Nothing substantiated, CPS doesn't have to have facts or evidence.

Malia has disclosed that her father (Jacob M. Sadro) is molesting her. CPS caseworker Cherrie Mooney chose to disregard her statement. CPS chose not to investigate the father, CPS came after me.
I was never notified that I was being investigated. I was neever offered any services to keep Malia home with me. Cherrie Mooney called me late in the day on November 6th, 2013 to tell me I needed to appear in court the next afternoon. I asked her what was going on and she told me I could find out when I got there. I asked if I need an attorney and she said "No, but you can bring a SUPPORT person if you want."
Malia told her counselor that she saw pictures of girls sucking on guys penises and she drew 5 pictures for him. The officer Detective Darrin Siemen, did not interview her and no forensic was done at a center. The only person that spoke to her was Cherrie Mooney. Malia told the CPS worker daddy kissed her privates. Ms. Mooney asked where her clothes were. Malia said "my pants were by my knees". She told her about the pictures on the phone and daddy sleeping with her and he was naked. Worker decides that she was coached. One person, the one that should protect her doesn't believe her. Ms. Mooney had her removed from me, the one trying to keep her safe.
Why would the caseworker do this? No one can find the answer. Attorney's, other CPS workers that I know, a prosecutor, a P.I., counselors, family, neighbors, advocates - no one.
Since they nor I can find the answer, there must not really be a clear one. Some speculate it's personal, the CPS worker has it in for me. Why would she? I don't know her, I have never done anything to her.
There are many ideas but as of right now it is all speculation.
The reason doesn't matter to me so much, what bothers me is Malia is gone.. She no longer has me to protect her, hold her or support her. Malia is completely isolated from everyone and everything she knew and loved.
She is so brave telling the secret. What did telling her secret teach her? It taught her that she wasn't believed. It taught her that she would pay for telling. Malia was taught that she can trust no one and will never truly be safe. When Malia told she was suddenly removed from her world, she was thrown into a world full of strangers and strange things. Malia was isolated and alone.
CPS worker lied in court.The points on the removal petition had information that was over 2 years old, most was over 3 years old. They built a case on lies and their own thoughts. They have absolutely nothing to substantiate this. They did nothing to try and keep her home with me. This is what Ms. Mooney told the court that DHS had done to keep her in my home "our ---our numerous investigations,the police investigations, the psychological exams, the Child Advocacy Center interviews, and there has been counseling.
 For the record the last psychological assessment done involving this case was in March of 2013. The evaluation was done on Malia and it took 20 minutes. Malia spent 20 minutes with Randall Christiansen and he was able to determine in that amount of time that Malia did appear hypersensitive or quick to be victimized. All other evaluations and assessments were done years earlier. There were no current ones. No new attempts were brought to my attention. I was not asked to participate in any form of treatment to keep Malia in my home.
Ms. Mooney referred to a three year old evalution that I had done. She took one sentence from it "that great care should be taken to seriously investigate any accusations that it says she makes". (She being me) Ms. Mooney was asked this "In reading the psychological evaluations for Mary Jo Roggenbuck, was it your overall understanding that the psychological evaluator had concerns that she may be coaching Malia based on that sentence you just stated?" Mooney responded "Yes".

Ms. Mooney wanted Malia placed in NON-relative foster care and this was her reason. "I think we -- we will be looking at relatives, but right now a lot of relatives I'm not sure -- a lot of them have heard what might have happened with Malia and believe that it did happen, so I'm not sure what a -- what relative would be objective. She needs to be in a home that is objective and so she can feel free to care for her dad and her mom and not favor one or the other."

Ms. Mooney did not have clear and convincing evidence, she did not try and keep her in the home. Ms. Mooney wasn't even open to consider relative placement.
Ms. Mooney stated in court that she was uncertain if Jacob Sadro sexually abused Malia. Ms. Mooney did state that it was a big concern that I may be giving Malia information. Yet nothing in her testimony or the petition indicate Malia said I told her to say these things.
The petition also requested that my 16 year old daughter be removed. She has a different father and has never disclosed any form of abuse from any party. THe attorney for her father asked "What does that have to do with any physical or mental harm to ****** by staying with her mother? Ms. Mooney paused for a long time and said "I don't know."

When Ms. Mooney was asked about Malia disclosures her response was "We don't always look at the verbal, we have police investigations, we have physical exams, there's other proof other than somebody saying it".
Again why are children encouraged to tell, to seek help when the verbal is not enough?

Everything amounted to them setting an emergency hearing and taking her. That is the beginning, middle and end to them trying.

CPS can take anyone's child for any reason. Everyday CPS and our courts rip children away from good mothers. I want to know why it is so easy for them. I want to know who will investigate this. I want answers for my baby.

  1. I live your frustration too. DCF is the name here in Mass. The workers are so unprofessional and so easily manipulated especially by fathers.

  2. Family court/law did the same to my daughter. She no longer felt safe. She no longer trusted she had any kind of protection and lost all security in life. The law no longer did what is right or was a place to turn if help was needed. We have really created a monster in our lives that gives this kind of message to our children. Shameful. Those who haven't had this monster directly touch their lives yet, will. If it could happen to us, it can happen to you. I suggested the CDC look into the teen suicide rate and document how many have been jammed into the system via CPS and/or high conflict custody battles. Now they need to research how many of these angry young men shooting groups of people have been affected by this.
