Quote From: amyaaron86 Hi Dr. Phil;
I had my 9 year old daughter and 3 year old son taken from me on 1986, I had left them to play
with other children with a 14 yaer old baby sitting while I ran to the store. It was in may of that year
so it stayed light out side later than i the winter. Well I was gone for not more than an hour, and when
I returned there was a card from the local police department. So I called to see what had happened,
and the mother of the other children was busted for credit card fraud, and when they came to pick up
her children they took mine also, the officer said that they had already been placed, it was about
7:30, but he said I should not have any problem getting my kids because I was not involved, but he
said I would have to wait until the next day to pick them up. Well I tell you that was the longest night
in my life. The next morning I did not bother calling CPS I just went there expecting to pick up my
children. Well when I got there this woman had talked to my mother, whom we are not close at all.
She started acusing me of all these crimes I supose to have done, all I had was a ticket for driving
with out my licence in posseion, which I had just not with me. I could not believe it was the worst night
mare in my life. My kids were my life. And from that day on I lost my kids just on faulse accusations
from my own mother, she even got up on the first court hearing, and told the judge she did not want them
but she did not want me to have them either. To this day I have not talked to my mother.
What state do you live in and did you hire a lawyer?
It is very random and very unusual for a court system to take children away from a parent, especially a mother based on accusation alone without evidence to confirm. I don't mean to imply that you are not writing your whole truth but it is confusing and I'd love to know what steps you took to regain your children during and after this experience? The social welfare system is a long way from perfect and more often than not children are falling through the cracks before they are wrongly removed from a home.
I am very interested in your story! And I do write that with sincerity.
