  • CPS – The Current Plight of Michigan’s Families

    A recent investigative journalism piece published by the Lansing State Journal did an admirable job of shedding light on the struggle that many families face when CPS becomes involved in their lives.

  • CPS Takes “Micro-Baby”, Cites Mom’s Apnea As Reason

    Ryker James LaRoy McEvers was born 14 weeks early, weighing only 1 pound, and is something of a miracle.

  • Will CPS Take Kids From Flint Families Without Water?

    A while back, during the earlier part of the media uproar surrounding the Flint water crisis, claims began to circulate on the internet. Claims that CPS was going to be taking children away from Flint parents because they had chosen not to pay for their poisonous, lead-loaded water, which they couldn’t safely use to begin…

  • Did CPS “Medically Kidnap” a 17-Year-Old From Her Mother?

    Rebecca Campos’ Christmas tree is still up. The gifts are still under the tree, waiting to be opened.

  • Is CPS Software Finally On The Mend?

But they claim to have made some serious headway in recent months. So, at this point we can only wonder, is…

  • Do Water Shut Offs Mean CPS Can Take Your Children Away?

    The city of Flint has a long history of bad press, and the recent problems with the water rates have done little to help that problem.

  • Can improperly installed car seats bring CPS to your door?

    It sounds ludicrous, right? That the state would investigate a parent even when that mom or dad thought their child’s car seat was properly installed, but it actually wasn’t? Well, the truth is, while CPS certainly isn’t going to go door to door, asking to view your car seat installation techniques, they can get involved…

  • CPS Investigating Toddler Found on Street at Midnight

    When police are contacted about a suspicious or strange situation involving a child, especially one where there is no obvious crime for them to pursue, they call in CPS. This way, they can turn over the investigation to an agency whose sole focus is investigating allegations of abuse and neglect. It also allows them to…

  • Does CPS Have a History With Traverse City’s Murder-Suicide Family?

    On the 13th of August, MSP Troopers found four bodies inside a home in Garfield Township. A couple and their two children, dead in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide. But as the investigation unfolds, it seems there are more questions than answers.   According to the Michigan State Police  , they are currently looking…

  • A Positive Change After Maryland’s ‘Free Range’ Parenting Issue

    Sometimes, when a government agency does something so ludicrous, and so invasive, it is only the media storm and public outcry that forces the hand of change. Which is why, when the the two Meitiv children, aged 10 and 6, were taken by police and held for hours simply because they walked home unattended from…
