I hate cps but if they have validity they will take your kid away, I have had someone call on me with false reports but my file was closed in two weeks but it is still on file even though it was closed.

They called on me for abuse, neglect, not feeding my kids and the child-care provider suffering severe depression. Now I had to provide numbers of my doctor nurses, social communities etc.

YOU need proof, especially when it comes to them

Both my kids were born with Mongolian marks (birth marks that are pale grey, usually located on their back/bum, this happens in people of native American, Mediterranean and of Asian decent. I had a case-worker come to my house to verify that I had food, to check the house and safety, in regards to my children, I passed there, the worker said it was probably just a false call, although she would still need to verify with my doctor (weight ect).

I dont know law in the states, but if they have serious proof, you are screwed but if you are not lying or someone else committed the faults , not only can you SUE for slander but you can go for contempt and a few other things.

They can't touch you for drinking during pregnancy, unless it was severe drinking or hard rugs. Alot of us have drank during our pregnancy, I had a few glasses of wine over the holidays and there is no law against it only morals.

Neglect can mean anything, you neglected something one time, everyone parent can say maybe we neglected to put a diaper or to change them (not intentionally) but when cps says neglect that is hard core.

CPS usually doesnt come in for minor stuff, they usually have valid proof but they cant take your second kid away, unless there is reason for them to do so.

My suggestions and act quick

Take a parenting course
Be around people
attend birthing group or other social groups
Go to play groups
Talk to a counsellor

etc etc
If you can be honest with yourself and others, they cannot do nothing.

Thats the thing i never drank when i was pregnant & i never neglected my daughter cps is just saying that. right now i am talking to a counselor i have a home health nurse come here also i want to do everything to prove to cps that i can care for my child witch i can. cps is making us go through a lot right because we disagreed on dependency when i should have agreed and went to a trial. We are going to individual counseling, marriage counseling & they want my husband to do anger management witch he does not need. We see our daughter only twice a week for two hours we do not deserve this we are good people and cps in Washington lies about us so much its ridiculous.

What proof do they have other than these photos? Who called CPS in the first place (daycare, family members, friends)?

What part of Washington did you live? Where are in Oregon? There are a lot of towns on the border and living in them wouldn't mean 'running' away. If you are consistent with your visitation and your commitment to get your daughter back, you will.

Why wouldn't your husband do everything he could (anger management classes) to get your child back? I'd do whatever I could if my child was taken from me, whether it was done rightly or wrongly, I'd walk through fire to get my child back.

It depends on what is within your file, if you are fit parents, whether CPS will take this child also.

Prove the lies false and everything will work out.

Hun if they have no proof then you can call them on hear say!!!

Talk to a lawyer, you have so much availabe to fight with nowadays

Good luck!!

sorry I didnt mean to sound rude in my other post

We are doing everything right now cps is telling us to do.
