I am a mother who has been living a nightmare for the past three years. My children were illegally removed from my care by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Since then, I have not been given proper visitation rights and have not seen my children physically in over a  year. Despite completing all recommended services, my pleas to reunite with my children have fallen on deaf ears.

My youngest child was only four months old when they took him away.The case against me was built solely on hearsay, with no concrete evidence to support their claims. I initially faced one allegation but ended up battling three different ones - all based on lies told by government officials who abused their power.

I have missed so many mommy moments and have reached out to local politicians to assist with reuniting my children. I have so many good memories that I shared with my kids before they were removed. I am located in Chicago and this tragedy should have never occurred. I need more people to sign my petition and spread my story around.

This is not an isolated incident; it's part of a larger problem where government agencies are accused of overstepping their boundaries and breaking apart families without just cause. This practice needs to be scrutinized and stopped immediately.

I am fighting for the return of my two innocent children who were taken away involuntarily based on unfounded allegations. But this fight extends beyond just me; it's for every parent who has had their child unjustly taken away from them by DCFS or similar agencies.

It's time we hold these government officials accountable for their actions and demand transparency and reparations in these cases that affect so many lives so deeply. We need your help to bring about this change – sign this petition if you believe in justice, family unity, and holding our public servants accountable for their actions.
