About Me.
Welcome to my journey of resilience, advocacy, and hope. My name is Morris Patrick, and I am a proud father of three, a graduate of Gallaudet University, and a dedicated advocate for reform within the Child Protective Services (CPS) system. My story is one of profound challenges, unwavering perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of justice.
As a father, I faced unimaginable adversity when my family was unjustly torn apart by systemic failures. These experiences inspired me to share my journey in my upcoming book, Stolen Children by CPS, set to be published in 2025 after my court battles conclude. The book sheds light on the hidden injustices and corruption within CPS while advocating for meaningful reforms that prioritize children’s safety and protect parental rights.
Beyond writing, I am deeply committed to empowering others. With a strong background in government and law and as a current Master of Public Administration student, I am dedicated to using my knowledge and voice to educate, inspire, and drive systemic change. Through my book, workshops, and speaking engagements, I aim to create a platform for support, understanding, and action for families affected by CPS.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we can expose the flaws in the system, demand justice, and protect the most vulnerable among us—our children.
