1) Re: 2008 Senate Bill 1418 (Revise child abuse case procedures ) [by anonym on December 16, 2008]I would post all the names of who voted for this bill in the Senate to all the families in Michigan that suffer the false accusations by the CPS and by their ex-spouses. I bet that it would change the next election and these persons will not be elected again.

This bill is not good. The law makers should realize that CPS is adding in their investigative reports just hearsay with no actual proof. Therefore, this allows the other parent just make a numerous false calls to CPS and thus, gain the custody ... JUST BECAUSE there are numerous false reports in CPS files!!!!!! Whose bright idea this bill was? do they not even think about this.
Also CPS should not be allowed to write down hearsay without a concrete proof of evidence. Just hearsay is no proof.
Now they can put you to their Central Registry with NO ACTUAL PROOF and even when there is proof that you are innocent. CPS has lied in Michigan and seems to be able to continue doing so still until some law maker will take a real action. There should be audits more frequently of the CPS procedures and actions. They also do discriminate foreigners in their procedures and just because (to quote a CPS supervisor in MIchigan) " they do not have to know state law, federal law or immigration law"
This is the agency that you allow distroy families and now allow the hearsay and lies to affect the custody rulings, too.
UNBELIEVABLE! Michigan seems to become more of state of nazis and CPS dictatorship than a democracy.

Yes Preponderance of Evidence is important, but at the lowest level for Family and Administrative Courts.
However, you need to do your legal homework and find out how this information can be presented a evidence and not just hearsay.
