An unidentified woman in Lincoln, Nebraska, has been attempting to persuade people to let her into their homes under the guise of being a CPS worker. We, Kathey Raskin and Robert Raskin, are relieved to hear that so far this woman has not been able to gain entrance into any of these homes, but she’s still out there, and she may be still trying. You do not have to let any child protective worker into your house without demanding identification verification and contacting your lawyer!

Four Incidents in Four Weeks

The woman has approached families at four different homes asking to be let inside by asking to “talk to the parent” of the child in question, but the families refused to grant her request when she was unable to provide proof that she was in fact affiliated with the state’s DHHS organization or any other identification. DHHS is concerned about the incidents, but at the same time they have created the impression that their workers must be let into homes or else there will be repercussions.

We, Kathey Raskin and Robert Raskin, are dedicated to raising awareness of the cracks in the foundations of the organizations that are supposed to protect children. A part of what we hope to accomplish is to make families aware of what their rights are in the event that a CPS or DHR worker shows up at their door, and this frightening situation is a perfect example of why it’s crucial that you know your rights.
