Anthoney Conyers - Commissioner of the Virginia Dept. of Social Services, Thanks for NOT doing your JOB! It's typical to see your agency doing damage control now on youtube. The one main thing I took from it is that you feel that no matter what damage your agencies have done in the past - it's ok- because they were just doing what they were told to do. Once your agency -or an arm of your agency- takes a child ...you told me in a letter , which I will post shortly, that it's out of your hands and now in the hands of your "partner" the juvenile justice system. You basically admitted in your video and letter to me that although you are citing a need for change within DSS you are holding no one accountable and taking a "hands off" approach when dealing with the families. You didn't address the fact that there should be investigations of corrupt workers - and there are many- in places like Giles County Virginia. The story at the end was moving too - you confirmed my opinion of social workers - they all feel as if they are all powerful "redeemers" and basically think they are "God". That's our final word to you.
AFTER THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED DSS TOOK THEIR VIDEO DOWN.
A slideshow of my family before and after our 5 children were snatched from us by corrupt virginia CPS and a corrupt Giles County Sheriffs Dept. Capt. Mike Falls who arrested us and manhandled my wife has a history...http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03/n957/a07.html. Deputy Dunn falsified police report and arrest warrants. Gov. Kaine and State Commissioner of DSS choose to do nothing about our case.
On 10-9-08 we went before the Judge and heard testimony from the prosecutors witnesses. One psycholgist that was seeing my oldest two sons isn't even licensed in Virginia. He and his associate committed purgury on the stand-this will come out later. He has since stopped "treating" at least one of my sons. We were there for 6 hours and the case was continued until Nov. 13th. The Judge was going to give our children back but Oma McReynolds protested it.
If you are having the same problem in Virginia or elsewhere please write to us and let us know.


Thank you.

Message:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU3F8YXAD4I I was told by one of your aids that there was nothing you could do. I also received a letter from your office stating the same. I will be posting my sons letters with details of abuse occurring in the foster home . It seems you all give the same lip service when it comes to what you do for children but it seems to be a marketing campaign.

More added daily. 12-11-08 Physical custody of our chidren was returned to my wife. DSS still has legal custody. Even though I was found not guilty DSS still has a no contact order on me in regards to my children. It was solely based on the allegations. Our next court date is in Jan.so we have to wait until then to get the no contact order dimissed. We're still a broken family. The holidays won't be the same. Please rate and comment.

  • We did get our children back and are waiting for the lawsuit to be filed. We're still trying to rebuild our lives but because of what CPS has done we will never be the same.

  • Then we find out they didn't even have a warrant to arrest me . 3 months later, when they heard we were going to bring it up in court, suddendly an arrest warrant magically appeared but you can tell it was done after the fact.

  • have there been any repercussions taken towards the department? or anything of the sort?

  • There's going to be but I can't talk about the details.

  • @MaladaptiveCatalyst

    Vindication may have at long last arrived for the family in the form of a recent court filing, Dinwiddie et al v. Giles County, Virginia Department of Social Services et al. Case no: 7:2011cv00008, filed January 7, 2011, the venue being the Virginia Western District Court, Roanoke Office, the Honorable Samuel G. Wilson presiding.

  • In case there are any Child Stealing NAZI's reading these post...I hope you all..BURN IN HELL..you have NO right to do this to a family..and if any of you have kids under the age of 18..I hope parents call CPS on you and just say they saw you abuse kids..as long as they dont say it was your kids its not a lie cause your abusing theirs.

  • People are becoming aware as to the corruption and are getting fed up. What has happened to this family is happening all over this nation.

    I have heard utterings of instating the militias to deal with CPS!!!!! NO JOKE!

    Time after time CPS fails children and families. The system is RANK WITH PEDOPHILES! Stories blaze this nations newspapers about children who die because CPS put the child in foster care or left them with truly abusive parents or a social worker is molesting the child.

  • In our case it is the Court System is corrupt--My son is Sarg. Franklin Jeffries and his daughter has a step father that is a Lawyer in the Knoxville Court System. We have been fighting for 13 years--my Granddaughter is 14 now. Mother worked in Court System too!! I have paid over 100,000.00 to their having a pro bono Lawyer--which is the good ole buddie system. My son vented at home on a video and the Lawyer somehow got hold of it and took it to his good ole drinking partner Judge .
