Many of the good reviews on here are from workers which is a very clear conflict of interest. They have no substantiated abuse or neglect after 18 months yet they continue to hold on to my child because I won't complete their case plan which to them is like some royal decrees triumphing over even the constitution.

Brittany Huey is a liar and a failure, one that refuses to do her job. She is a caseworker that will push to endanger your child in the system while they are safe at home. I have always protected my child and will continue to do so, which is the reason why I say to protect yourself against this snake! I'm more than likely going to have to press charges against her as her behavior has been completely out of line.

If you get a case worker named Stephenie Lancaster then request a different one. She has to be one of the worse people at her job. Their job is reunification of the family. Stephanie said if me and the mother got back together she would take our child.. She also encouraged the mother of my child to skip state and not come to the last court case causing a warent to be issued. Stephanie shouldn't have a job involving children. She doesn't put the welfair of the child first. It's her own agenda first.. I was in no wrong. Child services was involved due to the mother but I was treated as the bad guy, as if I did something wrong when I didn't. Thinking back, I should of filed a lawsuit against them.

Excellent department that do phenomenal services to abused or neglected children. The staff is well trained professionals that will do a thorough investigation. I highly suggest any parent to involve this department if you ever see signs of abuse or neglect. Prevention is better than cure. Court appointed Guardian At Litem’s (GAL) attorneys are most of the time not well trained professionals to determine child abuse, however this department can easily find out the slightest child abuse.

AVIOD CHILDREN SERVICES AS BEST YOU CAN. There are really parents out here that care more for their children than any other person could. In my experience I was mistreated as a youth in these services and there was no type of remorse . My parents where not told of how we would be locked in hen houses at the "families home". It looked like a plantation. Our parents never even got to see where we were living and how we were living here at all.honestly I think they take the kids so they can be weird to them. In some way i feel that they wanted me to turn out strange like their family. The requirements they conduct to see if the "new families" are fit to raise someone else's children are an absolute joke.My mother got custody back and that's the best place I believe I could have been in my mother's care personally.God please bless the families that are dealing with children services and please bless the children that are in need of real authentic parents.

Horrible, unorganized, rude, and demanding people. They don't care about the foster parents or the kids. I got into foster care for good reasons, but these people made me quit. I only gave 24 hours in a week I was not available to transport the kids to visitations and they told me I had to take the 2 sisters ( I kept them together by taking both ) during those hours with no consideration for my hardship. I was told that there were 2 sets of parents needing 2 different visitations a week only after I already came to pick them up. Then they said that the father could only come at this one time a week and the mother could only come another one time. Seriously? I'm available 2 weekdays, all weeknights, all weekends and these people can only be available for one hour and only on my workday? Bull. I think the social workers told me that the parents couldn't do weekends because they didn't want to come in then. Oh, but I volunteered MY weekends and really my 24-7 life trying to help these kids and a system that does not give you enough money to even care for the kids. They bend over backwards for the parents who broke the law and expect me to change my whole life to fit the whims of the parents and social workers. One time, they promised transportation during my workday for a visitation scheduled on my workday, confirmed it, and then pulled out the transportation and I said I had to figure it out. They think they have all the power, but I'll just pull out. I feel bad for the kids, but I will not lose my job over this, or be disrespected and taken for granted. Also, after I got one into daycare and changed my life to care for the kids, they say, oh, by the way, Kin stepped forward and we're looking into them as caregivers after 3 weeks. Fine. I don't recommend foster care to anyone through Franklin County. Go to a neighboring county.

I have a good appreciation for this agency. Most of the reviews aren't all that positive but that's understandable because many families are not involved voluntarily and their outcomes aren't always the way they want them. But my experience with children services has been better in this city than any other and that's saying something

I smoked marijuana while I was pregnant but I had a good job and so did my fiance and we had a nice apartment and a beautiful Nursery and I went to give birth and CPS got involved because I came up positive for weed so I stopped smoking weed and passed all my drug test asked me to take parenting classes so I took the parenting classes and then they wouldn't pay for the classes even though they promised they would pay for them and they suddenly close the case and recommended emergency custody go to his grandma for no reason and I never found out why they took my baby and I still don't know why they took my baby.

I think FCCS should stop abusing their power to harass great parents of wonderful children. This organization will ridicule, and stereotype any family who lives in a low income neighborhood. I'm a great mom who cleans, cooks, and provides exceptional care for her children and am falling victom to the type emotional abuse that this agency stands to dish out. My recent experience speaking with one of their poorly trained, and uneducated workers was absolute torture. This woman in my opinion is a predator, and gets great joy at the expense of others pain. She will stand tall in your own home and try her hardest to make you cower down. Not only is she un professional, she is down right rude in every aspect. Upon leaving my home she discussed details about my case without my consent to people whom are not included in the actual case. BEWARE!!!! These people are leaches.
