So here is the situation . My sister and her now ex fiance lived together with my niece .My sister was arrested for some things that her fiance did not know was going on or so he says. Well a few hours after my sister was arrested CPS came and took my niece from the home .
For really no justifiable reason that I can see .When I contacted the CPS worker to see if I could take my niece instead of her going to Polinsky center.The lady told me no. She said because of my past drug history they would not place her with me. Even though I have been clean for over 3 years and was willing to test.When I asked if I could go see her I was told no again. When I asked why? she replied with," cause that was simply the decision they (her and her boss) decided" .
My mom teaches in Iraq, as soon as she heard what happen she took an emergency leave of absence during finals and flew home.When she tried to get temporary custody, CPS said it would be to hard to do a background check on her cause of where she lives. Even though she lived in CA for over 44 years and only has one speeding ticket on her record .When we asked if my uncle who is a retired Navy Doctor could get custody they said no with no reason.After my niece was held at Polinsky center for 30 days they moved her up north away from everything she knows with the fathers parents which is fine cause we are all just happy she is out of Polinsky center.
The problem is .with my sister in jail and my mom back over seas i am the only one here to fight for my sisters side of the family to have visitation rights .But no one will tell me anything .they wont give me court dates they still wont let me see her they wont even tell me if she is ok.the worst part is that the father is only 21 and is very angry with my sister and wants to punish the whole family .
He has even gone as far as to say that my niece will grow up thinking her mom is dead and that my family does not care and by his parents actions I don't think they will do anything but encourage this.My niece means a lot to me and my family and we are all cursed that the father is acting like this all we want is to be able to visit her and my mom would like to be able to have her for at least a month out of the summer since she is only here 3 months out of the year.
So I ask,"Is my family without rights?, and can CPS shut me out like this? I have done nothing wrong.
