That last comment should be the top advice given to any parent in the United States these days, because of some of the crazy legislation that is making its way through the state houses. "You need to know your rights better than they do." Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Repeat again.
The problem with knowing your rights is much of the information is hidden and difficult to find until you're in the thick of it.... policies, procedures and statues can be monumental to conceptualize. Even for seasoned law firms. I think legislation needs to be reduced and converted to a form the general layman can interpret and understand.
These proceedings completely circumvent all of the values of American jurisprudence. Due process, presumption of innocence, right to confront your accuser, Habeus corpus, standards of evidence, right to jury trial, it’s all gone when cps comes into your life
The new law requires CPS to read you the Miranda rights at first contact, but these “rights” were in place prior to the new law requiring verbal and written notice of these rights, correct?
remember your right to defend yourself, and your kids, over rule any and all laws, no exception. you have no obligations to be their victims. no exception.
You also have the privilege of the government ending your existence and brainwashing your parentless kids... They'll bring every resource they have against you... trust me
What good are rights if you don't have the ability to exercise them? Lawyers are out of reach from a cost standpoint for the majority of the population. Most lawyers won't even act until proceedings in court are initiated. Also have you ever tried to find a lawyer who will accept a case involving CPS?

Great info … I’m in Texas please make a video pros an cons of cps jury trial an what to expect because unfortunately there are too many corrupt or judges that just don’t really care … I would never recommend judge trial
The child was taken away from the home by CPS. Few days after we visited the child. The child has visible marks like bruises, bite marks and scratches. What should I do?
Get an attorney ASAP. File to get custody, guardianship of the child, request all information on the case. Word to the wise if you feel the attorney isn't doing you justice fire them and get another one.
I updated the Title to make it clearer that it is a Texas law. However, many states adopt Texas practices after implementation, so I'm praying this is one that gets wider adoption.
@@xephael3485 Your right to refuse to incriminate yourself is not limited to police interactions. Your right to refuse to consent to searches of your home is not limited to police searches. The relevant amendments enumerating your rights extend to all levels of the government.
I have temporarily custody of my grandchild. CPS request a subpoena of the birth certificate. What on earth for? I'm fighting a terrible system here in NYC.
Trying to figure out who the father is? Or they have actual legal custody and your just "babysitting" for the department? Or they're getting everything ready to take custody? Those are what came to mind.
I had custody. CPS took him, immediate removal, imminent danger. CASA came later on in the case and asked why? Nobody really knew the answer. She said you just opened yourself up to a rights lawsuit. We are not worried. She can't afford an attorney anyway. She has a n appointed attorney sitting right there and she said and did nothing. The get paid good federal $$$ to take and adopt kids. Legalized child trafficking. TX gets millions a year from the Fed to do this.
Check your state laws, but your child may also qualify for their own separate legal representation, and /or a CASA worker for the child, which you likely can request from the court.
Well, Texas just put these rights into law, but there is an argument that these rights apply across the country since most of them arise out of rights protected by the Constitution.
Claim it was signed under duress and attempt to fight it in court? I'm not sure from your short explanation. Always be careful before you sign anything
This happened to my daughter she was forced to voluntarily give up her parental rights or they were going to be terminated against her will. Unreal. CYS in Pennsylvania screwed my daughter. Those kids were never abused or neglected there's money an adoptions.
They just terminated my rights and didn’t give me a fair trial because I was threatened to be taken to jail for 14 year old speeding tickets. In another county… so I walked out of the courthouse before the officer arrested me. But I did not get to attend my trial
Unfortunately, I don't know that they do. However, there is a strong argument that all of these rights that must be read by CPS are in fact pre-existing rights that are already protected by the Constitution.
Mathew, I have a neighbor who has been blasting music and have loud parties until past 2am. Their noises audible throughout my house. The cops can’t do anything about it. Even though we have “quiet hours” in my city which is from 10pm to 7am. What can we do? What does it mean by quiet hours? I can’t even sleep in my own house. What are the best ways to take evidence? Where do we go for help? Thanks
I'm not sure what state you're in, but you could file suit against a noisy neighbor in Texas for violation of the Disorderly Conduct statute as a nuisance. If you're in Texas, you should inform the police officer that the conduct is disorderly if the noise exceeds 85 decibels after being warned. If you're not in Texas, your state laws may offer something similar in the Disorderly Conduct statute. You might also contact the landlord of that property if they are renters. You should definitely invest $53.00 in a Decibel Meter (I'll post an Amazon link) and begin a daily journal with readings both inside your house and outside your house during these parties. www.amazon.com/VLIKE-Digital-Measurement-Measuring-Function/dp/B01N2RLJ32
Yes I am in Cedar Park, I can’t believe you give such a lengthy response ❤. I have been fighting this thing for years. The city Council does not understand the pain of lying in beds for 8 hours and not able to sleep.
ALWAYS ignore them, yes tell them you are answering no questions to begin with but after that do not communicate with them. It's their job to prove you're guilty, its not your job to prove you're innocent. If you talk to them they will make things up to get you for by using anything you tell them against you. To them you are guilty until proven innocent. (From someone with real world experience on the matter who isn't trying to sell you themselves)
CPS is not law enforcement. I think it is likely that if you refuse to cooperate at all it is far more likely the children will be removed faster for the sake of the children. While I agree we need rules and we need honest case workers. I also agree if you are criminally at risk you should not offer any information. As a society lets think about the chidren. If they are in danger they come first. If u dont answer now you may have to answer later in order to get your kids back later.
Is this for all 50 states? My daughter was forced to voluntarily give up her parental rights or they were going to be terminated for her. CYS in Pennsylvania's reason...time. it took her too long to get her stuff together but she did. Finished everything that was required of her and if she would have done nothing or everything the outcome still would have been the same. What hope does this give people? We never wanted this or expected this we thought the kids were going to be coming home one day soon. Taking the kids was wrong. There's money in adoptions. The kids want to come home.
This is a Texas-specific law, though I think most of these rights are backed in constitutional principles. Did you happen to see our video on How to Answer CPS Questions? The first line of defense is the front door and too many parents just give up at that point. CPS is an evil machine.
Have you heard about the recent law passed in Texas that makes it much harder to remove the child? The child has to be in immanent danger, they can’t just remove for marijuana use, you can’t make anonymous reports anymore etc… Texas is really getting on board!!!!
They kidnapped my infant grandson and parents surrendered him at birth to me because they were not fit I was fully bonded with him the social worker submitted to the court perjury to deny me they did not follow policy and procedure RICO KIDS FOR CASH
my rights were not read to me by neighter of the cps investergaters my child was removed because i she got mad at me but she sad cause my child had rotten teeth but it was cavities not like she wrote

My cps case is closed. My caseworker referred me to do parenting classes. Is it MANDATORY???
Not if your case is closed. They may still check if your in the class if you don't revoke your release.
When you literally have to pass a law so that they have to do their job properly.
What good are rights if you don't have the ability to exercise them? Lawyers are out of reach from a cost standpoint for the majority of the population.

Invoke the "necessary and proper clause" if someone tresspasses on your domestic authority without a warrant and a bond.
what is that?
