Fighting CPS
8/26/2012 12:41:26 PM
The purpose of this blog is to provide updates on some of the cases I reported in my book (Fighting CPS: Guilty Until Proven Innocent of Child Protective Services Charges ISBN 9-780-9800061-6-2) that had not been resolved when the book went to press, and to report other cases where CPS is not working up to par. I’d also like to hear about cases in which Child Protective Services did the right thing so those cases can serve as examples of what should be done. Occasionally, I will report helpful tips and web sites with advice on fighting CPS.

More Helpful Web Sites:
Since meeting Cheryl Carlson, an RN who has been involved with CPS in many ways, during a book signing in a Houston Kroger store, she has passed along much helpful information. Here is one of the web sites she recommends, and an excerpt from a magazine article she found on line:
www.youthtoday.org This web site is loaded with very useful information. I’ve copy/pasted their general information and hope my readers will visit the site and read more thoroughly:
