		<description>The same happened to me. My ex-mother-in-law called and claimed that I &quot;spend all night on the computer and sleep all day while the baby is awake&quot;, which firstly, is not true, and second, I live alone and generally keep to myself, so no one would have &#039;known&#039; if I was. When CPS came to my door, she demanded to come in and I asked her nicely if she had a search warrant. She said she didn&#039;t need one, and she needed to come into the house, to make sure I wasn&#039;t asleep, I guess? I know she didn&#039;t need to come in to see the baby, who I was holding in my arms and who had just gotten out of the bathtub and was happily chewing on a cracker. The worker told me that if I did not let her in, that she would call the police, which is exactly what she did. The police showed up, and the officer told me that CPS didn&#039;t need search warrants if they had &quot;probable cause&quot; (although they didn&#039;t), and I had to let her in or I would be arrested. I let them in, and an hour later my daughter was placed in my ex-mother-in-law&#039;s temporary custody. Thankfullly, my daughter is home now after going to court a few times, but I&#039;ve wondered about that also. Even the FBI needs a search warrant, correct? So what gives CPS the power to enter a person&#039;s home with no good reason?</description>

		<description>Does this kind of abuse happen often?

Has no one ever ended such kangaroo proceeding by taking out a handgun and killing his/her tormentors?  If not, why not?</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t help but to comment more.  Concerning that &quot;Facilitator&quot; you mentioned; in my state, CPS facilitaors must have a Masters in Social Work. I have met same (presumably with Master&#039;s degrees) who have been as insipid and as &#039;uneducated&#039; as the very one you had encountered.

I too nearly lost my cool when encountering said individials.  It&#039;s their arrogance and the lack of liability (the immunity they possess)that enable them to do the things they do.

I do hope your former client prevailed.  I have a feeling she may have thanks to your diligence and concern.

CPS is a bloody nightmare.  Although statutes and protocol exist, CPS does not follow same. They make it up as they go along and unless there is an attorney present to call them ontheir actions, they steamroll families, often destroying said families entirely.

I actually had one CPS worker say to me that she did not need to abide by the 4th Amendment as she was a state employee...................

There have actually been Federal Court decisions reminding CPS that, &quot;hello&quot;, you must abide by the 4th Amendment.

Absolutely incredible.</description>

		<description>Family Team Meeting.  I think CPS nationwide employs same.

Attorneys are often told Not to attend.  CPS does not like attorneys.

I worked on a few cases similar to the one you described.  That is; nothing happened. There was no crime, no abuse, no neglect -yet CPS does not care.

It seems that their goal is to get as many people into the system as possible.

Now, there is more.  Even though nothing happened, if a CPS worker thinks something did happen, and it seems that many CPS workers are schooled to think that there is abuse everywhere, the parents&#039; names will still be put on a state child abuse registry.  No trial.  No opportunity to be heard and at least in California, the names stay on the list for life.

I bet if you hadn&#039;t seen this with your own eyes that you would never have believed it.

The Constitution thrown right out the window.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve had similar issues with CPS.  I have a theory about CPS and similar agencies.  If you stick a CPS worker into a given geographical area, that CPS worker is going to take away at least X number of kids per year.  I&#039;m guessing CPS workers, like almost all government bureaucracies, are evaluated based on comparisons to surrounding CPS offices. I&#039;m sure some baseline expectation, written or unwritten, exists that in a given population a worker should be expected to have X number of cases per year that requires removal of a child from a home. Maybe I&#039;m completely in left field on this but I feel compelled to figure out why some clients lose temporary custody of their children for seemingly no good reason.</description>
