family law

Asked Jul 3, 2012, 03:59 PM — 17 Answers
Okay this is the only way I feel safe to ask this question. Please help me if you can! My boyfriends mother has been dealing with the DSS in Harford County for years. They have taken children out of the family for unknown reasons and possibly illegal reasons. I am currently pregnant, my boyfriend and I are being told that they will find a way to come and take our baby. We are so scared and can not get a straight answer from anyone. Can they take our baby even though the DSS have nothing on either one of us? Can they come take our baby just to get back at his mother? That's what her lawyer seems to believe. He believes they will come to the hospital and take him! Is their anything we can do to protect our baby? PLEASE HELP US! WE ARE SO SCARED AND BARLEY ADULTS! WE NEED SOMEONES HELP PLEASE!

What Judy said about the media.

So the attorney is giving you the same advice I did. The point is, if the agency is as corrupt and powerful as you say, then leaving the state may be your only option.

Honestly with all of you just telling ne their is no reason for the DSS to take the baby if we are not involved with his mother then their is no reason for them to take our baby really helps a lot. I wish I could give more details but I'm afraid to give to much. Thank you for all of your advice if anyone has anymore. I'm all ears!

Without knowing more details it's impossible to say, particularly if the "system" is corrupt (which you say it is).

Now - if you and your boyfriend were mentioned as being involved in the child abuse/neglect, yes, then you have a problem. If not - no.

Their was a mention of him doing something a fee
years ago but it was never proven and never brought back up. Could they still take him even though it was so long ago and never proven?

This is why the whole story needs to be posted - and why I think at this point either more info IS posted or the thread is closed.

YES, if there were allegations, proven or unproven, yes, your baby could be "taken" for the baby's safety while your boyfriend is being investigated.

I know you are worried and upset but you have just wasted a lot of people's time.

Now I understand the Attorney's advice.

As Judy said its impossible for us to tell. It is rare that a government agency can get away with a vendetta against one family, which is what you are describing. So there may be some justification in their actions. We can't know. Your attorney knows the facts and I would trust in their counsel.

You are inappropriate - post on a public board and you get what you get. "Whoever I am?" Read my profile. I'm actually an investigator. Your story is NOT my first time on this particular ride and I've worked BOTH sides of this - "falsely accused" and "somebody get this child out of this situation." Every time there is an investigation somebody is 100% convinced that the very system that was set up to protect children is plotting against them - usually the person who loses custody OR has to move out of State. Odd, the people who are investigated and cleared make none of those accusations.

YOU don't get to decide who is on AMHD and who is not.

AMHD does get to decide who can post who cannot.

Be nice about this? I did research to see what can and cannot be done concerning your child and then - surprise! - the "facts" aren't quite as originally presented. My time was totally wasted. I figured out it was a waste of time AFTER I did the research and found out that your boyfriend, the father of your child, was implicated in the abuse/neglect.

At any rate - I was nice as could be. I was also honest.

And as Scott said, more gently than I did - believe your Attorney and HOPE whatever Agency has a vendetta doesn't follow you (and your boyfriend's family) to another State. They do have the power to do that.
