This can happen to all happy families in the U.S. with healthy children…

And my son? They, meaning the DCFS social workers, did not care about helping my son or doing anything for him other than actually neglecting and abusing him. They managed to deny him in many atrocious ways to be with me and at home while coaching him to not love home and his mother. But it only made my son and I become even more connected and love each other. They failed in our case. Parental alienation indeed but it did not succeed!

In the meanwhile they shopped my son like a piece of meat around the foster care system which is why the terms “Kids4Cash” and “Child trafficking” are often used to describe the CPS and local DCFS agencies.

But how was he abused by social workers one might ask? Aside being separated from loving parents which is itself is abusive and traumatizing? In the case of my son, who was so traumatized that he stopped speaking after being removed from me, he was neglected and abused by social workers Angela Lee and Elizabeth Castellanos and their supervisors starting at age 2 years and 8 months old. He was denied needed speech therapy services for over 12 months by DCFS that led to a sanctions hearing against the social worker Angela Lee and her supervisors. My son was also without consent by me which they needed because I am his mother with parental rights, given psychotropic drugs at age 3. I found out a year later when reading the service delivery logs Angela Lee and DCFS staff wrote. They typically heavily redact info on these but forgot to delete this important entry for me to read.

Most horrendous was also that he was physically and emotionally abused by multiple foster care givers as well as two DCFS social workers who drove him from and to visits. The second social worker Elizabeth Castellanos left my son repeatedly in a hot car during FaceTime calls making my son profusely sweat at age 4 and grasp for air and tell me that he is very hot. The windows were closed and the car was parked in 100 degrees here in July in Pasadena, California. No air conditioning and a hot car with a toddler asking for help inside? And me as the mother on FaceTime begging the social worker to open the window at least and start the air conditioning before when it got really bad asking her to take him outside the car to no prevail. This social worker did not even after she was confronted about it later act even slightly apologetic and was very defensive in her responses. Witnesses attested to her response.

Both social workers also referred to as DCFS case workers have no children and from I could tell no understanding of childrens’ needs. My son could cry during FaceTime calls and ask for me, be injured, be separated from me, cry more at end of visits, they always had that smirk on their face when confronted by me and immediately threatened to punish me with cancelled visits for example if I continued to complain. I felt like I looked true evil in the eye each time and completely violated as a human being let alone as a loving and caring mother to my son.

Below is a photo of just one of many injuries that when I reported it to CPS was deleted. The first social worker Angela Lee deleted it as she was sent the reports for review as the active case worker. No active oversight by any agency allow social workers to cover up and do anything they want apparently including deleting criminal evidence reported to CPS. This is an injury caused by social workers or foster care giver Maurice Ingram that lasted for weeks. I was the only one treating it at visits. I asked for an immediate medical exam and visit to the ER but it was denied. My son appears to be beaten inside his legs and it caused him great pain. This injury was recurring in different areas over a period of months. With me he never had any injuries or unexplained illnesses, his entire medical record while in my care only shows a very capable and caring parent so this hurt me as much as him and I felt helpless and violated just like my son:

Los Angeles DCFS Director Bobby Cagle and Regional Adminstrators Gary Kirkland and Muzeyyen Balaban know all about this case and were sent photos of injuries they caused to my son. But they would not even allow an administrative review of this case even though proof of corruption and injuries in form of audio, video, and affidavits was provided along with a whistleblower tape by their DCFS staff member in that West Los Angeles DCFS office.
