Here's the  problem as I see it.

• If you ever get involved with DHS, no mater what the issue, they assume you are guilty.
• If the police get involved, well, they want an easy arrest and will only collect evidence of your guilt and not your innocence. This is assuming that they show up.
  
• Going to court, the judge feels your guilty or why would DHS be doing this?
• If there is a prosecutor, He wants you guilty, that's his job.
• If they talk to your friends, your screwed, bend over and drop 'em. Anything said in your favor is ignored, anything said in THERE favor is kept.
• If you get a defense attorney he wants lots of money to do the paperwork. If you have money to blow this is o.k. If you get a public defender, he doesn't care because of his 1,000 other cases.

And this is why they don't have too many clock towers in Oklahoma.

Sorry lady, don't know much about Iowa law to tell you anything.  Sorry you had to go through all that.  You should have at least gotten some kind of visitation.  All I can tell you and it seems corny.  is pray.

There are good workers and poor workers out there. I personally think they need to be evaluated a lot more. I have a friend that is a DHS worker and she does a good job. She uses common sense and says alot of the kids don't even need to be there.

well, if your friend ever became a supervisor.  I may have a shot at getting a job.  Til then, I have to pray that I get interviewed by non-crooked people.  If your friend has any interviewing tips, I'd appreciate it.

Where are you interviewing at? Send me a message and I will pass your name along to her. She's been there a while.

All over basically.  To be quite honest.  Well, if you go to my myspace page you'll have my last name.

i was wondering my son has been to daycares i have took him out of because it gave me bad feeling or i heard bad stuff bout them does anyone no how i can go on the internet in look where i no that a daycare is safe n see if dhs has had to go into any daycares before

I don't know if they have anything on the internet, but they do have a book at the DHS office that you can look through and see what complaints were made and where.

Shouldn't there be something on the sites.  Oh yes, they just passed a law about an extensive background check.  Now ol David Walters won't get to work in one anymore.  Those that wonder, David Walters is a man who beat the living crap out of my cousin when she was about 2 or 3 and had to live in a body cast for a couple of months.  He works in a daycare in Tulsa now since he got out of prison.  Don't ask me which one.  I've been trying to find out myself since learning about it.  That's one of the things that wasn't disclosed to my family.
