The child protective service took two preschool boys from their young single physically disabled mother. They falsely claimed abuse and would not allow the maternal grandmother guardianship of them. I, the Grandmother apparently have been put on a registry so I cannot work with children or raise them in my home. I lost my juvenile detention job because of it. The report that put me on the registry was more than 4- 5 years ago. I raised 4 kids as a single parent, I was written onto a permanent registry as neglect because my kids got lice. Yes they got lice, yes they were very difficult to get rid of but to brand someone for neglect? The other portion of the neglect was dog poop in the back yard "in piles". I was obviously cleaning it up, we don't have dogs that poop in perfect piles. I will always have a record now as a child abuser/neglect. My daughter will also now due to the removal of her boys.
There must be some way to prevent this injustice. There are children that truly do need intervention and they get ignored so these types of cases can be more easily worked. When no problem exists it is easier for the workers then a real case of abuse or neglect.
Registry labels should be more discreet in there labeling decent people. They ruin reputations and lives.
