Can You Sue the State for Not Stopping Abuse

[mommyof4angels]

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Alaska for years worth of negligence involving children's safety and mental stability. I have an abundance of paperwork showing the negigence to be true. Giving a man and his family many chances to abuse and neglect children of all ages. Even one judge I may not name quite yet giving the said man full sole custody of two young children after knowing of a safer place to put the children and the same judge having suspicion of criminal incest and lying on the stand. As well as OCS neglecting the children's safety by also giving said man and family many chances after knowing of a safer place for the children to be. Both children were abused physically and maybe sexually as well as mentally to this day. Even tho OCS has custoday of these children as of February 11th, 2013, the reports go as far back as 2006. Please help... I am a low income mother who currently lives in Oregon and my children have been in danger and I have proof of it. My children have been neglected and abused by their father and family as well as the state and I have been fighting for them since 2006 with no criminal record, no child protective services reports, a place of my own, and a single mother of two younger children. The state needs to be held accountable for their negligence and with hopes this doesn't happen again. As well as pay for all the mental health my children will need once this is over.

It is unlikely that you will be able to sustain ANY claim against the state or a court for taking whatever actions were taken unless you can demonstrate a continued and knowing intentional disregard for the safety of the children in question, and that is almost certainly not going to happen. Courts are free to consider the options presented to them and render decisions based upon the information presented. A judge is granted a great amount of leeway in this regard.

That being said, if you are attempting to do this by yourself, you will fail. If this is something that you truly believe you have evidence demonstrating intentional misconduct, you really need to speak with an attorney. Understand that it is highly unlikely that you could get an attorney to take such a case on contingency so you will have to be prepared to fork out tens of thousands of dollars just to proceed. Unless you can join with an advocacy group with sufficient deep pockets that agrees that your case is one that could be a winner, this is an expensive joust at a windmill.

So, start consulting attorneys so that you can get an idea of what you might face and what your real legal options might be. I suspect you will be in for a heck of an eye-opener as what you believe you possess as evidence is likely insufficient to even sustain a claim against a single judge, much less the state of Alaska.
