My granddaughter has been a victim of legal kidnapping by a CPS office in New York.
>>>Before you read...I just wanted you to know that I originally made this website because of living in West
Virginia and people such as attorneys in New York needing to know the whole story. It was easier to just direct them to the
website rather than explain everything. At one point Anthony's attorney said we need to delete this website because DSS has
found it and might do something legal against us because of the website....BUT..THE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE
INOCENT....They can't do anything!!! So read on and please tell me what you think by signing the guestbook. To see how it
all led up to this...see the whole story in a nutshell.....Thanks...Cheryl Hall<<<<
I was told that I could have my home inspected by my local foster care and then I could have her. I went through all the
proceedures to be a foster-care-parent so that I could take my own granddaughter. The Interstate Compact was approved by my
local office, then sent to my state office, then sent to the New York state office and then to the local office. All of this
was approved in November 2007.
I was told by the DSS in New York in November 2007 that they have decided I could take her....only
one problem.......they didn't get the HARD copy of the Interstate Compact yet. They said when I come back in December 2007
for the next hearing, I could take her as long as they have the papers by then. The court hearing came and they
said they had the Interstate Compact papers but there were some "concerns" now. They decided they wanted to ask me some
questions on the stand, but oops, it's 4:00pm and time to go. They couldn't have the hearing the next day, or even the next
month. The hearing was set for February 2008.
The February hearing came and I went the 720 miles to get there. I was the first one on the stand and badgered quite
a bit by everyone.
The Judge's decision:
The neglectful mother has a more special bond than the father who lives 700 miles away. The object is to reunify the
child with one of the parents after they have completed their programs and such. The child cannot go with the grand-mother(me)
because the distance is too far (even though I went well prepared with a halfway point to meet with the mother) I show too
much anger toward the mother which is not good for the child to be around and I don't think my son did anything wrong(not
true) I told them what I think he did wrong and I told them I have learned to tolerate her in the past four years of their
in-and-out marriage.
The mother has a special bond with the child?? The mother who stabbed the father with a knife in front of the child has
a special bond??????? The same mother who came home drunk and not wearing any underware. (see favorite Links page for newspaper
story)The same mother who was arrested for a felony 2nd??The papers I received when the terrible knife stabbing happened
did not make any acceptions to the distance, bonding with one parent over the other, or that I had to agree with CPS and say
that my son was a woman beater. (It was the other way around but try having any constitutional rights or father's rights in THAT
court room!!!!!!!) They are saying reunification of the parents with the child is why it is so important for her to stay in
NY instead of going with me like the papers say......while court hearings are pending....
Just a week before this Feb.2008 hearing they asked my son a lot of questions about the abuse HE suffered by his X but
in the court hearing none of that was brought up. My son is a battered spouse. I was there for the four years they were married
and together on the phone 900 miles away trying to convince my brain-washed son to take the advice from his military friends
and take his daughter and stay away from the vindictive wife. I talked to my son's military seargent who told me
himself that SHE beat up on HIM and that he seemed to be under her spell. He kept going back to her until the next fight.
My perception on things is that the courts are trying to get me out of the picture. Then they are going to use their
same twisted lies to get my son out of the picture. Then they are going to use the TRUTH to get the mother out of the picture.
Then they will adopt my granddaughter out to some nice family where we will never see her again.
There is a lot more to the story and is all explained in the other pages on the left. For the most recent happenings....click
on "UPDATES" to the left.
There was no justice in that court room. I was treated unfairly and I have an attorney now on my appeal. Anthony is going
to appeal his part of it but the courts won't send the written order from the court hearing.
