My daughter is currently being investigated by C.P.S. in van Zandt County, the case worker was informed my one year old grandson needed his machine for his breathing treatment, she was not concerned nor did she ask for his machine. The caseworker admitted she had heard him wheezing when she had made a visit to my daughters home. I want to know if charges can be filed against the caseworker for neglect because of his medical condition. Also isn't it abuse on her part for not seeking medical attention for my grandson

BTW, find a certifiably good lawyer. Look for lawyers who will stand up for you on principle. Like attorneys from the lawyer's guild. It also won't hurt to befriend a reporter/journalist. I want to point out, that journalists hear from people who've been victimized by the state many times a month. And some may be enthusiastic, at first. But every reporter will quickly grow tired of dealing with a frantic person dealing with what CPS intentionally puts them through to make them seem crazy. While dealing with reporters, be sure to think ahead, legally, and be sure not to make the reporter uncomfortable with your emotions. CPS victims often d this unintentionally without realizing it. But it's a big deal.

Probably not as big of a deal as allowing media into cover these cases in the first place. In Texas, it's a law that the press cannot report on these court cases, which operate under a cloak of darkness, because of the child's privacy. But this is big deal. And like someone said above, it's up to state representatives to change these laws, and the media to be savvy enough to cover the issue correctly, which you rarely find with today's intellectually lazy journalists.

If you want, try to reach me on here. I do my best to help people.

I'd enjoy nothing more than shining light on the Travis County Pedophile Posse, and Carol Morin, Brian Speer, Tiffany Crotch-Bartlett, and Darlene "The Child Peddler" Byrne.

My name is billy morgan and I currently have a c.p.s case with Van Zandt county c.p.s. I obviously can not speak on anyone else's situation; however my case has went very smoothly.
Last September the feds and county drug agents were at my house. C.p.s was called and everyone in my home tested positive for meth( including my 4 year old.)
C.p.s has always been encouraging and more than fair. I was given classes, counciling, n.a to do. I did everything they asked me to do. I had two different case workers during this year long supervision, both were always encouraging and helpful. I did not expect to be treated the way I was. Especially when I initially read numerous horror stories.
I only write this because I truly believe c.p.s had my families best interest at heart. I did what they asked and enjoyed it, I learned alot and I feel like this has been a blessing.
If you find yourself in a c.p.s case, do what they ask and do it with the same tenacity that you did drugs and you will be fine ( if drugs were the reason for the case.)
They are there to help if you are willing to do the work.
Thank you to all of the workers at Van Zandt c.p.s especially M.B.

I can confirm that Carol Morin uses her subordinates to make herself look good. Carol was being deposed as part of an investigation into her mishandling of a case in which evidence “disappeared” from the case file. She claimed she was on vacation during that time (the time in question was a period of 5 months so I guess she was sailing her yacht in the south of France and couldn’t be reached). She claimed she had no knowledge of the case, which has been a pending criminal investigation for almost 3 years, and that she simply does not know what happened to the evidence in the case file. Although she has no knowledge, she says, it is possible that one of her investigators has done something wrong in the case, but it wasn’t her.

People like Carol Morin think they can get away with doing whatever they want to innocent people because they usually do get away with it. Carol Morin didn’t remove the fabricated evidence of a suspected child abuser from the case file because she thought it was the right thing to do for the victim, she did it because it was going make her look bad. And it does make her look bad…to the police.

We need your help. You may have information that you don’t even realize that could be essential to the case, or you may know another employee who does.

Holy crap.

I can't believe I'm just seeing this right now.

It's 2022. But I have something to share with you that likely would have been pertinent to that case.

I mean, this actually could land her behind bars, where she belongs, if it were to actually be investigated and saw the light of day.

Maybe I'll follow up with the FBI.

Makes sense to me that this woman was out on a yacht during all of this, because that's what Carol [censored] is: a child trafficker, propped up by many of the busy-body, do-gooder, fake-Christian types, who, like Billy Dan Carrol, are nothing more then pedophiles who flock to these types of positions like wolves in sheep's clothing.

How would I reach you?

Carol Morin is pure evil and openly states how she despises children within the CPS walls. She is more concerned with her over inflated ego than anyone else's well being. She jokes about the families she is supposed to be helping and constantly berates her workers to make herself look better. The only thing worse than Carol Morin being in CPS is her Supervisor Jessica Sutton/ Morton who's jaw can unhinge.

CPS REMOVED OUR DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILD WITHOUT A COURT ORDER. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN A HEARING ON AN EMEMRGENCY REMOVAL. OUR DAUGHTER WAS RAPED BY HER TEACHER IN THE SIXTH GRADE. CPS MOVED OUR CHILDREN NEXT DOOR TO THE RAPIST AND LEFT THEM THERE BY AN ORDER FROM THE JUDGE. WE FOUND OUR CHILDREN SEVEN MONTHS LATER AND WERE KICKED OUT OF THE CPS HEARINGS. THE GUARDIAN AD-LITEM'S TO OUR GRANDSON HAS AN ASSISTANT THAT THE COURT GAVE TEMPORARY CONSERVATORSHIP TO. THIS FAMILY SEXUALLY ABUSED OUR GRANDCHILD AND THE FATHER WAS INDICTED FOR DWI. WE CANNOT FIND OUR GRANDCHILD EVEN THOUGH WE SHARE JOINT CUSTODY OF HIM WITH THIS FAMILY. WHAT DO WE DO?

CPS, specifically Carol Morin and Brian Speer, refused to listen to my concern's about my brother, Kyle Keller's and his girlfriend at the time (they have since married to avoid loss of assets in a wrongful death case), Perry Ray's severe alcohol and drug abuse. I told them several times after they falsified court documents to remove my daughter, Koryn Hensley Keller, that I would rather have her placed in an unknown foster care environment than with my brother and his paramour. These people by their own words "consume more alcoholic calories than food calories" and I wanted my daughter placed somewhere outside of immediate family. But they insisted her placement was a good one. After Kenneth Kyle Keller was dismissed of any criminal wrongdoing, CPS has still yet to make any conclusion as to neglectful supervision or any other civil wrongdoing. CPS not only allows children like my 1 month old daughter Koryn, to be placed in an unsafe environment, they also lied and rhetorically slandered and vilified my character.

The end result was they took her out of a good home, and put her in a very bad home--where she ultimately suffocated to death (as the official cause).

CPS is involved, by law they are required to invetigate, but you have to remember that the main concern of CPS is not the child first but rather the public eye of CPS, it is thier first concern to protect themselves againt public pressure, thier action are all to protect themselves against public redicule, the childs welfare is of not concern to them.
The best way out of a CPS investigator is to have them believe that there is nothing there that will bring them redicule.
However thier worst fear is Laws that you can pass to limit thier endless power, remember you make the laws in your state, as of now most states uphold that the investigator and employees of CPS is not liable for any action, even if there is proff of wrong doing by CPS.
The best solution is to have a law that installs a internal investigation section in which they are responsible for any and all wrong doing by the CPS, and have the law state that they are able to suspend, fine, and imprison any CPS official that puts a child indanger or acts wrongfully and without proof against the parent of caretaker,
And iclude that there must be a JURY hearing within 48 hours after the child is removed to allow CPS to keep the child away from thier parents.
This way CPS internal will be on your side and it is not YOU against CPS, but rather CPS internal against CPS, and in this way CPS official do not have blanket protection. and must defend thier wrongful action.

You sue them in their individual capacities.

That's how you do it.

See cases like Fogarty-Hardwick v. County of Orange, etcetera.

You can bring Monell clains, etcetera.

Familial separation is also a violation of the First Amendment, because it chills or prevents your ability to associate whom with you'd like to associate.

More importantly, to avoid these grubby scumbags ever entering your life, familiarize yourself with the Fourth Amendment. You actually have the same rights to not speak with them as you do with anyone else. You can tell them to go get a warrant (I promise you they will not, because for a judge to sign a warrant the child has to be in danger of immediate harm or neglect at that time, or the time it would take a social worker to go obtain a warrant for them to actually remove them, so you show them the child is safe and shut the door, no answering questions), and they may try to threaten you. But that's when you can record. And I always recommend video-recording things for your attorney.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, do not sign anything without a lawyer present. If you happen to get Tiffany-Crouch Bartlett (criminal with a legal license) as your attorney, fire her and request another one. Because she's a flat out liar who is in on this scam. She will talk about her clients that love her, but those reviews are merely her pedophile posse giving her some social proof in her reviews. She's as bad of an attorney as Carol Morin is a human being, in general.

It's never too late for justice to be served on these pukes.

The case worker has pure immunity. That means you cannot sue the caseworker in her official capacity. CPS in Texas has more power that any unit of government and will yeald that power with pure abuse and vicious violence. There is nothing you can do. I have been having the problems for the past 13 years and Kristi Rice, Michael Hubert, and LaKisha Hart have been on my backs for over a decade. Kristi Rice is the Supervisor for investigations for CPS and Michael Hubert and LaKisha Hart are her violent hunchmen.

You can sue the investigator in civil court but you will not be awarded any money and it will just cost you. I spent $20, 000 against CPS and just received my first restraining order in over a decade. I have a step daughter that is Type 1 Diabetic and her dad stole her from her mother and kept her for over a year and no one in Canton or Van Zandt would ever help. I filed a series of legal cases and evetually made the dad take a drug test. When the father and step mother and other kids in the home came back with GHB in the system(pot) the judge ordered the child back with the Mother. The mother is a master degreed accountant and stay at home mom. The dad had originally filed a complaint with CPS and Kristi Rice took the complaints all the way to court against the step dad and made him look bad in family court. There were over a dozen false cases already filed by the dad against the step dad with CPS. Remember its a felony to file a false report with CPS 261.107 TX FAMILY CODE

When the dad tested positive and testified that he did indeed smoke pot and the step mother testified that she smoked pot on the property with the child home. (22.041 Texas Penal Code) The step mother admitted that she did commit child endangerment. We called CPS and advised them that the father and step mother were doing drugs and did them with the child on the property. CPS said they got screwed by the step dad and were not willing to get involved. Just like CPS to endanger the lives of child because their a bunch of baby killers.

CPS does not have pure immunity. I can promise you that.

One thing you want to avoid is falling trap to the sovereign citizen type movements/(mis)information on the internet and brush up on what your civil rights are as an American Citizen and what those mean, like the First Amendment and Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth Amendments, et cetera.

You have every right to sue CPS in their individual capacities: like suing Carol Morin herself for abusing her position to violate your First and Fourth Amendment rights by removing your child without exigent circumstances.

Please, record these people somehow when you're in their presence and do not let them know. Document everything you do and keep a record of emails, accusations, classes you've attended, reports, etcetera. The more records you keep of everything, the more you can later prove when it comes down to you losing your parental rights.

And NEVER AGREE to anything.

When Carol Morin says she wants to have a FTM or "Family Team Meeting," she's trying to determine how hard she can screw you over by stealing your child and giving them to pedophiles or sickos like her pedophile posse. You want to have family in these meetings asking questions, defending you, and knowing their rights. Never trust a lawyer who works mostly CPS cases. If you can afford it, hire a civil rights attorney to work on your case. These people know what they're doing, and they're good at fooling you into thinking what they're doing to you is legal. But I guarantee you it is not legal, and sooner or later, Carol's day will come. And I can't think of a more deserving person to be behind bars right now.

A couple of other things I want to add.

If you are wronged, CPS will tell you to file a complaint. In the typical sense, that's not going to do much for you, especially if you're just filling out a complaint form and giving it to CPS to handle themselves. They will just trash it, before saying they will do their best to address your concerns, internally. But at Travis County, CPS is ran by uber-criminal, and literal child-trafficker, Carol [censored]. Anyway, you may also "complain by going online, and find somewhere to complain and commenting there. But that actually does you close to zero good.

Where you really have leverage at, especially if something goes wrong, or you're violated, and/or your child is violated, is filing a lawsuit, AKA by lawyers as a "complaint." When CPS workers tells you that you can file a complaint, turn it around on them and say something like, "I mean like a lawsuit, legal complaint." That will wake them up and make their head spin."

Other things you can do is ask the judge to recuse themselves for showing bias towards you and failing to treat your case in an impartial manner (this will also make their headspin). But it's always wisest to do this stuff with an attorney on your side. Make SURE it is an attorney EXPERIENCED in CIVIL RIGHTS.

If they don't have cases in federal court, or have never won a civil rights case, ever, chances are they are not actually qualified to give you the kind of representation your situation deserved. You want to keep calling and calling around to find a civil rights attorney who can help you. If you hire a young attorney, make sure they have an experienced civil rights attorney overseeing your case. Remember, civil rights, civil rights, civil rights.

A good place to start is Fogarty-Hardwick. But if you're able to comprehend, or are a quick learner, knowing case law will help. The code of law under which the case law you want to learn is 42 U.S.C. Section1983 of the United States Government code. This is federal, because it pertains to your rights as a U.S. citizen. Exercise your rights with CPS, especially Carol Morin and Travis County CPS. They are government, and your Bill of Rights (first ten amendments) applies to all of government. CPS will say they are exempt, because it involves the safety the children and will likely threaten you. But stand strong. Do not waiver on your rights. Always be prepared to video record.

DO NOT fall into the sovereign citizen ideology trap. That's exactly how parents lose their kids. Because CPS can say, "lookie, see, judge, these people are fringe nuts who aren't sane enough to take care of their children (you see this with a lot of people who don't have college educations, and are easily swayed by good arguments on the internet).

Never have a trial before a judge. You have a right to a jury trial in these "dependency" cases. So use it. Never trust this system they are in on it.

Again, if your attorney is Tiffany Crouch, fire her and request another one. If the judge refuses, file a motion for the judge to recuse herself. And make objections on record, and ask the court for documentation that such objections have been made (this will cover you after the judge fails at trying to intimidate you,which judges like Darlene Byrne absolutely will do, because she's also part of the Travis County Pedophile Posse.

You have to work at keeping your kids if they manage to take them. Keep records of everything. I can't stress that enough. Make objections and file them in the court (learn to do this by googling and using ready-made templates as your outline)... And keep records of those objections. You want to file proof along with your objections. If you are unable to do this, ask a friend. You are allowed to do things on your own behalf, pro se.

That sad part is, once your kids are removed, you can't even sue to get them back. And the child can't sue until they're 18-years-old. The vast vast majority of foster kids who had their civil rights violated never sue because they're conditioned to be "pimped out" by the foster system, and they will be told they're parents didn't love them, and won't have the maturity and wherewithal to know that they can actually sue for millions — once they turn 18. And after they turn 18, they only have two years to sue because of the statute of limitations, which means they can file a lawsuit after 2 years, but the court will reject it.

That's the other thing. If you plan on suing them, you have to do it within 2 years of the statute of limitations. So in some cases you may not want to tip your hand that you're planning on suing them,because then they can delay, stall and postpone the case past two years, and they're off the hook of liability. This is why I insist to keep records of EVERYTHING. Not only do you need to know about the statute of limitations, you also have to prove why, how, where, what, when, why your rights were violated. And I guarantee CPS will violate your rights. So nail them on it in federal court with a 1983 lawsuit like I mentioned above.

You can filed your own "complaint" (again, a complaint in legal terms means lawsuit...google it) pro se, as they call it. In federal court, especially if you just want to beat the statute of limitations, often times pro se plaintiffs write their own complaint (doesn't have to have all the legalese) and then a judge has to give them consideration as if they had an attorney.. After you file the complaint pro se, it's usually easier to find a civil rights attorney who'll be willing to take your case. Remember to sue them in their individual capacities and use a previously SUCCESSFUL case as your outline/template and just fill in your own details.

Look into 42 U.S.C. 1983 Monell claims as well. I recommend watching the Nuts and Bolts workshop (free on youtube) by Shawn McMillan.

Stay strong, stay woke, and fight like hell.
