My name is Aleesha Level, and I am calling for urgent reform of Washington’s child welfare system. Too many parents have been harmed by unsupported allegations, coercive practices, weak oversight, and a process that too often fails to protect due process and family integrity. When the state intervenes in a family, that power must be used carefully, lawfully, and with accountability. Parents deserve clear standards, real evidence, access to records, meaningful opportunities to challenge allegations, and consequences when social workers or agencies violate the rules. This petition calls on Washington State leaders and DCYF to strengthen oversight, improve transparency, require stronger evidentiary protections, and expand parent advocacy services so families are treated fairly and humanely. Washington already recognizes the importance of parental rights, and those rights must be protected in practice, not just in principle. By signing this petition, you are supporting a system that protects children without disregarding parents’ rights, dignity, or constitutional protections. Families should not have to fight a system that is supposed to serve them. CPS should not be allowed to rely on hearsay, even if it is presented with sworn testimony, when the result can be separating a child from a parent. If the state is going to take such a serious action, it should be required to rely on real, verified evidence . When a parent’s rights and a child’s family relationships are at stake, we need to uphold what the constitution says. This is supposed to be a protected right. Im asking you to help me by signing this, our children , our future
