Lynnette, my family has been gravely wronged by Riverside County CPS (Hemet office) from caseworker to Regional Managers. I wonder how many others have suffered such injustice from this agency. It is clear that at least in the Southwest Jurisdiction (Murrietta) it is very difficult to win a CPS case as it would seem "the department", county counsel and judge all tend to support each other. Caseworkers and supervisors buddy up with the county attorneys and often times interject their own views and prejudices by way of providing a biased report and failing to provide the level of services to the parents and family as set forth in the Manual of Policy and Procedures.
The first mandate is a case plan directed at family reunification and family preservation whenever possible. The problem is that that "whenever possible" is a subjective statement and if the caseworker determines in their own thinking that the parent is unworthy, they can "doctor" their report to reflect a parent who is unwilling and/or uncooperative to work their case plan within the time frame set forth in the Welfare and Institutions Codes. (WIC) The department is also required to provide a concurrent "permanency Plan" in the event reunification fails, which of course it surely will by design.
Because of the failures on their part to do a thorough FSRNA (Family Services Risk and Needs Assessment) they are unable to develop a case plan designed to address the problem that created the need to remove the children from the parent's custody. Then they come to the courtroom before a judge that has only their scathing and twisted report on which to base his judgement. The department simply continues their smear campaign until the clock runs out and the court is compelled to order the child/children be placed for adoption. It would be very enlightening to learn how many infants and toddlers are ordered for adoption compared to the number of older or special needs children. Perhaps another investigation by the Grand Jury is in order. Maybe it is time we come together with such a request.
The 820 motion is likely JV 820 (Juvenile Code) which you should be able to Google to read it for yourself. If you don't find it there, it might be listed under "Civil Codes" but more likely it will be under Juvenile Codes.
