How to File Complaints
Filing complaints is a crucial step in holding CPS accountable for their actions. I strongly encourage you to file complaints with your state bar, judicial performance commissions, and federal agencies if CPS has taken your children without evidence. These actions highlight systemic issues, including the misuse of funds and the profits states gain through the Adoption and Safe Families Act. By taking this step, you help expose the injustices and push for accountability and reform.
How to File a State Bar Complaint
To file a complaint against an attorney in your state, search online for “File a Complaint Against Attorney Bar in [Your State].” Locate your state’s bar association website and follow the steps to submit your complaint. Include clear evidence of how the attorney failed to represent you, such as neglecting to cross-examine witnesses, misrepresentation, or any misconduct that impacted your case. Providing detailed information and documentation strengthens your complaint and helps ensure accountability.
How to File a Judicial Performance Complaint
To file a complaint against a judge in your state, search online for “File a Complaint Against Judge in [Your State].” Locate your state’s judicial performance commission or oversight body. Submit your complaint detailing how the judge made careless or biased decisions that unjustly impacted your case, including actions that contributed to children being removed without cause or for profit motives. Provide any supporting evidence to strengthen your claim and highlight the need for accountability within the judicial system.
How to File a Complaint for Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
If you suspect fraud, waste, or abuse related to the CPS system or misuse of government funds, you can file a report with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Visit Report Fraud, Waste, and Abuse and follow the instructions to submit your complaint. Be prepared to provide detailed information and any evidence you have to support your claim. Reporting such issues is a critical step in ensuring accountability and stopping the misuse of taxpayer dollars.
How to File a Complaint with the Office of Inspector General (OIG)
If you suspect fraud, waste, or abuse involving federal grants or funds related to child welfare, you can file a complaint through the Office of Inspector General (OIG). Visit the OIG’s official website at https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/grant/ to report your concerns.
Follow the instructions provided to submit your complaint, detailing any misuse of funds or misconduct. Be specific and include evidence if possible, such as documentation of improper use of federal grants or violations of policies related to programs like the Adoption and Safe Families Act. Filing with the OIG is a critical step in holding agencies accountable for their actions.

What is RICO?
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a federal law designed to combat organized crime. It targets ongoing criminal enterprises that engage in illegal activities such as fraud, bribery, and extortion. RICO allows prosecution of individuals or groups involved in a pattern of criminal activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce, even if they didn’t commit the crimes themselves but were part of the enterprise.
