I cannot agree more that things that cause CPS to sense your kids vulnerability to their seizure is critical to avoid. In my case a divorce in which my ex claimed all sorts of abuse caused my oldest to be seized by CPS - after I was granted sole custody.
They refused to honor the judges order, and I was actually arrested for kidnapping - after my ex's family shot at my child!
The happy ending was that my ex's parental rights were terminated, and I was never officially charged with any crime, despite being arrested and transported to downtown Houston TX at 4:30 am, a place where I had never been before, and knew no one.
Texas Fathers for Equal Rights stepped up and rendered more assistance to me than I probably know they did. All I know is they got me on a plane home, with my son, the next day.
It cannot be stressed enough that divorce and dissolution proceedings are often a cause of CPS taking advantage to seize children. I and my kids were fortunate, yet even after that CPS occasioned my having to act to prevent them from coming after my family.
There is a market for children, and the news is sadly full of horrible examples. CPS is a primary supplier for this market.
Don't let your kids become commodities!
Thanks for all you do!
