Advice
2 years of not even hell
I haven’t slept all night… Today marks two years of infernal unjust treatment in the ‘country where dreams come true and laws work’. Where everyone relied on the liberal Kamala bring voted for, our not having a family and stating all by ourselves for 27 years, for me being afraid to deal with CPS since Massachusetts DCF experience, for Shasta being so rough and swampy that noone would care…
Noone did care indeed. But things look much worse. Redding is not red. Shasta is a child trafficking cartel. Justice and Constitution are non existent in family and dependency court. A ‘conservative’ judge does not mean a fair and non biased one. A renowned attorney does not mean victory-only that your death as a parent is more painful and expensive and retaliation is guaranteed.
We have been judged from the very beginning and up to today: for being immigrants, for helping Ukraine, for speaking English, for not speaking English, for being Ukrainians, for being just like every Ukrainian is, for being non affirming, for speaking out, for posting about this horror story, but most of all we have had to pay for …not having experience or knowledge in how the corrupt child ‘welfare’ works, in what cahoots lawyers, judges, influencers, schools, medical, mental and official government institutions work.
We were severely condemned by our what we thought initially were our [American] friends about an incorrect behavior on the removal day:
we opened the door
we spoke with Nelson
we got emotional
we let our daughter go
Now let me share a few pages of a parental Bible I believe every parent must read in these turbulent time when the pride cult is still very strong Miriam Grossman’s Lost in Transnation. I will share Vernadette Broyle’s chapter about how to deal with Child Protective services when they come- something we historically do not have in our country, something that nobody told us about and let me comment on them after these are published:
Isn’t it just an ideal bubble?.. For our American friends who were born and raised with this ‘culture’ knowing every step they must take and every word they must say when God forbid these people knock on your door.
What about immigrants? What about people that lived in the USSR times, went through horrible hunger, with their ancestors surviving a few wars and presently being at one? What about us having NO family in the United States? Having drastically different languages, patterns, intonation, traditions for God’s sake?
I like the phrase on p 248 about finding the right attorney BEFORE CPS comes. Hahaha.
Just imagine the two people that had all that life experience [that Mandy Moore the SW supervisor stamped as TRAUMA! and she screamed that at the 5th CFT we had with them] they never wanted their children to have, came to this country, again, as they, we heard ‘where dreams come true and laws work’ to…work hard day and night, do our best to provide for our beloved children, build our talents and careers to…be completely destroyed, humiliated, financially drained and forced out of our home, the county and the state of California?
We did not know what to say, how to behave because the betrayal we discovered in her room with Sager, markymoo, Transhausen by proxy Maggie and Dougherty was too painful bringing back the horrible and agonizing Massachusetts experience and her being unsafe…again.
We did know what was awaiting us -as exhausted from all these moves and escapes parents, we did need a break from our daughter’s unaddressed by Sager mental issues we believe they were, from her BPD horror moments only we know what those were after the MA bullying and in Redding CA, from selling and buying homes for HER safety and conditions to study and move on, from paying for lawyers in both states…Futile. We did not know what crucifixion and ‘gas chamber’ was waiting for us that is not actually over as I am typing this…
We and apparently other even American parents did not know all loops and intricacies of the ‘no due process’ that dependency judges misuse and abuse for the absence of parents’ knowledge in the courtroom and especially deadlines and tricks they use now we know…
We did not know that public defenders handle about 200 cases in that kangaroo court that parents do not get to speak with them for a few months after the cps ordeal has hit…
We did not know that judges, CPS, and foster ‘care is one business not interested in a child going back to her parents-then Title 4 E and D will not pump into the treasury…
We did not know what our famous lawyer and subsequently two other local CA attorneys were supposed to have done right at the very start and that they are also part of the system.
We did now know that our then innocent daughter had been prescribed birth control, was sharing the same bed with her classmate, was underfed, did not have matching conditions and had a pregnancy test taken and a visit to a female sexual health clinic - under CA laws, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!
We did not know that we were thrown into the CACI index as my CA atty said ‘all dependency cases go there’ and other parents were not. We are still there with no possibility to get out no matter what we do. Because they can and parental lawyers help them!
We did not know that we could have appealed but were coerced by our lawyers on Feb 2 2024 to agree to BNI facility treatment we had to pay with our insurance $5000 a day and having been blocked by them right from the start.
We did not know that our famous lawyer took our case only because of the rich Bethel cult church that is now engaged in the sex scandal. We did not know that there was ex parte.
We did not know that CLC was roofed by the ‘cream of society’ including the chief sheriff, the two superintendents of all schools, the former mayor of Redding and the CEO of it Kim Johnson was not only at the head of it but also of the One Safe Place and had two ministeries in Bethel.
We did not know that Sager had been calling our daughter a male name since Feb 2025 and ‘encouraging’ her into the trans ideology behind out backs.
We did not know that CLC retains the same law firm Prentice&Long for themselves and CPS cases and its chief counsel Margaret Long is the Shasta county supervisor’s Allen Long’s wife and CPS county counsel in two or three more neighboring counties where our then lawyers also had cases. She was sending threats by the way
just like was the Phoenix Charter school principal Dougherty and a handwriting ‘specialist’ with 40 years of experience.
We did not know that it was ok for the judge to send our daughter’s youth council Horan on vacation and make himself unavailable when she needed him - when a critical hearing was supposed to have been scheduled- to have the case delayed more and more, for our daughter to get alienated more and more and to get [her and the ‘case’] aged out.
We did not know that DVROs, TROs and the emancipation petition had been filed and found them accidentally when came to court to claim a written court order based on which CPS was rushing to implement it without being written and us having been familiarized with it…
We did not know that foster youth and our daughter got/ are overmedicated to suborn perjury in court and get retaliated upon by the CPS ‘happy doctor’, in fact she is not even a doctor-Lindsay Bloom who had no problem to cancel our daughter’s Zoloft 100 mg cold turkey under Horan, Szephegyi and Moore’s ‘oversight’.
We did not know that all medical entities work with CPS and as soon as a CPS foot stomps on their territory, everyone by commands surrender, like the Mercy Babcock, for instance or Shasta CHC.
We did not know what it would take me at least 6 months before I would get to open us my mouth on the witness stand and dad-a year and a half later…
We did not know that they had wanted our son too at the very beginning…
We did not know that CPS don’t do their due diligence or return their emails when they do not want to. Because they can.
We did not know that ‘Nobody’d gonna do that!’ will be the motto not only of Shannon Anderson the CPS program manager but of the entire ‘case. Also, it is a part of their NEVERENDING LYING - only look the below came in yesterday
We were judged by everything about us neither of them had any intention to work with us although we did try for our daughter’s sake, despite the fact that this ‘case’ was pure fabrication by Sager, Nelson and accepted by Molly Bigelow - I mean only read this retardation-
no matter how incorrect we acted on the day of her removal, we did everything to get our daughter back. We went through severe judgement, libel, discrimination, tons of humiliation, mockery, immediate demonization and stigma my Redding locals we regarded friends, tons of ambushes, enormous payments, threats, we are are still waking up in cold sweat nightmares, we forgot how the food tastes, we are hiding in another state and yesterdays mail I picked up confirmed what I had learned:
This was filed upon our entry to Florida:
In the same May 6 2026 Szephegyi and Moore wrote and signed:
We were not allowed to the DVRO hearing by our famous attorney. See what CPS wrote:
At that Sep 23 2025 hearing, judge Bigelow openly praised and greenlighted our daughter to refile DVROS and this is what happened last Feb 2026…unbeknownst to us again.

Look, they are not even hiding they did this for money:
Just for now. Good advice?
Nah, this one is better [but I have more]


























I am really sorry for what you are going through, prayers for your family. I am not shocked to hear about Bethel Church being involved, I have heard similar stories about them before. Keep fighting and stay strong.
