I Need Help! I Discovered Something That I Believe Is The Reason Why Cps Did Not Take My Child Nor I Seriously.

Location: Michigan If you seen my past post, you'll see that I took my ex to court for failing to protect our child from sexual abuse by his eldest son and then in turn told my son to hide it from me, then calling him a liar amonst other names when he did come out and inform me of what was continuing to happen at the hands of his eldest brother and his father enabling it. It was a battle. I had therapist testimonies to document the damage it caused him, I documented medical reports, I had a few of my ex's family members provide character statements (they did so without my asking), and I had the CPS case working take the stand to assist. It was a fiasco. With everything I presented, they asked my ex if he objected to the evidence being presented, they acted as if the entire case was a waste of time. The therapist did inform them that there was indeed harm coming to my child and it wasnt just my word against his but it was also my son describing the hurt and pain caused from being at his father's home. Everyone testified. Everyone was heard. Then it was time for CPS to take the stand. Let me tell you, before being called in for our case, she did come up to me and spoke to me as if I was the dirt under her shoes and giggled with my ex like a sponky school girl. As she sat on the stand, she took an oath. And under that oath she claimed she couldn't remember what my child said about what he had to endure at his father's home. But she couldn't find any reason to believe he wasnt safe in his care. This, the same CPS case worker that told me not 2 days before what my son said, the physical abuse he described and the emotional abuse he was forced to endure. With that testimony, the courts sided with CPS stating there was no immediate threat and ordering to continue visitation. Now, on to what I discovered. It was driving me crazy, how could someone who is supposed to enforce the safety of our children just "forget" what the abused child stated just days later? How could we trust our children to people like that? I refused to give up and needed to keep fighting for my baby. I found out with a few Google searches that I could request CPS cases and that is what I did. I requested ALL of them. They complied and I received them 30 days later, save the still active case. In every report, whether it was reported by myself or someone else. My ex would hardly speak about what he was being investigated for but spin it to blame everyone but himself. When I had to take my child to the ER because my ex called me stating our son fell off a swing and hit his head now was vomiting and sleepy, I begged him to take our son to the ER but refused because he didnt like hospitals. I drove 3 hours to pick up my son, possibly breaking every traffic law on the way. Long story short, the hospital called CPS noting that I informed them I had just picked my child up from his father's and drove straight to the ER. I remembered that home visit explicitly. I had showed the case worker the text messages of my ex refusing to take him to be seen. OUR SON HAD A CONCUSSION. In the report, my ex downplayed my son's injury and said i was crazy, saying that I had agreed it was no big deal and just a bump, that kids would be kids. He said I was schizophrenic and psychotic. That i was maybe bipolar and that was why I had changed my mind to take him in. After that, CPS noted in my file that I was emotionally unstable and not to be taken seriously. It said that right in the paperwork. With every case reported against him. Whether reported directly by me, the hospital, school officials or his family. Every single one. And in every single one, he brought up my mental state. Now, I do admit, I go to therapy. My son does as well. My son was diagnosed with trauma, ptsd, and a few others because of what his father put him through. I was diagnosed with ptsd from my relationship with him and we are working on my grief of not being able to protect my baby from that abuse. With that back story; Is there a way to file charges against my ex for defamation to the point of making CPS neglect the safety of my child? What can I do with this information? Please tell me there is something I can do to use this against him and make CPS see him for what he really is? I showed these forms to my therapist and she informed me that his deflection and defamation is clear indicators of a narcissistic personality disorder. Please help me? I'm desperate to keep my baby safe.
