OK, i live in Indiana and similarly to the TN DCS case on a previous thread, my son was wrongfully taken in 2005.
DCS never had a case against me in the first place, since my son was taken due to "Facing Homelessness and having emotional issues" NOT Because of abuse or neglect or any of the other typical issues. Well, they dragged the case on and on, trying desperately to prove something, ANYTHING, and even got the foster mother involved in their vindictive and malicious game by having me repeatedly thrown in jail because she had taken out PO's against me for the sole purpose of shutting me OUT of the life of my son, because she had developed a "Sweetie-Darling" relationship with DCS who was paying her to keep my son and all the while he was the only person receiving services, while i was left to my own devices because there was only ever one referral made for me to receive counselling services.
No attorney, (court-appointed) ever lifted a finger to defend the fact that the case was baseless, and without merit, and my son should have been returned to in late 2007, since the initial petition to terminate my rights was dismissed as being not in the best interest of my son. Let me point out right quick that Captain Kangaroo, the judge, at no time decided he was going to follow the Indiana rules of court, as i have discovered, much to my aggravation!!
The judge FINALLY, In late 2007 opened the door for me to actually spend time with my son. Let me point out that during the preceeding 2.5 years, my visitation with him could only be described as "Sporadic" at best, (see Indiana Parenting time guidelines); and this was deliberate and intentional, because, as i have stated, the foster mother did not care for me one bit and SHE wanted my son, and she even went around telling people that "There is NO WAY IN H**** that she is ever going to get her son back" so when i finally got to spend time with my son, DCS decided to do everything they could to make it impossible for me to parent my son or even to have any kind of meaningful visitation or relationship with him and he was never returned to my custody at any time.
Well, apparently DCS and the CASA/GAL decided that she was going to get her way. I would also like to point out that this Foster mother's daddy worked for the city in which we reside and she has significant political ties to the government in this county. She also formed a strong friendship with the CASA who had a very obvious dislike for me, never had any type of meaningful conversation with me and took me to court;
Are you ready for this??? For 'Week-Old-Brownies" that my son and i had made on a visit to my apartment and the judge actually allowed this frivolous litigation to be heard in his Kangaroo court. This is a prime example of how desperate DCS was to make their case.
Well, the CASA was furious at me for slamming my apartment door in her face after her frivolous litigation and decided she was going to terminate my parental rights, which is retaliatory and vindictive.
Let me point out that i only ever made a "No-fault" admission that my son needed SERVICES, it was never found that i had ever been abusive, neglectful or unfit or incapable of parenting my son,and when they had this ridiculous excuse for a trial, not one of the witnesses i had requested to be subpoenaed even received so much as a notice from the court. THe trial attorney did Very little to prepare any kind of meaningful representation, never discussed his strategy with me, did not depose me or any of my witnesses, did not file any motions for discovery, did not defend me, or do anything to refute the allegations in the petition, which were entirely baseless, since it was malicious litigation on the CASA/Gal's part, or do anything that would even remotely resemble meaningful representation. He told me he was going to "Rest" after about 2 days of DCS and their contractors giving "Testimony" that was completely unsupported or unsubstantiated and did not prove the elements of IN code 31-35-2-4.
However, it is my belief that the judge and DCS simply grew tired of dealing with me and entered a very erroneous judgement/order "Terminating" my parental rights without even following the Indiana Trial rules that says i SHALL Have the opportunity to testify and give recommendations to the court and to refute the allegations, etc..........
Then i was told there would be an appeal. So there i was, Distraught over this situation, and i was given the name of an appellate attorney, who also did absolutely nothing to defend the fact that DCS never had a case against me in the first place, and proved nothing in the "Trial" in the Kangaroo court!! Well, the appellate court did not make any kind of "Meaningful review" of the information that was submitted AND the appellate attorney did an about face on me, and committed perjury, which i can prove. So, this wrongful termination was "Affirmed" in April, 2009, which absolutely floored me, because i was SURE that the judges would see that there is no basis to terminate my parental rights and there never has been.
Now i am thinking i need to get this before the Supreme Court to have it reversed/vacated and remanded for a real, meaningful trial and i have numerous elements that i have come up with and would be happy to share upon request.
Please help me right this wrong, because to a mother who raised this boy for the first 6.5 years of her life to have to endure such an abuse of process while the boy goes through emotional torment is something that should only be reserved for parents who DO NOT care about the well-being of their children. I might point out that i am 50 years of age and this is my ONLY child and i would genuinely appreciate any and all help to this end.
Furthermore, i am sitting on a literal GOLDMINE Of litigation, Tort claims and other causes of action that i would love to be able to do something about because, as the woman in TN pointed out, DCS HARMS far more families than it ever helps, because there's MONEY in them-thare kids!!
Thank you!!
