A couple of years back I had a little friction with a buddy of mine, I knew if I spoke with him directly I might create some kind of chain reaction because I felt offended, but knowing the state of my mind and emotions at that moment, I was wise not to speak to him in person. I picked up a pen and sheet of paper and scribbled some words, my emotions flocking into my writing. Read through it and immediately knew that I had to write with more ethics, I wrote another and sent it to him via the post.
We settled our differences a week later, and everything went on smooth. Three years later he sent me a text thanking me for the letter I had sent, I was surprised!, I had forgotten about all that already, apparently he stumbled on it and it brought back strong memories.Written communication are powerful and indeed very much powerful than spoken communication in many scenarios. Even after years it is still traceable, accountable for and undeniable, a single word never changes, what written remains constant and will definitely not be interpreted out of context like verbal conversation. My previous post found HERE resonated the great need of getting your attorney on your case as early as possible, right before you have any verbal interrogation from a caseworker, and also the need for your attorney to always be with you at every point of the way. Sadly, as great this might sound, it might actually not be possible for your attorney to be with you at every sitting due to nature of their job . Your caseworker might actually decide to take advantage of this loophole.
You remember the story about me and my friend right, when I said written words are much more accountable, constant and uneasy to read out of context, how I thought carefully to write more ethically?, that is the beauty of communicating with your caseworker in this manner when your attorney is not on seat with you.
Passing through this route will make your caseworker act and behave in a more professional manner, they would be so careful to write anything or even demand anything from you that is typically against your parental and legal rights, since the worker knows that you have documentation of every conversation you have with them. The truth becomes obvious, they won't get that freedom to coerce you into signing off your rights and other sneaky strategy they tend to implement when they speak to you directly. Their coercion, lies, psychological twist and the use of your emotions against you will be at bare minimum compared to vocal communication, till when your attorney comes around. .
At that degree of accountability, there are more than 100 eyes watching them, written communication are a solid way to work with a CPS caseworker when your attorney would be absent. A good attorney would always be a strong middle man between his client and the rest of the opposing world. This strategy is much more very useful for parents passing through an emotional distress and strive, it is better not to speak directly to them when you are not in the right state of mind due to CPS prying into your home. You can speak to them when you are emotionally sound but I greatly advice to refrain from talking to them directly without your attorney. .
Every single letter, mail, texts, emails and every written document should be documented, I am 100% sure you will get to use them when the need arises, when a caseworker probably want to get deviously smart with you.
I hope this tip would be of help to anyone facing CPS today or in the future and please "DO SEEK THE ADVICE OF A LEGAL PRACTITIONER in your area". Keep loving and protecting your children, nothing is more important!

Thank-you @kryptocoin !
I had not thought before of telling them that I would communicate by email instead of speaking orally,
That is a very good idea.
And if they want to talk to me one-on-one my lawyer would have to be present.
One thing is for sure,
people can not assume that because they have nothing to hide and are innocent, that they are safe letting those family-destroying monsters into their homes.
They WILL try their hardest to find some type of shortcoming that they can use against you, to get your children taken away.
They absolutely are not at your home to make sure that your child(ren) is safe -- they are there to snatch them away from you any tricky way that they can.
Thanks again for talking about this.
It is so important for people to know about this.

Yeah, they are people we can't assume will ever ever bring forth any goodness to the table, so its better we don't have them come into our home. A lady I spoke with told me they went as far as to scrutinize her past life(17 years ago), despite the fact that she has been very sound for more than 17 years now!. Well, we will keep sensitizing the mind of those around us.
Thanks @canadian-coconut for your comment and great support for families out there.

This is great advice and it should be standard practice when dealing with legal kidnappers.
I really appreciate the effort you are putting into spreading awareness on this subject and it feels good to have you on our side.
Bless.

Absolutely, reducing direct communication with them is a great way to impeding them. Thank you @markwhittam for your words of encouragement and I am glad to be here.

My brother is a criminal defense attorney and he says never, ever, EVER talk directly to a government employee. Not even a teacher. If you must, record it.

This is a great post @kryptocoin, this is so true as via emails and letters the CPS caseworkers have to be seen to follow certain professional standards that the otherwise would get away with face to face. Some really good advice here, something that seems simple but when you are in the middle of any experience with the CPS you are not likely to think of. Thanks for sharing.

That is why we need to be very conscious of all this and maintain a great "self control and critical analysis" whenever we deal with them, Relaxing and rising above them. Thanks @trucklife-family for taking time to read through and your comment

There are quite a few things I wish I had got in writing over the last few years. If it's dealings with cps get it all on paper. My ex partner had a kid in care I read his file. They put all sorts of negative stuff on record about you, make sure you have your defence on paper too. Good luck

@viraldrome, Very true, we need to be our own defenders first , before others can, documenting everything that happens is a first walk towards self-defense. Thanks
