DFACS ripped my family apart

[rwhatley114]

Almost five years ago my children were removed from our home and placed with my parents. They tried to say that my youngest daughter at the time was abused and that since we couldn't explain her "injuries" they were keeping our girls away from us. All of her injuries can be explained due to the horrific birthing experience where the hospital almost killed her. DFACS also tried to claim that we neglected our oldest daughter. They stated in court that we hadn't taken her to the doctor in two years at the time, but I have documents showing that I had. The judge that heard our case said it would take a miracle to every have our children come home. No one would listen to us. I love and miss my babies very much and it is time that they come home. Even the DA said there was never really a case against us and they closed said case a year ago and didn't tell anyone. DFACS lied to us and tried telling us to get a few classes and counseling done and they would let them come home to us and then blindsided us after a few meetings saying they were not ever letting them come home. We now have a perfect 7 week old baby and she deserves to have her sisters with her here at home. These people need to be held responsible for there actions. Please help.

Sorry, you need a lawyer in your county to assist you.
Without a lawyer you won't see them until they're adults.
Be careful with the new baby, they might try and snatch baby, too!

I have a feeling there is a LOT you aren't sharing as injuries sustained during the birthing process should be well documented and custody isn't taken away because a non-sick child isn't taken to a doctor. Either way, if this has already gone to court, I presume you already have a lawyer which would be the best person to direct your inquiries to. If you did this without a lawyer, now would be an excellent time to get one. File and appeal and discuss with counsel.

I concur there must be more your not saying. I am not saying your an abuser just that if you want our advice you need to give us all the info. Social services is not in the business of separating families but uniting them. As Ellen states if this was a birthing issue it would be documented so there is more. We are not here to Judge you just help you
