Demand justice for kidnapped grandchildren by CPS
The Issue
For the past six years, I've been living a nightmare. I am the biological grandmother of a precious child who has been taken away from me by Child Protective Services (CPS) in California. Since his birth, I have been his caretaker and his refuge, providing love, stability, and a safe home. His mother, battling addiction, entrusted me with his welfare, and I have honored that trust. Despite these circumstances, CPS wrongfully removed him from my care in what feels like an act of interstate kidnapping.
Over these six agonizing years, I have fought tirelessly in federal court, employing a total of eight attorneys in a desperate struggle for justice. Each has encountered a system that seems deaf to the pain and suffering imposed on families like mine. Instead of justice, I have met obstacles and resistance, with my only grandchild—the child I have loved and nurtured since day one—being kept away from the only home he has ever known.
The pain is immeasurable, but my resolve is unwavering. CPS is meant to protect our children, not tear loving families apart. A system established to safeguard children should never be complicit in their suffering. My grandson’s story is not unique; countless families suffer under these flawed practices. There must be accountability and reform to stop such traumatizing experiences from continuing.
We demand an investigation into this injustice, accountability for CPS actions, and a review of the policies that allow such separations to happen under questionable circumstances. Families should never be torn apart without just cause. Every child deserves to be with relatives who provide love and care, not removed due to bureaucratic oversights or incompetencies.
Join me in holding CPS accountable for their actions and demanding reforms to protect our families from unnecessary heartache. Let's stand together to ensure that no grandmother, no family, must suffer this heart-wrenching ordeal again.
Please sign this petition to call for profound changes in the CPS system to safeguard the rights of loving family members and ensure no child is unjustly taken from their rightful home.
