Syvilla Thompson is a little girl that the Clermont County Child Service have stolen away from her home and her family. This incident began in May of 2008 when CCCS came to her home and removed her with no warrent from any Judge or any court. CCCS has been involed with her for over a year now. Syvilla's grandmother has had physical custody and guardianship over Syvilla for most of her life. CCCS had advised her grandmother to search out a place of residence for herself and Syvilla to live; whereas, She has done as advised and secured a three bedroom townhouse, in compliance with CCCS' request. As a result of the grandmother being in compliance with CCCS, the agency has now had the legal guardian, Syvilla's grandmother, in juvenile court no less than six times within the past year.
At one point, CCCS had even informed the Grandmother that she would be awarded permanent custody of the child only to have their home illegally invaded by CCCS and have the child stolen away. The Bethel Chief of Police, having escorted CCCS to the residence of the child and Grandmother, did not even investigate the matter to assure that the agency was in compliance with the laws and procedures for seizure of minor children by the state agency. Again, the agency produced no valid warrant or court orders for the removal of Syvilla from her home with her grandmother. Why is it that such agencies are permitted to bend, break and abuse the law to satisfy their own lust for power and control over innocent people?
CCCS knows that they have broken several laws regarding this case and they are now trying to cover up their illegal actions by trying to fabricate falsifications regarding the grandmother and other family and friends who are involved in this case. CCCS has even made false statements as to the grandmother having received funding for the care and upkeep of Syvilla; monies that she indeed has never received from the state or this agency for such support. Why is it that the CCCS cannot produce any copies of cancelled checks or any other form of payment that they have alleged to have paid the legal guardian for the care and living expenses for Syvilla? How can agencies such as this be permitted to abuse the laws of Ohio to satisfy their own acts of illegal child abduction without proper procedure?
Has anyone else experienced similar problems such as this with Clermont County Child Services? Please repond to this blog and share your experiences with us here. No names will be published without express consent. We have a lot more evidence against CCCS, which will be published as time follows. There are a number of people working on this case and writing and re-writing posts here. So, please be patient and check back often for any updates or additions to this posting. These people will eventually be brought to Justice for their inappropiate actions here.
Syvilla has recently been placed with a family, selected by CCCS, who live in the Clermont County area. The child is not permitted to be allowed outside to play, as normal children her age should be. When she goes to school, the school system has been instructed to not allow the child to be unsupervised or out side to play with the other children for fear (by CCCS and the foster family) that Syvilla may be taken out of this environment and rejoined to her proper family. This being the case, if CCCS had not done anything improper to remove this child from her former residence and family, why should there be any concerns by the agency or foster family that Syvilla be taken back to her former lifestyle and residence?
Had CCCS had the proper authorization to administer this seizure, there would be no legal grounds for anyone of any party to be able to place this child in a potentially harmful environment, such as her real family is supposed to be to her. Syvilla has never been in any danger whatsoever with her grandmother and other family members. She was being properly fed and clothed and provided with adequate housing to meet her needs. She was, at one time a happy child, playing and growing normally as children should be permitted. Now, with CCCS involved, Syvilla is living a miserable life only because some state agency has made false allegations regarding the child's welfare. No wonder there are so many teen and adloescent suicides; agencies like CCCs should not be permitted to bend laws and abuse the rights of our children to suit their own needs. When all is said and done, there will be some of the people, if not all involved, brought up on state and federal charges of illegal child abduction through improper channels.

I have 5 children, 2 whom live with me. My three oldest were permanently removed from my custody 9 years ago. I had a previous open case from December 1997 where my oldest son who was 3 at the time put my daughter in the bath tub when she was 8 1/2 months old and scalded her with hot water. I rushed her to the hospital and by the grace of God she was ok. Well they removed my children then because initially they claimed that I did this and filed two counts of felony child endangerment against me. When my son started having issues in foster care they then said that they knew it was not me that burned her but it was my fault due to lack of supervision -- let me tell you when this happened I was in my living room cleaning up a mess my son had made with some eggs while I was in the bathroom, my daughter was sleeping in her bassinet in my bedroom and I laid him down for a nap because he usually started acting up when he got tired. I was only out of the room for 10 mins. Max. Never did I think that he would actually hurt her, and to this day I do believe that he was simply trying to play that's all. -- Well they kept my children for 16 months while I did everything that they asked me to including taking a plea agreement, because I was told that my children could not come home until the charges were taken care of. Well on April 29, 1999 my children were returned to my custody and on May 15, 1999 I had another son. Everything was going great, we had a scheduled court date to lift the protective custody and I was finally going to be through with CPS (Clermont County Ohio). Everything was due to be final on January 24, 2000, except on December 21. 1999 my husband, who I had been with since I was 13 years old, took a gun and put it in his mouth and shot himself in our backyard. I was the one that found him and called 911, he died, I watched him bleed to death while waiting for the ambulance. I was in a total state of shock, I was devastated. I felt as if I could no longer stay there where he had done this. So CPS allowed me to go stay with my mother who lived in Northern KY. I was a train wreck and was not coping well at all. So on January 21st 2000 I left my children with my mother and went to the cemetery and took an overdose ( I know, extremely stupid) I just didn't know how to deal with all of this. Well I had to take a drug test because I was on probation for the child endangerment charges and I failed. I begged my PO to let me go check myself into the hospital I told him I couldn't deal with this. He told me if I did he would violate me and put me in prison, instead he wouldn't let me and he called CPS, who took my children on January 23rd one day before I was scheduled to go to court and 33 days after my husband killed himself. Their excuse was that I had no place to live because after what I did my mother kicked me out. They filed for permanent custody on Feb 17th and when I heard this in court I literally fell out, I went to the hospital that night and they committed me for a nervous breakdown and suicidal tendencies, for 7 days. I was diagnosed with PTS and MDD, yet that did not matter to CPS -- even though I got the children back they used the fact that they were in foster care for 16 months and said that because they were in custody for 12 out of a consecutive 22 month period they had the right to file for permanent custody. My oldest son had been diagnosed previously when this all began with PTS, RAD, and ADHD. At my permanent custody trial my sons psychologist told them that my son would never be able to bond with anyone other than me. They did not care and he has been bumped from one home to another. He was adopted in 2001 and his adoptive mother gave him back to CPS and they put him in and out of home after home, eventually (by the time he was 10) into juvenile detention. At 10 years old he was considered one of the worst children in the jail. They now have him in a therapeutic foster facility, which is basically a jail. They have institutionalized him.
ReplyDeleteI was never given the opportunity to get any help, I wasn't allowed to at first, then when I did it was too late. My younger son was adopted by his foster family in 2001 as well. His adoptive mother got her foster license through Life way (the place that gave Marcus Fiesel's murderers their license), there was never a background check done on her, she has a conviction for welfare fraud. Since the adoption her and his adoptive father have divorced and both have remarried. He lives with this woman, his adoptive father had fought continuously for custody and continues to be denied. Even though there have been numerous reports/complaints o her. When he was five his school called his adoptive father (they could not reach his adoptive mother) and told him that he had a strong odor of kerosene coming from his hair. When Tom got there he automatically smelled it and took him to the hospital, thankfully he was fine. The reason that this happened is because she did not want to pay her heating bill and made him sleep on the floor next to a kerosene heater that was leaking. A complaint was done, they claim that there was no merit to it, I guess the school and the ER was lying. Then when he was 7 he played pee wee football and during practice he broke his arm--it took this woman 5 days to take him to the hospital, again nothing was done to her and his adoptive father can not get custody. Even before all of this my son had complained to Tom and his step mother about being locked in his room as punishment and they tried to tell him you can unlock your door anytime, he told them not his, come to find out this woman reversed his door knob and would lock him in from the outside. After a year of phone calls to CPS and the fire marshal they finally went out there and made them reverse the knob and all was well. There was never a concern for the way my children were treated. They knew when they were home that they were not being abused or mistreated, yet that did not matter. My lawyer tried to show the magistrate pictures of my husband and how I found him after he had shot himself and he refused to even look or take that into consideration. I know that I am not completely innocent, I know I made horrible choices, but does that justify them removing my children forever? My family stepped up for custody, 3 family members, and two were found to be favorable, yet they still put them up for adoption. Ohio claims to be a family first state, yeah right! My younger son's adoptive father and step-mother found me and contacted me and is allowing me to takl to him and see him, praise the Lord!!! They know that a great injustice has been done, Tom told me that when they brought the kids to them at first they had told them it was temporary theat my children would be split up and that I was going to prison and would not be out until Hunter was 17--he is now 10. They said that I was involved in a murder and that no one in my family stepped up for my children. They said that my oldest son was suffering from his issues due to being the one that found my husband (bold faced lie all of it). I am in deperate need of a lawyer, I know the time has most likely passed for me to be able to get my children back, I did file appeals all the way up to the Ohio State Supreme Court and was denied. But I want to be part of their lives. I want ClermontCounty to be exposed for what they are, baby snatchers. I have had two more children since and the state of KY has found me to be more than capable of raising my two youngest children. The adoptive father of my 10 year old is willing to help in any way possible.
ReplyDeleteI love my kids, I would give my life without hesitation for them. All I want is for the people who lied and did wrong to face the consequences for their actions, the same way that I did. In court I was accused of being a prostitute for drugs and money, no truth to that at all, I don't even know where that came from. I have all my paper work and I have been searching for my children since day one. I need someone to help me, at least get this out there so that CPS can not do this to other families, more importantly other children!
