As far as CPS goes, call the director of the agency and file a complaint. Keep making reports and threatening to go higher if necessary. Also, there should be a state office that oversees child protective service agencies. In NC, we have the Dept of Health and Human Services. Check that title to see if you have anything like that. All this information is public information on the internet. For instance, in NC you can look online and find the manual and forms we use for everything having to do with social services. Also, call your state representatives. They can and will get involved if they are harassed enough. If you can find an advocate for children with Down syndrome or children with disabilites, talk to them to see if they can offer any help or assistance. Keep making reports. Call your local media outlet as well. Let the director know you are going to the media if they do not get involved.

There are also Child Advocacy Centers in some states. Check with these, not only for the children remaining in the home but for the services they can help you and your children with to overcome what has happened to them. There are trauma-based treatment services/counseling that have been proven very effective. Hope this helps and gives you some starting places. Good Luck!!!!
