrication of what was happening to and with my family.
It is a total outrage that they can do this legally, and they need to be stopped…one case at a time.

CA Mom good for you and yes, children are first! It totally sucks that your children are being held hostage (even at this point!)because of the threat of this agency.
Just so you know what they are doing is NOT legal. And it is coming out. I do hope that once you are released from this nightmare you will continue the fight for others who were not able to do it or are not because, like you, their children are being held hostage and parents have to live in FEAR of our own Govt.
