In Manitowoc County, WI, USA, there is a deeply troubling issue that affects the lives of many families and children. Children are being removed from their homes without any evidence or search warrant. Judges are making decisions based on hearsay from Child Protective Services (CPS) workers to force adoptions with children in foster care for federal funding under Title 4E.

This practice is not only unethical but also illegal. It's personal to me because I've seen firsthand how children are being treated as inventory to capitalize on federal funding. Judges do not require any evidence to substantiate claims of abuse. If you or your lawyer files a motion for an evidentiary hearing, the judge will likely ignore it or find a way to dismiss the hearing before ever allowing families or parents to create a record for appeal.

To appeal a hearing from Manitowoc County, you need a transcript which is often difficult if not impossible to obtain due to these practices. This system leaves families powerless and voiceless against unjust child removals and forced adoptions.

We must demand change now! We urge our lawmakers in Manitowoc County and Wisconsin state legislature to review these practices immediately and implement reforms that ensure due process rights for all families involved with CPS.

It's time we put an end this exploitation of vulnerable children for financial gain under Title 4E Federal Funding. Please sign this petition today! Together we can bring about much-needed change in our community.
