Child Protective Services in Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas, is out of control.
An 11 year-old boy, Kristopherson, returned home on March 5, 2009. –
Initially, becoming accustomed to being at home with different rules, and new schools, while his siblings were still in foster care, was rocky but he began to acclimate.
The first therapist approved by CPS, became ill and was hospitalized. Because Mom knew Kristopherson would need extra help when he first returned, Vanessa Carillo, caseworker, approved a couple of sessions with the family therapist. After a couple of weeks, March/April, his Mother was told to take him to see Arden Prior, a therapist.
Appointments were made, and an error in scheduling forced Mom to call and reschedule the therapy appointment. On the date of the rescheduled appointment, the Medicaid bus ran one hour late (a common issue for people with disabilities who have to use these buses for transportation, and easy to prove). Mom called Ms. Prior to let her know what the problem was. The Medicaid bus showed up one hour late, and Mom and son went to the office to see if the therapist was available. Arden Prior was gone.
Mom called Arden Prior numerous times and not receiving a return call, Mom contacted Vanessa Carillo, the caseworker. When Vanessa called Mom, she informed Mom that Arden Prior had fired Kristopherson as a client.
Isn’t there a requirement for therapists to inform parents who are court ordered to see her, when she fires them as a client? Are parents expected to read minds, or is this a way to make certain that clients fail to meet court orders? If you have encountered therapist Arden Prior, we would like to know about your experience.
Fortunately, Mom was referred to a much better therapist, who was able to meet Kristopherson’s needs, and they were beginning to establish a relationship; a child / therapist relationship. The last therapy appointment with Kristopherson was on May 20th, only NINE days before Tiffany Denson testified that the agency needed to remove Kristopherson immediately.
On May 14, the CASA worker, Tiffany Denson, appeared at the door and wanted to speak with Kristopherson. Mom informed Tiffany Denson that Kristopherson was home from school, running a fever, with the flu, and asked her to come another time. Tiffany appeared not to care about Kristopherson being sick as she went into the house, and tried to make this sick child talk to her.
On May 29, Tiffany Denson testified that the child was shut down, not communicative, and in serious danger.
Tiffany Denson testified that Mom is making the children hate her, the caseworkers, and their attorney, Elana Pearsol. Tiffany has no proof of this, but in family law courts, proof is not necessary.
Surely, the children's hatred for these people has nothing to do with them showing up at the kid’s schools at any time or day, and putting them into foster care! It works better to blame the Mother for everything that goes wrong with the children, in and out of foster care.
Although Kristopherson’s therapist disagreed with CPS’ decision to remove Kristopherson from his home, on May 29, the ADA in Judge Montemayor’s court stated 12 year-old Kristopherson needed to be removed from his home immediately. He was in Imminent Danger of Harm!
This Mother has never, NOT ONCE, had her children out of school without cause, the children have always had the clothes and food needed, and Mom has never allowed her child to walk around with a broken hand for three weeks; foster care does, but not this Mother! Although CPS has been involved in destroying the life of this family since September 8, 2004, not once has Mom been accused of abuse.
On May 29, 2009 – just as Tiffany Denson had told Kristopherson on May 14th, Judge Montemayor approved CPS taking Kristopherson into custody! The ADA said, this child needs to be removed immediately and it is a matter of life and death, i.e.: Imminent Danger... of what? Of not seeing a therapist in March!?
What is “imminent” about a concern made on May 14th, but not acted on until May 29th?
Oh surely there has to be more to this story... but, sadly enough, there is not more to the story!
On May 29, 2009, Kristopherson was taken from his school, and place in foster care because he missed one therapy appointment in March. Although Judge Montemayor stated he had previously ordered a zero tolerance for missed appointments, the records do not reflect this statement.
One judge in the District Courts in San Antonio stated, "We do not do crazy here." We need this judge to check in on Montemayor's court, and watch the crazies have a feeding frenzy.

In his own words, this child who has never been allowed to attend a court hearing, in violation of CPS Policy, wrote this letter to Judge Montemayor and Judge Sakai, word-for-word.
Child in Texas Residential state foster care
-------------------------------------------------------------
Notice how the Child assumes he is in foster care because he is BAD.
The reason he believes he is a bad child is because he is repeatedly told he IS a BAD CHILD, by foster caregivers, caseworkers, and his own attorney is convinced he is just a BAD kid!~
-- Who is Elana Pearsol working for?
-- She has convicted her own client and resolved to create a “throw-away” child.
-- Caseworker and child’s attorney, Elana Pearsol, have said he is a lost cause.
-- This child’s mother is not going to go away!!
-- CPS in San Antonio has been trying to dismiss the mother since 2004, but this is a real Mother and she is not going to go away!
Recently, this child was restrained, face down (prone)in a fire-ant bed by staff at Five Oaks Achievement Center in Texas!
Dear Judge Guy or Girl,
Please let me go home because if you do I will be very, very, good and I will NOT get in ANY trouble at all guaranteed. You will definitely not regret it and no one can be a better parent and guardian than my mom and dad, and CPS keeps putting us places they know nothing about and it is totally ridiculous and stupid. So, that is the first reason we should go home.
Here is a list of reasons for letting us go home.
List of Reasons we should be let go home:
1. CPS keeps putting us places they know nothing about
2. No one knows us better than my mom
3. No one does a better job of parenting than my mom and dad
4. My mom is always there for me
5. My mom and dad are very responsible
6. Jesus made my family just for me
7. Families are supposed to stay together until death do they part
8. CPS is irresponsible
9. CPS is cruel
10. CPS does not care about us
11. CPS acts worried but really isn’t
12. CPS isn’t smart
Sincerely,
Child in Texas Residential state foster care

Juvenile Court Judge John Phillips, who ordered the boys removed from the Del Bosques’ La Porte home last year after remarking in court that the 50-something grandparents were too old to raise them, recused himself from the case.
But he didn’t go quietly (Falkenburg, 2009).
News Report
Phillips began to be slammed for removing two very happy and well cared for children from their grandparents, stating the 50+ grandparents were too old, and this was unfair to the children who would need their parents long after they are adults.
CPS gave positive reports for 12 months, but when Phillips set out to have these childen adopted by strangers, odd reports of drug abuse, and other hearsay information began to be culminated.
If we don't have a case, then let's just make it up as we go along.
Carole Strayhorn, ex Comptroller, stated a child is five times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in foster care.
Rep. Hupp stated a child is four times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in state foster care than in the general population.
The agency designed to protect children has a higher percentage of serious child injuries and death, than the parents in the general public!
House A - A child may be at risk of harm.
House B - A child is FOUR to FIVE times more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Which house should the child live in? A ? B ?
The state of Texas believes it is better to take a child from Home A and place them in Home B.
I am not a math whiz, but this is insanity at its best.
Let's keep doing the same things over and over, expecting different results!~
