As a worried and defeated parent from Nixa, MO, I am raising my voice against the corruption spiralling within the Child Protection Services (CPS). This indispensable agency, designed to ensure the wellbeing of our children, has been jeopardizing the lives of kids it vows to protect. In my personal experience, the CPS has wrongly shielded a child abuser who has physically and mentally harmed my 4-year-old daughter. Despite his cruel actions, the CPS chose to conceal the truth, leading to the unjustified separation of my children from our family.

America is a country that upholds justice and cherishes family values, yet such a disheartening incident took place in our very community. The National Children's Alliance 2014 report states that nearly 700,000 children in America are victims of abuse and neglect each year. In Missouri, approximately 68,000 children suffered maltreatment in 2014. This scenario must be addressed. We cannot ignore these heart-wrenching statistics any longer. It is a contradiction that CPS, whose main responsibility is safeguarding children, too often becomes a part of the problem.

Keeping the best interest of our children in mind, let's demand a thorough investigation into the operations of CPS in Nixa, MO. Let's ensure that no abuser can misuse the trusted position of CPS, resulting in innocent children being subjected to any form of abuse. It's time to hold CPS accountable, foster transparency, end its corruption, and most importantly, reunite families that have been wrongfully separated.

Please, the future of our children is at stake. Stand with us in this struggle for justice. Sign this petition now and help bring our families back together.
