Re: CPS lying

More | Report Post

You should have gotten some documentation about that court
hearing where the CPS woman lied. It should be the Final paper
work for that hearing, it should say at the end of it
somewhere, If you wish to appeal, you need to do so by such a
date. I would appeal.
Get the medical records from the children's doctor visits
since birth, and get the records from where CPS had taken them.
Document everything thats happening, Names, places (phone,
place) Time, date, go into as much detail as you can with that.
I would also talk to your lawyer about getting the children's
regular pediatrician to testify on your behalf in court, about
the children's condition(s).
Talk to your lawyer about having family members that CPS
should have contacted, and never did, to come and let the
judge know that.
Thats all the information i can give you at this point, i
hope that it has helped. Good luck, and keep up posted.
