Montgomery County Children Services

"I hang out there by their picnic tables all the time."

"Horrible !!!!! I know two children whose mother has had at least 11-13 open children services case and they still keep giving her , her children back . The two little girls told the GAL that their mother use to make them stick drugs down their panties if they ever got pulled over by a cop. And use to make them stick drugs in a Cheeto bag and eat the Cheetos if they ever got pulled over : and guess what the GAL Sarah is her name never mentioned any of this in court!!!! They told her way more than just that and they neglected them children and gave them back to mother again ! Mothers 3 month old died in her custody but supposedly it was sids , mothers had multiple drug addicted babies , also one of her baby’s she had she brought him to the hospital and have a fake name because he was born on drugs , and guess what he doesn’t have a birth certificate because they don’t even have he was born in their system. Mother had him at home ! Also mothers baby’s father died at their home and she wAs investigated for it because he was found hanging but she shot him with narcan multiple times. Well guess what mother is on drugs again and they took the children again . Most likely will give them back again !!!! But right now the kids are being passed around house to house to house ! Who let the mother take off with the kids whenever she wants !!! SMH !!! Horrible !!!! One of the girls also told the caseworker that their mother use to hide the drugs on the Cabniet and make the girls lie to them and the caseworker said “I know” Just horrible !"

"Case worker Lehman lied in court about me seeing my son for the three weeks that they were staying with my egg donor's dad and also lied to me and my fiance about helping us get into section 8 housing while failing to realize that I had him record EVERYTHING that happened during the home visits and the court date. They have also not called us back in a reasonable amount of time and are completely one-siding this entire case. She also lied in the report by saying that I'm using my disability, which is cerebral palsy, as a crutch and that I'm making up excuses for not doing certain things. She also said that my egg donor's dad has the right to disrespect me for who I am as a person by dead naming and misgendering me, knowing fully that I am female to male trans. Even my 6 year old son has corrected his grandfather. We also have every encounter with them on camera and audio and they refuse to look or listen to it and because of the level of shenanigans that are being committed, I'm in the process of trying to find YET ANOTHER JOB. She also lied about having talked to my son about who he feels safer with and also lied about talking to him about how he feels. He has told us on multiple occasions while crying hysterically that he wants to go home with me and my fiance and this was before and after they gave temporary custody to my egg donor's dad. They still refuse to listen to either of us when I had to go to the emergency room because my egg donor's dad bruised my ribs and also hurt my son. Disrespectfully, this place is a joke."

"Nothing but trouble with our case worker Shanta Chilton, if she comes to Your door as a caseworker demand a different caseworker, nothing but lies. clueless in doing her job ,all we ever hear is " I'll have to call and ask my supervisor " nothing but trouble with this lady. If you don't know how to do your job any better than that then you've got no business trying to take care of kids lives"

"No one here can communicate. At all. Kinship is an absolute nightmare and waste of time. I am glad my husband and I received custody of my niece and were told we could get assistance and then received a letter stating we make too much. Okay, fine but why was that guideline not laid out in the first place especially when the court and system required proof of income to begin with. Instead we spent 6 months waiting for that stupid letter even with me asking what the point of me filling out paperwork would be if they were just going to deny us. Had a home visit and everything! The whole system needs overhauled. Hopefully children do not suffer at the hands of the lack of organization or communication from the system. When the court gives you the information to get help because they granted you custody and then you get put through the ringer just to be denied it makes you angry. Then they wonder why family members have such a hard time taking in a child. We get no help! If we fostered another child would we get assistance??? If so, why not for a family member? I am just glad we stepped up and will continue to do our best for my niece."
