RELEASE THE FILES: DEMAND TRANSPARENCY FROM CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

All Child Support Enforcement Agencies must immediately produce:

✓ Medical records justifying custody decisions
✓ Evidence of abuse allegations used against parents
✓ Financial accounting of Title IV-D federal incentive payments
✓ Case outcome data showing patterns of abuse

 
WHY THIS MATTERS

→ 40,000+ families report systemic abuse by CSEA
→ Billions in federal incentives create conflicts of interest
→ Children are used as revenue generators through Title IV-D payments
→ Zero independent oversight exists to protect families

 
OUR DEMANDS

Public release of anonymized case data from all CSEA offices
Independent audits of all Child Support Enforcement Agencies
Congressional investigation of the Title IV-D incentive program
Legal protection for families reporting CSEA abuse
 
SIGN IF YOU BELIEVE:

☐ Children deserve protection over profit
☐ Parents deserve transparency and due process
☐ Government systems require accountability
☐ The truth must be released

 
WHY I STARTED THIS PETITION

I discovered my 12-year-old daughter was being abused. I reported it and filed for emergency custody to protect her. A hearing was held, but despite being named as a Petitioner on the Motion, my daughter was silenced—not allowed to testify about her own abuse.

I filed a Federal Complaint detailing 12 years of human rights violations. The next day, I submitted a Public Records Request to verify if medical documentation even existed. Within hours, CSEA produced a transaction history—proving they can respond immediately when exposure threatens them.

Days later, the court issued what I can only describe as a ransom demand: pay $8,000 for "cash medical" expenses for illnesses my daughter doesn't have, or lose parenting time and face imprisonment. I don't have $8,000. Both the court and CSEA knew this—I had already submitted an affidavit of indigency.

I filed a second Federal Complaint with a Temporary Restraining Order against both CSEA and the court actors involved. I could not attend their hearing without forfeiting my constitutional rights and consenting to state court authority while federal jurisdiction is pending. A civil warrant was issued by the defendants.

I gave CSEA 24 hours to provide the medical files they've neglected for 12 years. They failed to produce any documentation or contact me—because the files either don't exist, or releasing them would require admitting to fraud.

I'm waiting for the TRO to be issued, but I may not survive this process. I know my daughter and I are not alone. Tens of thousands of families experience this level of abuse from CSEA. I may not be able to protect my daughter, but I hope this petition can save others from the same fate.

Your signature demands that CSEA can no longer operate in darkness.
