Dear God!  My husband and I have suspected his ex-wife of MBP for about two years.  CPS finally got involved in February, but only because she had accused us of sexually abusing their two children.  The accussations were totally bogus and the Sherriff Investigator and CPS told my husband to "get a damn good lawyer and get custody of your kids".  CPS in New York (our state) then contacted CPS in Ohio (where she lives) to report that in their investigation (of us) they beleived that the mother may be suffering from MPS.  Ohio CPS did nothing.  They would not even speak to husband because the report did not come from him, it came from the case-worker in our State.  You must know that the 7 year-old had had 35 different doctors, 4 different emergency rooms, a psychologist, a speech therpaist, several visits to CPS for exams for "so-called" unfounded abuse, the list goes on, in the last two years alone.  The 4-year-old has had 42 different doctors, 4 different emergency rooms, a psychologist, several visits to CPS including 2 vaginal exams (even after a doctor testified there was no abuse and was unaware that the mother continued to pursue it), the list goes on, again over the last two years.  They have had surguries and constant medications.  The mother sends us letters with all the ailments she suspects such as lead poisoning, allergies, autism, sleeping disorders, seperation anxiety, catch scratch fever, ear infections, sinus infections, upper respitory infections, pink eye, the list is endless.  The oldest says his mother pours water in his ears.  The youngest says she wakes up at night because she thinks she's getting poked and stung by bees.  She says her mommy takes her to the doctor when she wakes up.  She talks about how her mommy doesn't like the big hospital anymore.  They literally drive one and sometimes two hours to go to different doctors and hospitals!  These kids are with us for weeks at a time and have never required medical care.  They sleep through the night.  They are happy.  It never ceases to amaze me the difference in them from day 1 (when they come to see us) to day 5.  It breaks our hearts to think what they are going through and what might be happening at their mother's.  Can someone help us?  CPS in New York can't do anything more even though they suspect it (CPS is a state run agency).  The New York Family Court could care less.  We filed for immediate custody and were basically verbally abused in the Judge's Chambers.  When we went to court the judge would't even hear the case.  He sent both parents to seperate rooms and told them to work it out.  We have no where left to go.  We feel angry, frustrated, and horrified for these children.  We feel that the court system (at least in our county) does not protect our children.  It is the most sickening feeling a person can have to sit and watch Dr.Phil's show today and wonder if your children/step-children are going though what those innocent and helpless children went through.  Please, can.....and will.....someone help us and our kids?
