Toccoa, GA asked in Libel & Slander, Family Law, Civil Rights and Juvenile Law for Georgia

Q: If I can prove perjury from the report by a CPS worker that got my children taken away will the whole case be dropped?

I have evidence that the Child protective services case worker who made the report after having my children removed from my custody lied in the report to justify her actions. Not only do I have documentation proving her lies, but I also have eye whitnesses to the entire incident when she took my children into custody. I want justice for my children and justice for other families that have been affected by this case workers lies and decit. she has taken advantage of her position and is not right.

A: If you can demonstrate that based on the cases workers lies, the children would not have otherwise been deemed dependent, you may be able to get your case dismissed. You need to consult with an attorney to discuss your allegations and options moving forward. An attorney should be appointed to you in the dependency action.
