the reason they wanted my daughter to go to domestic violence class was because her husband had beaten her up 3mths before. I called a differant cps and they told me there was no valid reason for cps to bother my daughter. She told them she could take the domestic violence classes later bit because this class was only offered was a year and she needed to take them so she could be off assistance. But CPS really wanted that $5000 or so dollars for her to take that domestic violence class. She was victimized by her husband and then by the system when they could have helped her instead. The only problem the judge had was the differant people we had to watch them but if cps would have given her daycare then the couldnt have had anything against her.

Why did CPS want your daughter to tkae he Domestic Violence class in the first place? There is more to this than you are telling us. CPS would NOT even get involved if all she wanted to do was get DSHS to pay for babysitting. There HAS to be more to this. Also how old is your daughter, how many kids does she have and what about the father of the children? And I think that CPS tries to place children with a relative first before they jsut put them in foster care.

My daughter had to go thru cps for daycare when she wanted to take a cna class. CPS didnt want her to take the classes but instead take a domestic violence class. These classes were only offered once a year. She chose to better her future and cps refused to help with daycare. First appearance before judge he said no valid reason to take the kids except for the people around her house meaning friends that were babysitting. CPS said that they wanted to have a psycological evaluation done first and the judge agreed. That was the last time she appeared in front of that Judge. Everytime the were due to appear in front of that judge CPS continued the case to another date in front of a differant judge. Also the cps worker and the guardium @litem entered my daughters home when she wasnt there, because they told her manager that they had a right to enter her home. The manager signed a notorised statement and the judge still thru it out of court. Told my daughter that she didnt beleive her. I was told that the judge didnt have the time to read all my daughters documents.

You did not mention why your daughters kids were taken away in the first place or why they at first threatened to do it. There ahd to be some reason, at least in this state. You daughter should run, not walk, to legal aid and get an attorney involved and request a guardiam ad litem who looks after the best interest of the children. Go to www.access.wa.gov the official state web sight then click on find services within DSHS. Of course you can find out all kinds of stuff there if you take time to look. It not hurt to send a detailed letter to our new governor, Mrs Gregoir, since there is so much will will agains her, she might want to get on peoples good side and help. also the state senators from wehre your daughter lives and any other government representatives.. MAke sure that you know the real reason that your daughters kids were taken away or you will loo look like total fools.
