Please help me! My name is Kristen. I am a 35 year old mother of two little boys who are my life, Treazure, 7 and J'adore 5. I am humbly coming before you with a desperate mothers plea for help! A mothers love is a force to be reckoned with. It is a powerful energy that radiates throughout her soul. It is incomparable, larger than life, limitless, relentless, natural, protective, unconditional, forever and true. Firstly, I am so thankful for this opportunity through change.org. I am relieved to know that there is a voice for people like me and the children that are effected by this horrible nightmare. We are here in Riverside County California alone fighting a huge battle with what seems like no way to defeat such a terrifying , evil, powerful enemy. I am currently battling Cps to get my kids back. They were taken due to hearsay and they have a cruel 12 month time limit that has been reached for reunification. I am down to very little time to fight.. and no one with a voice or the power to help my situation or to review and hear my case. They were also forced to have visits with a known abuser that was an escaped inmate on the run for domestic battery charges and this is the person that they were with when they were put into custody. Their Father. It took him less than 24 hours to pull off his plan. He flew in from California to Kansas and without my knowledge or concent took them from his Mother in Kansas and flew them instantly back to California with my boys again without my permission, concent or my knowledge. He was able to do this with ease since he got them from his Mothers home in Wichita, Ks. They were 2 hours away from our own home in Topeka, Ks with her and were only suppose to be staying for a short visit to spend time with their paternal family coming from all over to attend a funeral. It was their Dads youngest sister that passed away from Luekemia at 24. She was My baby boys favorite Aunt. I was alarmed when their Grandma was late to return them and did not answer my calls, so I filed a report with the missing and abducted child unit. They put out an attempt to locate on my children. I have the case number that proves that I tried to protect them from the circumstances that had them removed from their father. So unbenounced to me this woman, my boys Grandmother, allowed him to use these sad circumstances to get our boys. He only did it to manipulate me to come back to him. It was a control issue because he was an abuser and thats what they do, and thats why I left him long before this. I wanted better for my kids. We were all progressing in therapy and feeling a new sense of well being and overall joy and happiness since our spilt. My boys were in school in Topeka 501 school district and doing well until that day. Treazure in Kindergarten and J'adore in Head Start. I filed the necessary police reports to protect them from what the CPS in California said they had to take them away from him for or to protect them from. I couldnt press charges on him because he is the Father but the police did ask if I wanted to press charges on the Grandma and regretfully I declined. She was aware of the dangers and his criminal history and fugitive warrants and still made a very bad choice to let them go but thats the past I forgive. I am only telling you all this because its just how it occured and I want to paint a very clear picture so there is little left to question. The police said they would notify the California authorities to go check on my babies since they made it on the plane despite the fact that I was instucted by the Detective to notify the Airports and give descriptions to keep them from being able to board any plane. Those were only vain attempts that got us no where but to the place we are now still.. Riverside. Next thing you know I am recieving a phone call with CPS in CA saying they have my kids. I flew straight to Cali from KS and was refused the right to take my kids home due to the false info the kids Dad volunteered them at first but then denied. Then they shamefully used the fact that he used to be abusive in our past 7 year relationship and questioned my reasoning and judgements and said it was disturbing I stayed with him that long.. not mentioning the fact that I LEFT HIM over 4 months prior to this incident. That is how it all occured and came to be. There you have it. Thats just the beginning of the story of the day my kids initially were legally KIDNAPPED by Child Protective Services. (CPS) My boys are so little and still have so many endless possibilities for who they an become. They have always been so full of energy and life. They are joyful and funny, helpful, caring, smart, creative and have so much potential. I dont want them to lose who they are or lose that happy joy inside due to such a deeply troubling situation. They just want to come home. They're so afraid and Im honestly terrified too. I worry constantly about them. No one has there best interest at heart like I do. They have had a severe change in behavior all together and are already displaying symptoms of PTSD and depression because of this and are being moved from foster home to foster home due to their acting out because they are so hurt, afraid and just want me, their Mother and family. Now the nightmare just turned even more unbearable as I found out yesterday they just SEPERATED my two baby boys. I am being denied my phone calls and did not got my visitations for over two months! My seven year old is being discriminated against and emotionally abused on top of everything else. I have many voice recordings of the traumatic seperations and phone calls with my kids begging, screaming and pleading to come home with me as our vivit ends. They cry and cry. Its heartwrenching, almost unbearable. No one who has not been convicted of a crime should have to face such a thing. The social workers LIE IN DOCUMENTS AND MAKE THINGS UP, TWIST THE TRUTH and perjur themselves. They neglect our childrens medical needs and if a parent did such things they would be charged. My 7 year old says he was molested while under their care. The Foster Mom reporting and checking into the allegations was told her only job is to take care of the kids and there was never and investigation. I was told my son was lying by the social worker and I know kids do not make these kind of things up and they did not follow up the accusation with the proper procedures. They have neglected to treat my youngest boys ASTHMA and have yet to provide him with his nebulizer or albuteral. Asthma is a life threatening condition. They have denied both my boys their medications they need. When I see my boys they are sick, pale, and skinny. Their skin is dry. I have provided clothing, shoes and their meds but they do not give thm their meds as they say they have them on a list to be assessed. My youngest has not recieved his much needed glasses. He has severe astigmatism and the optomitrist said he has to wear his corrective lenses or he can lose his sight in his left eye altogether. They lost the pair I furnished in the first foster home. I also have pictures of my youngest boys now second injury that he sustained to his face that has scarred him permenently. This is due to their failure to protect my son while in their care. The first was a dog bite to his cheek, now a burn. The brief run down I was given. He was responsible because he was teasing the foster parents dog, so he got bit. Where Im from if a dog bites a kid like that, in Ks, they will put your dog to sleep. Not saying thats what I would want because that is so not the case. That is not me at all to want anything bad to happen to anyone, not even an animal, but just to stress the facts that they blamed my son for a vicious dog biting a child is my point. The burn I was told was from a hot taco at school. He supposedly squeezed it and the scalding hot insides came bursting out onto his cheek singeing off the skin. Will someone please tell me when they started serving piping hot food to Kindergarteners? I am sorry. I know better, I am a Mom first of all and have been for too long and secondly I was a Para in a 1st grade classroom at an Elementary School to get my Child Care Certification years ago.. so Im more than familiar with the usually lukewarm/somewhat cold lunches. (I am also a RMA, Plebotomist, CNA, HHA, and a Cosmetologist.. so I may have more training then most social workers, especially in the medical field, which is also mental illness.) I am stressed out wondering what could happen next. I have bad dreams and some anxiety just waiting, longing and praying for the day my babies are returned to me. That is when I can sleep and relax when they are safe in Mamas arms again. I WOULD NEVER LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO MY KIDS! THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT, SCARRED, MOLESTED, NEGLECTED AND DENIED THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENT AND MEDICATIONS IN MY CARE! SO WHO ARE THEY REALLY PROTECTING IN THIS CASE.. NOBODY! They have done way more harm then good to all but maybe their bank accounts. Since I am a resident of the state of Kansas I had to go through a lengthy state interstate compact process to get my kids back to Ks. California granted Kansas jurisdiction to monitor me, and then my children returned to Kansas after one very long year. They returned to be two very different children, and me a frail version of what I once was. I had encountered even more issues throughout this ordeal of our separation and was struggling to pick up the pieces but as always bouncing back.  We were all in therapy to process our experience. We all were happy to be reunited, me with them, them with us. (They have brothers and sisters. I have two older children/teens also,a son Isaiah, 19, and a daughter Desire, 16, that have been affected by this terrible tradgedy as well and many cousins also) We were all together again. The boys finally home welcomed with open arms and tons of love, reunited with their siblings, and family, now beginning the healing process. There were 3 unsubstantiated reports made and my bad judgment that lead me to curse at a rude Kansas CPS worker that came investigating a false report/call. This was the event that unfortunately I am paying dearly but not fairly nor justly for. (DUE TO HARRASSMENT! I HAVE PROOF! ALL REPORTS WERE UNSUBSTANTIATED! THAT MEANS THE KANSAS CPS FOUND THE REPORTS TO BE UNTRUE AND FOUND ME NOT GUILTY! I WAS A TARGET OF A HATEFUL/JEALOUS PERSON!) My protective mothering instincts put me on defense facing the constant fear and stress of my children's removal from home. It was overwhelming since the prior incident of removal was such a difficult time. I was doing everything in my power to keep my kids safe with me. This particular day when that social worker came I reacted on impulse asking her to leave my home in a not so friendly tone but within the normal range of voice, and I was not cursing. PLEASE UNDERSTAND! After all I had been through.. it was not the best reaction, but this was all in love for my kids. It stemmed from my passion to keep them away from ever having to hurt like that again. My disrespectful manner was not appreciated and she came back the next day and took my kids from me and sent them back to California saying I was uncooperative. This"gave Kansas the right to send my babies back to California (since I was still being monitered for Ca.) They were still oddly in Californias custody for some reason and now I have been in California fighting ever since. I uprooted and left everything and everyone to be here for them and fight for them. I was coerced by my lawyer to wave my rights to a trial and then in the same breath told my kids were on an list for adoption. The judge then said that me and their father, who are their only blood relatives in this state, besides a paternal Aunt, were facing our rights being severed at the next court date at the end of January. This is horrific! A living nightmare. I am devastated! I am praying for the courage and guidance needed and I am gathering my strength to stand against the enemy. I cant really afford a real good attorney but I have a voice and I want to fight and stop these atrocities. My family back home in Kansas are currently going through the Interstate Compact process to have them returned there where they belong. They were born there and were students there at the time of initial removal when California took jurisdiction over my kids. This must end! I will not just standby and watch this happen. We can make a difference! I am looking to find others victimized by this corrupt court system as well. We have to be there for each other. Not to mention we need an army of soldiers for this battle. Winning a war cannot be done alone. Lets overcome Family Law Court Of Riverside and nationwide and eliminate the criminal conduct of CPS. They are GUILTY of robbing families of one another by KIDNAPPING and TRAFFICKING our kids. Devastating Mothers, Fathers, Children, Siblings, Classmates, and families alike, henceforth, ruining lives. This type of circumstance is not only emotionally draining but also physically exhausting and weakens our body from stress. Our kids aren't getting nurturing or love that makes them thrive or bond with others. Traumatizing and endangering our kids for extra funding incintives is disgusting. The heartless cowards behind the scenes making our kids suffer as we are tormented should be ashamed oif themselves! Know one day you will pay the piper for your deeds. Whatever energy or actions we put out into the universe will come back to you and yours. I dont care what religion you come from or even if there is a lack there of. Stll and yet no matter what anyone may believe, we all have that in common. Whether you want to call it God, like I do, or Karma, or The Law Of Attraction, whatever..  Its all the same.. and its all real.. and I still stand strong my convictions would not allow me to wish this on my enemies, nor would I return the favor and want to call and make reports on those that slandered me. If you dont like someone fine, but do NOT bring innocent children into the picture. That is why it is so important to reform this system. The fact that anyone can just call and make up anything at anytime and that gives these people (CPS) an all access pass to your home, kids and lives is ridiculous and must be done away this. People can be mean and hateful. These type of people that show no regard or compassion for anyone and will pick up a phone and set out to break apart a family is something I personally have no understanding for, but much worse are the ones that come to investigate and violate your life when you didnt even know you did not have to open up your door for them. I want my kids back! I demand it! I want them to start a investigation, so we must band together to gain coverage and publicity to address the issue at hand and get our stories heard! Together lets rise to reform this system and help other affected so all interested please contact me. The social workers who accuse, and form opinions and judgment’s, lie, twist strories, and do not care, period! They recommend placement out of home with no interviews, obervations of time between Mother and child/children, psychological testing or expert knowledge and to top it off they have only 2 months of training for their very important job that entrusts them to make detrimental life altering decisions and are far from truly interested in our well being. They neglect our kids emotional, educational, religious, physical and even their medical needs/medications. Then the worker has the nerve to question their rapidly growing negative behaviors and acting out. Does he really not get it.. Does he really wonder why? My two little precious boys are being continuously moved and bounced around to different foster homes due to there acting out from this unnecessary trauma and my baby boys are not alone. Kids are bounced around so much and due to the overloaded casefiles piled up on the social workers desks it obviously leaves little or no room at all for the actual time and attention that each case and child should be given. This is how kids come up missing daily in this system, and die. These foster kids are at risk more than any child I believe. With all the research and the presentation of facts and other peoples testimony of experiences it is my heartfelt judgement and informed opinion and belief that we must save EVERY kid from this old way of doing things and create a new protective agency the kids in this world that may really need a safe home to be free from abuse and unsavory conditions. A system that is free of corruption and unjust ways and requires more training/college background, reformed in every way. This new system would be most beneficial by making family preservation its goal in every appropriate circumstance thus impacting our society in the very best of ways. We already have witnessed what a fatherless generation will produce. Many more single mothers surfaced over the past few decades and have struggled to do it all alone This may be due to many different factors. Some issues they're definitely facing today are infidelity, the rising divorce rate, people choosing not to marry, incarecerations, war, immorality and just a poor example of what todays man should be when they're are few good male role models. All of this has had its adverse effects. Now just imagine a world coming up with a new generation of all these foster kids who have been ripped away from their loved ones against their will. Then torn apart from their lives and moved around to random strangers. What a scary thought right? Anyone with any background in psychiatry or mental health can tell you that it is a real life scary movie that will be coming soon if we dont stop the wrecking ball from wrecking the precious human beings here on this earth. There are so many innocent children with what could be a bright future ahead of them being stolen from the destiny for their lives. So sad that they are forced to face life alone with the ever changing new familes they dont know or want and have to cope with all the inflicted shattered hopes and dreams of happiness ending only in despair. Who would want that for their child? Not I! The facts are undeniably ugly and sad, and research shows that most kids involved in this type of situation end up statistically in huge numbers to be homeless, have trouble with the law, having more instances of suicide and depression, etc..  Yes some kids truly need protection, and have bad family life situations however with my research I find this is hardly the case. Rehabilitation of familes should always be number one anyway, not seperation!
 Kids are lost, beaten and die in this system. The secrecy of Family Law Court prevents you from speaking in court or from anyone else to come into the courthouse but the parents. They sever rights with no jury trial! In these court systems, referred to by many in this movement as "The Child Kidnapping Assosiation." which consists of mainly the Judges and Social workers, (but also your attorney, and the childs atty: i.e.; Guardian Ad Litem) are known to receive big bonuses for each child they keep in Foster Care. They are given even more money if they push for and get a child put up for adoption. The foster parent gets more cash for having a child with a disability. This includes depression and ADHD! So now you see? We have a connection to big Pharma as well. The drugging of these children is so common and so disturbing. This must be stopped. Judge Jacqueline Jackson referred to us running out of time as winding down in a tone that was so unsettling I can hear her every day and I’m terrified as we draw near to their deadline. Who are these monsters in positions of power and authority that rob the poor of their right to pursue their happy lives to be free from emotional distress? This crisis is an national emergency! RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT THE LARGEST GROUP OF PEOPLE TARGETED ARE LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY FAMILIES! These are the families that sadly are unable to afford proper counsel and unaware of their rights as I once was. It Is too late for the damage to be reversed unfortunately, but time mends most wounds and OUR LIVES CAN BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN JUSTICE IS FINALLY SERVED AND OUR FAMILIES ARE REUNITED TO BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS! I know If we fight this together all who are responsible that need to face their actions and be held accountable will face the music and will have their day. Unspeakable tragedy's have emerged from these heartless acts. FACT: Children in Foster Care are 6 times more likely to be abused, molested, raped, murdered, and destroyed then they ever would be in their natural home environments. It happens so much more than you would ever even imagine. The proof and hellish stories are never ending. The dark result of what they inflicted upon others should be carefully methodically incorporated into a plan to rise above them together as a beacon of light to shine upon the many families torn apart senselessly and so carelessly.
 Cause: INVESTIGATE AND STOP CPS CORRUPTION! WE DEMAND THAT OUR CHILDREN BE RETURNED HOME TO THEIR RESPECTIVE, SAFE, LOVING, NON ABUSIVE, PROTECTIVE PARENTS. /AUDIT CPS/CPS REFORM /STOP THE SECRECY OF FAMILY LAW COURT/ MANDATORY JURY TRIALS TO DETERMINE THE SEVERENCE OF PARENTAL RIGHTS/NO MORE TIME LIMITS FOR FAMILIES TO GET THEIR KIDS BACK/ ****ALSO BRANCHING TOGETHER TO UNITE A GROUP OF VICTIMS TO FIGHT/POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION STATE/FEDERAL LAWSUITS FOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. (KIDS HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS TOO!) REPERATIONS ARE DUE! JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED! WE ALSO NEED MORE SPECIAL FAMILY REHABILITATION SUPPORT GROUPS AND AFTER TRAUMA CARE. THIS IS A DEADLY EPIDEMIC FOR OUR SOCIETY A NATIONAL THREAT TO OUR WELL BEING! THIS MEANS IT IS DIRE THAT WE MUST HAVE MORE EMERGENCY SEPERATION SUPPORT SERVICES AND THERAPY/MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN PLACE AND TRAINED TO HELP REBUILD BROKEN HEARTS AND FAMILES! "Healing and mending broken hearts and homes and restoring our sacred family unit to the secure and most highly valued position it deserves." Destruction is the end result of the breaking apart of family, the most honored and treasured stable foundation we all will ever be blessed with. If this is allowed to continue unresolved and unchallenged we will succumb to accepting a new modern day slavery. History shows the extent of mans greed has always been an factor in devastation of our people over time. Who will stand beside me and all victims in the name of what is good and save our helpless children. We have a duty to overthrow the authority's in power who are involved with using our little angels as pawn for their selfish gain! A song comes to my mind when I think about our duty to protect, care for and love our kids.  "Jesus Loves Me" is the song I am speaking of which is a simple Hymn from my childhood. This is one of the songs that my Mother used to sing to me when I was a child, and I in turn sang it to all my children as well. To me it says it all and says it best in its reference to the little children.. "they are weak but he is strong!" SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO BE STRONG FOR THEM! THEY ARE WEAKER THAN WE ARE. CHILDREN ARE OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE. KIDS ARE SO CUTE AND SWEET, YET THEY'RE DELICATE, VULNERABLE AND NIEVE, BUT LUCKILY ALSO PEFECTLY BLIND AND OBLIVIOUS TO THE FOULNESS AND HIDEOUS TRUTHS ABOUT THIS WORLD. SOME DAYS I MISS THAT CAREFREE, BUOYANT, EASY FEELING. CAN YOU PICTURE A CHILDHOOD WITHOUT THAT CHEERY CONTENTMENT? FOR A MOMENT PLEASE JUST IMAGINE INSTEAD THAT YOU'VE REPLACED THAT JUBILENT, LIGHTHEARTED JOVIALNESS FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD WITH GLOOM, TERROR, AND DISMAY. OK, WELL IM SURE SOME OF YOU ALREADY SEE MY POINT. NOT A GOOD FEELING RIGHT? UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS THE REALITY FOR MY KIDS AND SO MANY OTHERS IN THIS SYSTEM.. AND ITS NOT RIGHT! WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD? ARE WE SO HUNGRY FOR MONEY AND WHATEVER IT CAN BUY WE HAVE LOST OURSELVES AND ALL OUR MORALS AND VALUES AND OUR COMPASSION TO CARE HAS BEEN BOUGHT AT A PRICE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AND THROWN OUT LIKE TRASH? FIND YOURSELVES PLEASE IF YOU ARE ONE STRUGGLING TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS THROUGH FINANCIAL GAIN. LOOK DEEP INSIDE AND SEE ALL THAT IS IRRELEVANT. ANYONE CAN HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO? WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE OTHER THAN YOU DIED WITH A LOT OF MONEY IN THE BANK. PERSONALLY I WOULD RATHER BE POOR AND RICH IN MY HEART AND SPIRIT. MY KIDS HAVE ALREADY LEARNED ALL ABOUT LOVING ONE ANOTHER AND BEING GOOD PEOPLE THAT TREAT ONE ANOTHER WITH RESPECT SO THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES!SO YOU THAT ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, THE CROOKED CPS WORKERS AND THE CROOKED JUDGES WE DREAD MAYBE YOU ACTUALLY SHOULD WISH THEIR WERE MORE MOTHERS LIKE ME INSTEAD OF TAKING OUR KIDS AND DEMOLOSHING OUR HEARTS JUST BEACAUSE WE HAVE ONE AND WE CARE. WITH THAT BEING SAID I AM PLEASED AND RELIEVED THOUGH WHEN I REMEMBER HOW CHILDREN ARE AS BEAUTIFULLY RESILIENT AS THE SUN IS EACH AND EVERYDAY! OUR SONG WILL BE HEARD! PLEASE STAND UP WITH ME AND FIGHT HARD FOR OUR KIDS AND FAMILES! LETS FINISH THE LATE SENATOR NANCY SCHAFFERS MISSION TO STOP THE OLD WAY OF DOING THINGS AND SHUT DOWN CPS AND REFORM IT COMPLETELY! WE THE PEOPLE MUST LET THEM KNOW WE ARE HERE WATCHING AND WE WANT CHANGE ASAP! WE ARE THE VOICES FOR THE CHILDREN THAT ARE UNABLE TO BE HEARD! HELP US HELP THEM!! PLEASE!! Thank you! God bless! **I have started my petition thanks to change.org to not only fight back for my family but for all who are going through this crisis. I created it to use as a tool to conquer our children's predators. If you would take a moment and kindly sign it or send it to others I would be grateful. You will have been a enormous blessing in our lives and to all. Thanks again. I am thankful again for your efforts in this battle at hand and thankful also for your time. Please don't forget us or our cries. We need you and you need us to be bigger than them. I have Faith in us! http://chn.ge/144u6Wa Sincerely, A voice from the wilderness, Kristen Centlivre (785)408-9121/kristenmarie1129@gmail.com.  IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR STORY AND WANT TO JOIN CLASS ACTION SUIT LET US KNOW ASAP!!
