Tidbits on me
I am a single mother, who believes one person can make a difference in shaping the world with the ideas we believe in. I have learned you can’t wait for someone else to “do something” it must start with YOU, with ME. No matter how small, we all have something to contribute.
I have been wrangled into the Family Court system nightmare in Knoxville, TN. I am appalled at the lies and incompetence this agency has been allowed to operate under. I will now fight for reform and accountability in this corrupt system.
Too many families are damaged by incompetent social workers, greedy guardian ad litem’s and lazy Judges, Referee’s. Foster children are killed every day in the US. Because a CPS worker says it’s “in their best interest” to be taken from their home. There needs to be a complete over haul of Children’s Services and the Courts that hear these cases. Our children are the most important thing in the world. Their care and well being should be at the top of everyone’s “to do list”.
All elected officials, at every level, in every State must educate themselves on the problems families face once in “the system”. The financial hardships, unnecessary outdated “classes”, real determent kids must deal with in the aftermath. We must make uniform laws across States, share information and the exchange of ideas. The veil of “secrecy” must be ripped away. It is not for families anonymity, it keeps those who fail these kids protected.
We must make sweeping changes, start to focus on ways to support and strengthen families, removal should be last option not first. Parents must be involved at every level. When I hear about big lawsuits or new “committees” to study family issues, it seems every one forgets to include the family. There should be a we are ALL working together, not an Us vs Them attitude. When there is “real” abuse, trials should be fair and swift. Long terms served for convictions for crimes against kids. It is our job to make sure these issues are addressed and kept on the forefront EVERY DAY.
I do believe like any other job, there are good social workers, and guardian ad litem’s. I just haven’t ran into any of them yet. But for those who do care, you must speak up and call for change. Tell your Legislatures, media and officials what you need to do your job. I would gladly love to work with any one who has ideas, time, money, or just the common goal of creating a system to protect those who really need protection BUT assist and protect the rights of those who don’t. Too many false accusations and unfounded claims are allowed in Social Service reports and Juvenile Court records.
My daughter is now 5 years old and she has been given to her father, an abusive ex. No one has provided for her safety or care. They made their decisions based on lies, opinions and laziness. No FACTS, NO LAWS. I will not end up one of those parents on TV who lost their child due to some one elses greed and incompetence.
Bella, Your Mother is fighting for you and will never give up.

TOPIC: MEDIATOR GONE WRONG
Hello,
I am in Northern California; Solano County. I have now encountered 3 women including myself, in town who were dedicated moms, one is a police and community services officer; who has had the same mediator as I and had their visitation time set at 20% or less to none. No reason for it. He got let go from the court system last summer but his decision lives on and perpetuated some nasty parental alienation syndrome for all of us. how can i find out from the court; his track record and reason for being let go. my tax money paid for this mediator; it seems i should have access to his information. How can I take action here? how come i cannot find out about how to take action against faulty court mediation on the internet? the searches result in the opposite: actions against the citizen on behalf of the court. spoooky. what kind of attorney could take action against court system failures like biased and “against women” mediators. we all three had the same experiences; i have kept their numbers. A movie needs to come out on this phenomenon, research needs to be done. it is horrible.
Alison
My name is chrystan. I am wanting to adopt my cousin whose been in states custody since 2003. They kept telling me that they wanting to keep him with his siblings, and now i find out they are seperated anyways. I beg and plead for the department of childrens services to let me adopt him because i can offer him a good loving home.
I pray that you do get your daughter back!
God Bless!
Does your daughter have an atoorney at litem, a CASA or a GAL? Depending on the state law, she should have one or more of these. These people will represent your daughter’s best interest zas opposed to the “system”.
Hope this helps. Sara, CASA volunteer in GA>

My husband and I are going through a dcs nightmare right now over false accusations and we are interested in any knowledge of dcs “policies and procedures” that they do not post on their perfect websites. We need tangible proof. As you may have felt yourself, I do not feel comfortable at this time leaving personal info here. We are still at the beginning and our children are still at home.

Family Court Reform:
http://familycourtactivists.ning.com/
just joined other website. left you a message. look forward to hearing from you.
We have a real big problem in East TN, with a Chancellor over family court, District 1, Johnson County TN. This man, Richard Johnson, is very biased against parents that live in another state, It is common knowledge amoung the attorneys in the area. He ignores evidence and will award custody of a child because he ” just hates to give a child up out of his jurisdiction”, yes he said it while in court! He ruled infavor of a local man, who has a drug record, no job, 33 years old and doesnt own one single thing.This mans mother admitted while under oath that he “has problems keeping a job, problems with drugs, and was fired from his last job for drug use”. This man has had 7 jobs in less than a year! The Judge ruled against the mother, who has NO record, has had the same job for 2 years, BUT she lives out of state! Imagine that! Thats the justice system in Mountain City TN for ya!
You are not alone in this. My husband and I lost our children due to lies also and not one stated fact. Unless you count the CPS letter that said all abuse charges against me were unfounded. While waiting outside with the other witnesses, they were sharing testimony with each other and telling each other what to say (the exes sided) and even told the kids what to say and what they were going to get them for saying my husband and I were mean to them. The judge put in our papers that kids do not lie. Ummm yeah I know better and have seen it often with teenagers to get what they want which in this case was the freedom to run wild and have no chores. The judge never had me testify nor met me but yet the papers paint a monster out and say that I am depressed and miserable. The main reason they took the kids was because the judge said I had unresolved grief. Part of that statement was true because I lost my son 3 years ago. 2 months after he died I was barraged by CPS, counselors, and litigation starting about how I was a monster and awful. CPS unfounded the case but it took 3 1/2 years to get it to court. During all this the kids lived here and were doing great. With no guardian ad litem or anything the judge determined that it was not a good place for them and immediately removed custody. The other side perjured themselves on a few accounts in the hearing and he let it go. And yes, I am talking about the great Chancellor Johnson here. How can a judge not hear both sides and make a fair ruling is beyond me. Everyone we know is shocked and appalled about this decision but we are now broke from 3 1/2 years of fighting and delays to have the end result come out unfair and unfounded. I run a childcare and work for teachers who have been here for 7 plus years and have done this for 14 years now. I served on the Governors Board here for two terms, worked with our state senator, and have won many awards in the childcare field as well volunteering for CASA. None of this was heard because he didn’t want to hear it and refused to allow me to testify at the last minute. He refused to look at our photos that we brought in that would have showed him children having fun and who were happy. So, now I sit with a set of papers that paint me out to be a monster and of all things we got the worst visitation ever and the ex won’t even bring them. We have not seen them since before Thanksgiving and no one seems to care as long as the child support gets paid. I am upset, hurt, and very disallussioned with our legal system and would love to know where to fight for changes in the law and fairness.
The Johnson County saga continues. When I first wrote on here in November things were very upsetting. Since then they have become a nightmare! The ex,that was awarded custody by Chancellor Johnson, now is being investigated for “dating” underage girls and providing them with illegal drugs. There are PICTURES that prove the allegations, some in a sexual nature with a 15 YEAR OLD GIRL!! My ex is a 34 year old man. STILL the court system will not hear any evidence, and rule on any new decisions. Richard Johnson is going to continue to ignore facts and evidence and continue to put my child in danger. **Note** My ex has a drug record, no job, and dating a 15 year old girl, BUT “he is a fit parent”…?????????
I have no record, work,pay taxes, but simply live out of state and Richard Johnson does not want to give up jurisdiction over a TN child! Whats wrong with this picture???
Attorney willing to help those who have been hurt by DCS please contact me at 901-644-8366
If you believe Chancellor Johnson of East Tennessee is not performing his judgeship as he should there a form you can fill out and the Tennessee court of Judiciary will look into the matter .

My daughter was taken from me as well by a corrupt juvie system in Knox co. tn. I did get her back , but, went broke doind so. I, believe it or not, am still fighting this system.I was ordered to pay a court appointed GAL for her services. There was not a contract signed and she slandered me and tried her best to get my daughter to her mother after she was proven to not be a good parent as I was. I am paying this GAL for rail roading me. I am looking for an atty. that will help with this but it seems no one wants to take on a corrupt GAL much less the Juvie court system.If you would like me to help you and vise versa please please contact me.
My ex-wife of 4 years now has made bogus claims of child abuse on me. I have full custody of the kids with her only having supervised visits. Three days after she made these claims and filed a report she went back and asked to have the petition for custody dropped. She’s mentally unstable. The case worker said since the allegations were quite serious he still has to appoint a Guardian ad Litem. The case worker told me that he told the Guardian about my wife wanting to dismiss charges and the Guardian will take note of that. Will I be stuck with the bill from the Guardian ad Litem? I did nothing wrong, I know that for a fact and I’m not worried about the investigation…just a pissed off ex-wife who made up lies. But it would be a shame I’m stuck with this bill…if there is one. And a bigger shame is that my kids will have to talk to someone about bogus claims their mother made up.
It is absolutely horrible here in the state of Tennessee ang Governor Bredesen will not do a thing about it. I recently learned of a situation (I am in my own legal mess) where a man has obviously been set up by his exwife, there has been blatant brainwashing going on, and the man’s exwife’s new spouse has a long family history of child abuse and sexual molestation, yet he won’t even be considered. Ridiculous!
