I am in a similiar situation with TN;, but in my case, it is the judge who took my kids. DCS testified on the stand that there were no grounds to even open a case against me. I took my 13 year old son to court to have him admitted to Youth Villages for inpatient treatment. The judge decided I was unfit, though my child had 5 years of prior mental health treatment history due to his behavior. I have 3 younger children, and the judge removed all 4 of them without investigation. DCS told me that day: they didn't want my children in the system. The judge has bullied me AND my son for 18 months now, and told me it doesn't matter WHAT DCS decides. That he highly doubts he will grant me custody of my children again. I just saw on the news a couple days ago that DCS in TN is now being investigated for severe misconduct. Hopefully, that includes corrupt judges, too.
