ALERT for CA residents: opportunity to join in lawsuit (read on!)

[irishgrl]

I received this email from one of the Advocacy groups that I belong to. Basically it is saying there is an opportunity for a person to join in a Lawsuit if you have had your child removed from your custody as a result of an exparte hearing. see below:

Dear Friends.
CPPA has joined with several California advocacy groups and attorneys to take the lead to stop civil rights violations in California family and juvenile courts.

As we know, judges are illegally changing custody at exparte hearings. Parents, especially mothers, are losing custody for reporting child abuse. These are violations of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. These are civil rights violations of due process. Due process means that you have the right to tell your side of the story and to cross examine and call witnesses on your behalf. When children are removed from their homes by Child Protective Services, qualified blood relatives are being denied guardianship and the children are instead put up for adoption. Parents are being told not to talk about their case, which is a violation of free speech, a First Amendment right.

We are in contact with attorneys who are preparing to file an appeal to the CA Supreme Court for the return of these children, based on civil rights violations. If your case is in California and you wish to join this effort, please go to the following website www.reuniteourfamilies.org and complete the confidential form.

If you, or someone you know has lost custody of your child because of an exparte hearing, please go to the website and take a look at the form. Judicial reform is VERY BADLY needed in Family Courts across the land.
