    Post: Children Kidnapped by local DFS - update

    Posted by Amanda, amandakramer@hotmail.com, on 5/25/03


    I was curious as to why my first message asking for help
    was removed from this website.

    This is a sincere plea for anyone's help or advice.

    I will again post the following information. In addition to
    my first post, all visitations barring one hour per week
    with my children have been ceased due to an
    anonymous "hotline call" that was recently received. We
    have yet to be heard in front of a judge. My son will soon
    be 9 months old.

    The oldest child was caught in foster care acting out
    towards the other two children as we had already informed
    DFS was occuring in our home. They removed the two little
    ones and placed them with another foster family.
    Unfortunately, this family is not properly caring for my
    children, and the husband is being verbally abusive to my
    middle daughter. The new foster mother admitted such to my
    husband and myself. Only 2 hours after contacting my
    caseworker with this information, a "hotline" call was
    placed.
