Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in California
Cps
Is there a way that an indigent in a juvenile dependency case can get their children back when the allegations are now being recanted for sexual abuse/substance abuse by child? It's almost a parental alienation syndrome case. It's going on a year, and I've proven my credibility,however my daughter hasn't. Everything I've told them from day one is proving correct, but why am I still in this? They keep stringing me along. Now my daughter has run away from her caretakers because they wanted to replace her in another homeThe police found her and put her in Orangewood and she ran from there too, and they didn't notify me that she had ran away. I found out a day and a half later. There are so many reasons and facts I have to actually sue the County/SS for false docs/reports, emotional abuse, lack of reunification efforts,neglect and covering up negligence and child abuse reports caused by caretaker. Not to mention misrepresentation on first p.defender.

You can tell the court or the Public Defender's office that you believe the PD has a conflict of interest. If you make a big enough deal over it, you will probably have outside "conflict" counsel appointed to represent you.
