Comments: I live in Illinois and have watched the DCFS and Lutheran Services take
away a father's rights when he wasn't even in on the initial charge. The
charge was the maternal grandma against her daughter (they never got
along). First, they are close, then they actually fist fight and it was seen
by two caseworkers and the grandma had a foster care license. They left
the child in question (who was in the mother's arms when hit by grandma) at the
grandma's house until they investigated. When the case was
"investigated" and mom flunked the drug test, dad was told if judge
says so kid will go to strangers unless he signs over rights. Guess
what? Grandma got the kid. Now dad is in jail on bogus charges and
maternal grandma (who just so happens to have a friend that worked in dcfs for 15 yrs) gets the kid and money to take care of him. the cases on grandma (including 13 yrs of
child's mom being in foster care) have been sealed and all charges dropped and
foster license restored and everything is fine. it took 4 years of court
for dad to lose his son. he went to counseling that they made him go even
though all he did was had a record of theft and something that happened 20 yrs
ago that had been resolved in a court of law. How fair is our
system? i wish someone would write about this story or something. Justice
will never be done in Illinois!!!
