For years, my family and I have been entangled in a web of injustices at the hands of Child Protective Services (CPS) inAntlers(Pushmataha county) Oklahoma, and I have irrefutable proof to support my claims. Despite this, finding an attorney willing to take up the fight against this powerful institution has been a daunting task. My experience with CPS has been fraught with inequities and unjust actions, affecting the wellbeing of my children and eroding the trust in the body meant to protect.

Child Protective Services is tasked with safeguarding children, but their practices often seem to stray from this fundamental objective. There are numerous reports echoing my personal grievances—parents claiming mishandling of cases, lack of transparency, and questionable decision-making by both CPS and the judiciary. In Oklahoma, these issues should not be swept under the rug; they require immediate and thorough investigation.

A prominent investigation by local media could bring much-needed transparency and accountability. This includes examining how CPS conducts its investigations, assesses evidence, and makes determinations about the future of children and families. A spotlight on judiciary practices interacting with CPS decisions is equally imperative to ensure fairness and justice within familial courts.

Statistics show that Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of child removal and foster care placements in the United States, raising questions about the underlying reasons and processes. A detailed investigation by our local media can help ensure the welfare of children and families is genuinely prioritized and can highlight potential areas for reform within CPS and the judiciary.

By signing this petition, you are taking a stand for fair and just practices in family and children services in Oklahoma. This is not just my fight; it's about every family that has felt helpless against a system that should serve to protect them. We need our local media to scrutinize these practices, reveal truths, and become champions for positive change. Please add your signature to demand the necessary scrutiny and ultimately, a transformation in how CPS and judiciary systems operate in our state.
