Edmund D. Edelman Children's Courthouse - Monterey Park, California

Ophelia BM

The judges here threatened me constantly over adoption. I'm indigenous. I didn't do anything to harm my child, the "witnesses" admitted that I court, I'm one of the top minds in the country, yet here I have to endure people laughing that I can't take this to tribal court because Zacatecas isn't protected by law. The accusations against my character escualted from harassment online. My daughter is Corey Rebhahn's (Morgue's child) I've done everything to contact them as their abusive coworkers filed reports on me when I went public about my daughter's heritage. I've done everything to contact them with no avail, just this case. They put me on monitored visits because I said I needed to move out of the area I've been hate crimed in. They took my daughter over my witchcraft even being blantantly racist against my altar for my deceased angel calling her a fetus, her name is River. They have no problem ignoring that fact my child has had bruises multiple times, that I'm slowly being cut off from talking to her so she is caving into their starving and screaming at her if she shows we have a bond... I was set up by DCFS so they could sell my child to a crazy woman who they insisted I hire as babysitter then attempted to give my daughter away to her as her "attorneys" talk ill on me, pressure my child into disrespecting me or they told her due to my health, if she stays with me "I'll die" that I deserved to have this woman April attack me, that my daughter who can't even sleep in her own bed doesn't love me. My daughter is a shell of who she used to be. If Morgue knew about their daughter, this wouldn't be happening. Morgue writes books meanwhile thei coworkers mispell, pretend to be them as I looped them into that DCFS is starving my baby. She still isn't fed enough and thinks it's okay. The department excuse is the anger that this has provoked in me, or the fact she wasn't in school in a bad and expensive area even though she is only four and not six, that her bruises are her "falling" as she repeats less and less everything she is told bad about me as the monitors pressure me into not listening to my own child's concerns, as she thinks I don't love her because I can't get a hold of her more than twice a week though my calls are everyday as upper management stops my case worker from talking to Morgue in person, Morgue isolates and lets everyone take care of sht for them, I know the man I've been in love with for eleven years, yet April contacted their coworkers to file a report on me to begin with. The detention report justified police coming at all hours at the night shining lights in my window in all black clothes scaring my daughter from coming home, the only neighbors they got feedback from openly would threaten and harass us both, as they made fun of me for loving and caring for her father.
They threatened me to stop speaking out but it's the only thing protecting my child. When I post on social media for my job, I mysteriously miss calls and visits, the department has taken 32, each time my daughter clearly traumatized from the brainwashing her foster mother Jasmine uses. Upper management stopped from transferring her from her meanwhile my accounts are hacked if I log into DCFS wifi as they attack my body and the post of April attacking me, this court house is a joke. The moment I came here they were already threatening another clearly indigenous mom with adoption and no white parents are here. I'm a tarot reader and Heyoke for a living, the most destroyed clients I've had have been destroyed by the system ignoring their abusive white parents. Meanwhile there has been a serious of murders in my life that can easily be directly linked to DCFS. They are selling kids to laboratories for research and ignoring the pedofile rings that they profit off of selling the missing kids too. The survivors are either killed, forced into addiction, homeless, or their kids are attacked in an endless cycle of profit against child welfare. I am a survivor. But I'll be damm to sit in my a33 without a fight. Y'all are delusional.

DCFS and this court remains the underbelly of hypocrisy as it pertains to the best interests of our children. A disgustingly incompetent legal process that has been destroying families for decades. A place where liars and deceivers thrive, as children's lives are decimated one day at a time. How this Courthouse, and its proxy affiliates remain in business is the exact same process as the military industrial complex of our country identified by Dwight Eisenhower 70 years ago. This undeniable scam of a so-called legal process remains beyond suspect and deeply concerning.

I repeat with emphasis, the perpetuation of liars who dominate this system, without any oversight to such never ending falsehoods is a scar on this country's judicial system. Newly minted judges with ZERO experience in Family Law making life altering decisions for our children with utter incompetence and ill will mostly towards fathers. We need to stand up as a county and stop systems like this one. The erosion of our families and specifically our precious young children must be stopped with prejudice and serious consequences to those that, knowingly or unknowingly, comprise our children with their wildly ignorant conclusions.

It's the citizenry of this country that must put an end to this madness of such a corrupt system of judicial absurdity. The glaringly obvious dysfunctional nature of this judicial branch has no credibility amongst any family with that has a high school education. This court preys on the lowest common denominator of our citizens such as those that have been deprived of any legitimate opportunity to get a proper education. And to top it off, there is no measure of accountability to hold this pathetic legal process in check, for it is a dictatorship led by cowards, liars and thieves.

A place where facts don't matter and lives are ruined. Reunification is set up for failure and people in power profit off of other peoples heartbreak and more harm is done than actual help. Rights will be violated and the system is to broken to even fix. No point in doing a case plan because kids don't ever return back to the parents that they were taken from because if they did return they would track that data . Reunification also means adoption,kinship,and Foster care that is reunification it doesn't mean reunify with parent because permancy means relative reunification. If reunification was real and the goal was to return kids to there parents then they would have 1 lawyer to represent the family as a whole. Truth is more kids =more funding and job security for them so of course they want our children and trust me good parents do end up here because the law doesn't apply and not clearly defined so in the end families are forced into separation and it's a shame that there is no accountability for mistakes made by these so called professionals who pretend to care about your children.abuse of power is what really happens don't be manipulated into thinking that they care and if you do what they say everything will be fine. Best advice record all interactions with all people you come into contact with this is for your protection and the child's protection. Get a 3 ring binder save every piece of paper that is mailed or given to you . If they were actually saving children from bad parents then csw wouldn't mind being recorded because it would benefit her ,but these public officials all lie and cover up for eachother they refuse to be recorded but do it anyways . Because they fake documents trust me I know I have family that work at dcfs . If you test make sure you get a secondary test so you can prove that your test is legit and that they are the ones guilty of abuse and fraud. Define all key terms and number codes that are said in your case if you pay attention and break it down you will realize it is all B.S and unfortunately there is no happy ending. They don't even Follow their own policy or the law sad but true . Do your research . research Nancy Schafer and you will soon learn how corrupt the system actually is. No oversight or accountability so they can do as they please proceed with caution because this place is not just for bad kids or bad parents because they are in the business of taking kids away from good parents too because it all revolves around money and services that they want you to join but completion doesn't mean return so don't be a fool. Look at the bigger picture and perhaps services may be needed for some people but I have learned that people in power don't care about the truth they will coverup their mistakes and violate parents rights to protect themselves .lawyers are not there to advocate for your family. Kids don't go back not because dcfs is right or because kids are abused but it is because of the money. Dcfs = devastating.children. forcing.separation.

If I could give this place no stars I totally would. My beloved beautiful children were taken away 2015 and my parental rights were officially terminated in 2018 due to a cold hearted judge named Michael Whitaker who hates families and wants to tear them up. I want to start a movement called the Come Back Home movement similar to Black Lives Matter but to expose the lies of DCFS and the Children's Courts. The system gets $6,000 per child and they are so quick to deny your visitations and quick to adopt. I had a social worker by the name of Anjali Singh out of the West Valley DCFS office in Chatsworth who falsified court documents or reports presented to the judge saying we were unfit parents despite us actually doing the court ordered classes and therapy sessions. For this reviews who say you got your kids back you either got lucky or are not the primary parent on the case . My children were taken away due to domestic violence between their dad and I and they only gave us 6 months to get our children back by doing marital counseling, individual counseling for myself, and a dv program for the victims for their dad. We went back and they still were not satisfied even though we did what they asked from us. I'm sick and tired of the corrupt system breaking up families and not really caring about the children's welfare. If anyone is interested in joining me and bringing a class action lawsuit against dcfs and children’s court ,please feel free to reach out via ig @divinequeenb7 and Facebook look for Bianca Rose.
