do you think after getting your kids taken away for four years  should you get them back?

That's a hard one!  I don't think either that they should go back either.  Children need a stable environment.  It's not good on them to be transfered around.  Even back to parents that don't care about them anyways.  Im so sorry that you have to go through this.  If I were you,  I would fight this as hard as you can.  Good Luck!

I think they should be put with other prisoners. The pedophiles will get repeated first hand experience on what it's like for their victims. The child killers will get the same. The benefit for both being that it'll all be done free of charge by the other inmates.

Yes !\nYou ever considered what it must be like for that child to "loose" his or her parents again? \nCould you imagine what pain it causes, not seeing your parents anymore, or maybe once or twice a year?

I think they should be sent back and come back here LEGALLY.. it's not that hard... unless you are a criminal. Then you don't belong here anyways.

I don't think you should ever do that.  You may be wrong.  I would go along the lines of suggesting that the child is not living up to their potential.

i think that once they have the child he should get custody of the child and get rid of the one he is not happy with.

They should all go back with their children in tow! If you aren't here legally when you have your kid, it should NOT become a citizen.\n\nNo one else is allowed to legally profit from their illegal activities. For example, when they bust a drug dealer, they take everything he owns whether or not they can prove that it was bought with drug profits. Criminals can not write books or do interviews about their crime for money.\n\nSo, why is it that someone who is in this country ILLEGALLY can have a kid and then leech off of the taxpayers' wallets indefinitely through welfare and other social programs? They are benefiting from their crime when they should be made to pay!\n\nIf I make less money than you, and I just want a better life, can I come and live in your home without your permission? I'll have my baby, and you'll be responsible for its welfare as well as mine. Also, your taxes will go up to cover the costs of schooling my baby (and the dozen more that I'll have). Does that sound fair to you? Who is really being mean - the people who work hard for what they have, or those who steal from the working people?

I'm sorry to say that your post is a little difficult to read and understand your question.  I suspect though, that it was a little more of soapboxing than a question.\n\nDCFS/CPS cannot just come into your home and remove your children for 'no reason.'  They have to have valid and documentable evidence that your child is in a dangerous situation.  They are not the only ones who get a say in making this decision either.  The evidence and defense must be presented to a judge who decides whether the child is remanded to the custody of the state or returned to its natural parents.\n\nThis doesn't mean it's a perfect system.  In my years in social service I saw many children returned to parents only to be abused again and again and worse each time.  I even had the sad experience of seeing one die of abuse.  So if mistakes are made on that side, it's not inconceivable to believe that mistakes can be made on the other side as well, and a have a child removed when it's not warranted.  I'll be honest, I've thought about myself in a parent's shoes and I would be angry, scared, etc.\n\nThe best thing you can do for your family and that child is to hold it together.  Get an attorney (if you can't afford one, the court must provide you one) and follow his/her advice to the letter.  Concentrate on getting your child back and not on your anger at the system.

i believe that if a felon has kept a clean and regular life than they should be given back their rights back. i only beleive this because people do make mistakes and i believe that everyone deserves that 2nd chance.

6 kids in 8 years??  And he can't get off his butt to support his family??\n\nYou'd probably do better on your own.

I think most back ground checks are 7 years but as long as the charges weren't dealing with child abuse you'll be ok.

Depending on the reason if it is that bad no but I probably would. They deserve a second chance. I am attracted by the way most of them carry themselves.

yes,depends on the environment and how you treat the kid.\nThey will learn as they grow older. Be nice to them.

The law is the only way to handle these matters.*\n\nThe process through the courts may be slow but if you keep trying time will come around and the kids know you love them because you never give up trying to get them back.

Don't you think that a person who owes child support should be paying that before travelling the world?  \n\nIt is a realistic expectation to have to comply with a court order and support the children that you brought into this world, after all.  \n\nBesides, there would be tons of Dead Beat Dads leaving for somewhere and conveniently never coming back, especially when they owe in the tens of thousands of dollars to their children.

I agree with you completely.I never had to go through custody hearings myself,as my ex just dropped off the face of the earth.But,I went through this process with my best friend.It went on for years.Her husband was a wife and child abuser with numerous police reports files on him.He always said he would kill them all if they left.Finally,after he raised a shovel to hit one of his children with it and my friend stepped in instead,she finally had the good sense to leave this man.It was always used against her in court that she took her children and ran and he didn't know where they were for about a week.HE ended up getting custody of both of these children after years and years of fighting.Very sad,both of these children are now on medication for mental problems.I just couldn't believe just where these judges heads were.I think he was given priority because he was in the military,but these children's lives were ruined by the stupid decision of all of these judges,and over the years there were more than one.Why a judge would give custody of two little girls to a known abuser is beyond me.They should be held accountable for their decisions,especially when the outcome should be obvious to any normal person.
