Kids voice didn't hear my kids voice and didn't report to the court what kids told him .like someone said their job is to win the case they don't care about kids feelings .they lie in court they side up with the foster agency .I don't get it why they treated me like this but this agency needs to start investigating the cases of these children and see what's going on .at first I thought maybe I was me cuz I lost my kids but after doing everything the court asked me to do and after this last case when they know the truth they still fought me in court even thought in my case they are the only one who been in in my case from the beginning.i was hurt to see the lies in court and my son voice wasn't heard .it is all about money and not the wellbern of the children. They shouldn't name it kids voice cuz the kid voice is not heard .shamefull sometimes I think kids voice attorney had a problem with they own family so they do their best to make sure the parents lose .in my experience
I wish i knew about this agency sooner when i first entered cyf because my family didnt care about me. Ron Phillips and Susan Abramowhich were amazing at their jobs. Ron made sure all his clients were taken care of and he would come see us on how days off just to see of we needed anything. Great agency
I Don't understand this system and how it works. In a case that is known to me, just didn't seem right. It involved children of two different families. The father and his family and the mother and her family. One of the parents hurt the child. Kids voice would tell the other family one thing and then turn around and tell us something different. They are very backstabbing and they lie. They do not stick up for the children at all. They don't even know how the children feel. They tell the judge lies just to win their case. I truly believe it all comes down to money. Because our families are not low income people or families that are dysfunctional, they could get more money out of us than to give the children back. They really only care about winning. But it's really not winning at all. It's rather sickening. They were prejudiced to us. One of the parents went to jail for the abuse committed to the child. The other parents charges were dropped and yet they did not get the children back. Kid's voice would rather have these children with relatives instead of the parent and family members the care deeply for the children. And the children are very saddened by this and and have much anxiety and are heartbroken. The children just want to be home with a parent not a relative especially since it was proven one parent did nothing wrong. All I can do is pray that one day Kis Voice will put the children first.
KidsVoice is an agency that is supposed to be for the children of the child protective system. I have personally found that statement to be sadly false. I have voiced many concerns to the foster child's attorney, for the issues to be constantly overlooked, disregarded, and blatantly dismissed. Phone calls go unreturned. Home visits get skipped. Requested services rejected. Emails were ignored. When calls and emailed were finally addressed, the staff were very condescending and gaslighted foster parents to suggest they are being "difficult" caregivers. The only way to have issues swiftly resolved is to call CYF Directors Action Line, who provided contact info for the individual who oversees complaints for KidsVoice. Based on my experience with this agency, this is just a job for many employees. It is crystal clear that it has been forgotten that these children of the system are our future and deserve better! Hopefully, KidsVoice staff are never put in the position to have a circumstance that causes one to have to sit across the table, deal with the agency, and see what kidsVoice truly represents... which is a disservice to already vulnerable children. Update 2023: Recently, I had to utilize kids voice for help with some legal issues that my child got caught up in. I found out that a prior child in the system could seek help from kids voice up until the age of 25. I was impressed on the quick response that I received. I filled out the contact form online and within a hour... I received an email response and a phone call which was well after their office closing time. The attorney didn't rush me and answered all of my questions while putting me at ease for my family vacation that was the next day. By the next afternoon I received all necessary paperwork via email and could electronically sign all documents. It was that easy to retain a KV attorney for my child. Within 2 more days, the KV attorney started handling the court paperwork. Although, I had a terrible experience in the past... I am honestly very impressed with the assistance I have recently received. I wanted to be fair and review the good and not just the bad experience!
Puts the needs of their clients innocent children last, doesn’t follow through with anything including court orders, and 100% part of the problem.
I really don't understand what they do. I have my grandson who I have been fostering for over a year now. Kids voice represent him in court but if I sent them a picture of him they would not know what he looks like or who he even is. They have done nothing for him and show up in court and tell the judge lies and for what why are they keeping him from his mother who has done everything asked of her and after being out of jail, found a place, and has custody of her other children Something is not right here and I am going to get to the bottom of it, even if I need to take this to the news and get a lawyer to fight them.
Dawn was a terrible lawyer for my friend’s grandchildren. She represented the children poorly, and did not seem to be concerned with getting the children back to their mother. I don’t think she had the children’s best interest at heart at all, sadly!
They are about the safety and wellbeing of the kids... hence the name.. there's going to be some naysayers because they don't get their own way. Kids are a gift, not just a piece property. If you have problems you can get help. But kids need someone to speak up and fight for their rights on their behalf.
Defames you in court. Has witnesses twist words. Then makes fun of you. I guess these fresh out of school attorneys think they know what is best for a child and ruin your reputation to do it. Great job Kids Voice. You are in no way for the kids.
I really enjoyed the cleanliness of my suite & the customer service at the front desk was excellent
