    For approximately 258 days, I was denied the ability to speak to my children--despite zero findings…read moreof abuse against me. During that same period, the children remained in an environment where the mother was facing a pending felony for injury to a child, with active CPS involvement. A documented pattern of violence existed, including the April 27 incident, after which communication was cut off when I contacted law enforcement. These events were known and provided, yet treated as irrelevant. A Child Safe Center forensic interview, conducted at the direction of CPS and SAPD, confirmed trauma to the child. Two CPS safety plans further identified risk involving the mother, her family, and the children's environment. These safety plans were based on violence occurring against me and in front of the children. Despite this, these concerns were not prioritized--they were ignored. Medical Documentation of Assault Ignored Medical records confirm that one of the children was assaulted by bodily force. The child reported being hit on the neck and shoulder, dragged by his arms, and punched in the stomach and knee. Bruising was documented, and the mechanism was identified as assault. The provider recommended avoiding the individual responsible and contacting law enforcement or CPS if it continued. This constitutes medical documentation of abuse. Ignored Warnings and Predictable Violence Prior to a separate assault against me, warnings were communicated in advance. Messages indicated concern that I would be assaulted that day, including statements from the children themselves telling me to be careful. That assault did occur. I was assaulted while holding our child, threatened with death, and law enforcement responded. This was not unforeseen. It was warned, predictable, and preventable. Failure to Act on Known Risk Children sent direct messages stating they were scared and uncomfortable around the same individual who had previously assaulted me in front of them and threatened to kill me. Harassment occurred despite existing restrictions, including a no-contact order. At the same time, CPS had identified the environment as involving violence and ongoing risk through two safety plans. Yet the environment remained unchanged. Children's Voices and Expressions Ignored The children consistently expressed fear, discomfort, and a desire to live with their father. They also conveyed fear through drawings, including concern that their father would be harmed or killed. These expressions aligned with documented violence, confirmed trauma, and ongoing safety concerns. Yet their voices were minimized, their concerns were not prioritized, and their emotional indicators were not treated as credible. Imbalance in Treatment While these documented safety concerns were not acted upon, I was cleared by CPS multiple times with no findings of abuse. Despite this, I was restricted from my children, treated as the issue, and removed from their lives for extended periods. Forensic Findings Ignored A court-ordered forensic evaluation found that I was highly credible, a fit parent, and suffering from PTSD due to abuse by the mother. This report was available in January. It was not used to inform decisions, correct false claims, or protect the children. Instead, it was later referenced in court on June 25 as if it were new. It was not. Selective Presentation to the Court Critical safety concerns--including medical evidence of assault, Child Safe Center findings, CPS safety plans, advance warnings of violence, and the presence of a violent individual under a no-contact order--were not meaningfully presented to the court. Instead, focus was directed toward issues unrelated to the children's safety. Questions That Must Be Answered Why were two CPS safety plans not treated as controlling information? Why was medical documentation of assault not elevated as a primary concern? Why were advance warnings of violence not acted upon? Why were direct statements from the children expressing fear ignored? Why were the children's voices minimized? Why were these risks not presented to the court? Why was a parent repeatedly cleared by CPS treated as the problem? Conclusion This was not a lack of information. Violence was warned in advance. Assaults occurred. Trauma was confirmed. Two CPS safety plans identified risk. The children expressed fear. The reporting parent was cleared. Yet the response did not match the severity of the facts. The environment remained unchanged, and the same risks continued. Removing me did not fix the problem. It exposed it.

    I highly recommend Mrs Hessbrook. She is an honest and reliable attorney who helped me throughout…read moremy whole case.
