in june 1997 my daughter was taken by social services. in sept 1998 she was returned to me after i filed a complaint with the capitol. I had 4 lawyers during my 15 month war with the system. none of them would really help my daughter and me.. even tho they would say this is obvious a case of prejudice and a power struggle. when i filed the complaint i was advised to drop it many times by both my lawyer and the social services or risk more separation. my complaint was they were working with the foster parents who wanted to adopt my daughter, they were teaching my daughter prejudice by telling her she couldnt have any brown friends. they never showed me a reunification plan, yet constantly made mention of one. they had no respect for my family as i was a single mother who had once been on welfare.. but was at that time working as an engineer. I worked hard for 5 yrs to get to that position. would take pages to tell you all the things they did to me and said about me all of which were not true in the least. there are documents in the social workers own hand writing that proves what i have just said. after i filed the complaint the foster parents who wanted to adopt.. questioned them as to why they were returning my daughter so did the judge... they didnt give any real answer. They gave the foster parents 2 new born babies they could adopt to quiet them and encourage them to release my daughter. at my "fair" hearing they didnt listen to any of my complaint. They ruled they couldnt hear my complaint because there was no finding in my case of guilt or innocent and/or the regulation says i cant discuss the issues of my case at the hearing. It was not discussing issues of my case but violations they had committed against me/ my child/ and our civil rights. This 15 month battle caused me to loose my job. I have my daughter home and we are ok, but for the last 3 years i struggle with no insurance, no secure work and it is the fault of social services mistake they will not admit. Is there any possible way to make them pay for what they did? I realize this is long.. a sincerely appreciate any advice to help find justice for this is a horrible crime. I cant be at peace knowing they harmed us and there is nothing i can do?
