    Related Links and Information:(Note: In my opinion, it is sad that "we the people" in a Republic, where laws govern us, that we do not have the knowledge to defend ourselves.
    Hopefully, we can change this?
    One should always ask Why.. and if another says you can't. Ask why NOT?

    >Warrant Training
     As part of litigation in one of the Civil Rights cases in CA, warrant training for the Child Protective Employees was established for the county. However, it would be wise to review this information as a concerned parent and/or caregiver. Please note, in many, many cases, children have been removed without just cause of "immanent danger"

    >Creating Your Law Book- Whether you seek legal assistance or not, it is vital that you carefully document the Who, What, Where, and Why of your situation. Here is some information to consider:

    Using Your Law Book
    Note, many don't realize that the issues that may happen to a Family, may have to be taken to different Courts:
    • If you are accused of alleged abuse of your child, this would more than likely be a Family/Juvenile court matter.
    • If you want to sue the agency, this would be a Civil Court matter.
    • However, one must resolve the Family/Juvenile court issues before they go to Civil Court.
    Confusing, yes.

    >However, to get you successfully through Family Court to hopefully carry on to Civil Court, here is a great starting point:Index of State Statute Summaries relating to Family Court

    >Please visit my blog "Defend Yourself" and hopefully gain insight on the many issues we face in court. It is vital that you know the rules of courts, state statutes, etc. before you go to court to defend your self. (Visit Blog)

    Yes there are many, many websites out there. However, the key is to hope that the sites are going in a similar direction.

“How to Write a Declaration of Facts to Submit to the Court”-from Featured Website

Perhaps one of the Best Tools we have to defend ourselves is creating a
"Declaration"
Here is a super guide to help one do that: 

Also, do explore more of the information on this site, fightcps.com.

Keep in mind you must become an advocate for yourself to defend yourself and those closest to you. 

FYI, here are just a few excerpts from this page:
    Need More Laws?
  1. "NEVER write any self-incriminating statements into your declaration as this can be used against you. You’re trying to prove your innocence, and not give evidence to prove your guilt."
  2. "Keep it as brief as possible. The judge is far more likely to read it happily and thoroughly if your sentences are short and to the point, and if no unnecessary information is included. Brevity is golden when writing court documents. You want the judge to like you, not hate you because your statement was too long. Focus in on the most important issues and leave out everything else."
