In 2021, my children were taken from me for seven agonizing days. The cause? A false positive drug screen result from Forensic Fluids, a lab used by Child Protective Services (CPS). This experience turned my world upside down, and unfortunately, my story is not unique. I have come across numerous families in my area affected in the same devastating way, and my search online reveals hundreds more across the country who have fallen victim to erroneous test results from this lab.

Forensic Fluids is reportedly providing unreliable drug screening results, severely impacting people's lives. Parents have unjustly lost custody of their children, students have been expelled from nursing and other educational programs, and individuals have been terminated from their jobs—all due to false positives that this lab has failed to adequately confirm. Testing accuracy is fundamental, especially when the stakes are this high. We cannot allow errors to wreak havoc on the lives of families and individuals.

There have been troubling allegations that Forensic Fluids is either not confirming tests correctly or is using unlawful cutoff levels. These practices not only jeopardize the integrity of the screening process but lead to the unwarranted suffering of countless people who are diligently trying to maintain their livelihoods and family integrity.

It is imperative that CPS ceases using Forensic Fluids' testing services immediately and seeks an alternative that guarantees accurate and verifiable results. Furthermore, a thorough investigation into the current practices of Forensic Fluids is essential to ensure accountability and prevent further injustices.

We must safeguard our communities from these detrimental inaccuracies. By demanding a change in the drug testing methods employed by CPS, we protect families, careers, and reputations. Let's take a stand together against these unfair practices and advocate for a system that ensures justice and accuracy above all.

Please sign this petition to demand that CPS stops using Forensic Fluids Lab for drug screenings and commits to a more reliable method of testing, ensuring the accurate handling of each case and protecting the lives of those wrongly accused. Together, we can bring about the change that's desperately needed.
