Leontyne Harris does not follow court orders and is too lazy to actually advocate for children or parents. She seems all too happy to see the parents of her wards locked up so she doesn’t actually have to manage her caseload. She’s a shining example of the lowest common denominator working in a children and families related field. She’s what’s wrong with family court in this state. She thinks she’s qualified to give psych evaluations and ignores the delicate lives that sway in the balance of her poor decisions.

I was able to get my fingerprints in minutes. I made an appointment and I was walked in right on time. The place was so clean that it smelled clean and everyone wore masks.

I been battling for almost 4 years. And I have talked to 3 different social workers for my nieces and nephew and 1 who was in the case but I never met her and during a zoom called for the case they stated I never wanted to take over my nieces and nephew. I never spoke to this social worker that they mention. People lie in this agency so that they can keep kids in the system and let the foster parent choose if the kids can talk to their family and not. I am telling my story so the people know I am with you all! because I realize they are doing this to so many family that don’t want your money for the kids! It’s sad how foster system is suppose to reunite families. Instead they break them. Swearing on a bible to lie. God knows everything you are all doing and he will do his part with you that keep kids away from their family. This goes out to a battle for the Mora kids.

My Overall process was a ok, I had a lot of questions took some time to gain understanding however my advocate and case worker took the time to get me the correct answers. Things can move fast in the beginning then get slower so you’ll need patience, ask every question that comes to mind and be patient some more. The outcome is a sweet reward. To love ❤️ Someone in need and be loved in return is priceless.

When youre hearing time is passing & youre still in the waiting area...the receptionist blatantly says Theyre always late & continues working. Its kinda interesting watching their non-sensored entrance door close on people & almost cause injuries. A lawsuit waiting to happen.

This place is a major joke. I spoke with the supervisor Dawn W. She is a mean, angry, bitter, and hateful woman. She tries to use your power and authority to demeanor mothers thats trying to do the right thing and get their children out of their wicked system. They are not supportive of any of the black mothers or mothers that they feel have no support or is less fortunate and cant afford an attorney. I am going to make an example out of her. She really have no clue as to whom she is dealing with. Dawn W. is a bully and I dont like it. She is rude and very disrespectful, and very prejudice. I recorded our conversation and this will go higher. Be careful on the people that you try to hurt. It will come back to bite you in your butt. Never look down on someone because you feel that they have no support.

Be very careful. Always be extremely polite, as they re very quick to label you uncooperative or troublesome, just for acting like an actual, caring parent. Do not agree to do anything that is not court-ordered. They will tell you it will help your case move forward faster, this is not true. They will act like they are your friends and on your side, do not be fooled. Their job is to sign you up for as many many hours of programs and classes as they can as that creates money and jobs which is how their company survives. The entire system, CPS, childnet, dependency court, foster homes, caseworkers, lawyers, everyone and everything to do with this survives by taking our children from us,And keeping them in the system as long as possible. Always always be friendly, and anything that is court ordered, do it as soon as possible. But I urge you to be careful, document/record every single call and conversation, and make sure to run absolutely everything by your lawyer. If your lawyer is not willing to fight for you, you can request a different one. You have to fight for your children. Always always be as kind and polite as possible, do as much as you can to act and show them that you are doing everything to get your child back where they should be, with you in their own homes, but be very wary, and only do what is court ordered. ALWAYS tell them you need to check with your lawyer before you agree to ANYTHING. And make sure you do so. Otherwise they will have you doing years of classes and courses and programs that are unnecessary and all that time is time where your child is not with you. Good luck to anyone going through this, it is the hardest thing you will ever experience in your life.God bless you.

This agency is a poor representative in the social work skills. Krystal is arrogant and extremely rude. The ratings are low for a reason. I feel sorry for their employees.

My son was in Childnets care for a about a year. The worst experience a parent could go through from my end. The advocates, one named Charmaine, and one named Johnny Sharp I believe, and one I cant remember her name, were horrible. They dont communicate with you. Never kept me informed. They lied in court about what they have been doing. Just want to make themselves look good. Did not care about the child. My son was listed on runaway for a long while. They did nothing to locate him? And when they found out where he was at still did nothing. They in my opinion are not well trained in the job at hand. Lazy and not very caring. The state should take a good look at how they operate. In my opinion. As well as Childnet as well should really take a look into there own daily operations!

I believe the word is Homewreckers , yes in deed that would fit child net very well. Ive gotten more help n information calling the 211 help line then I did with my advocate..Your job is to assist families in piecing their lives back together for whatever the reason they found themselves caught up in this horrific system but instead they play a Hugh part in keeping families apart instead of Reunification which is the goal..Lets get these children back into stable homes,help these parents become the best parent they can be and raise these kids right..its tough out there in the real world with real problems but God never gives us more then we can chew

I dont see why this is the only agency in Broward County and why are they still open. The upper management staff is unprofessional and rude to their staff. I thought only coming once a week to see my kids was tough on us. But the way I saw a supervisor talk to my Child Advocate was the most disrespectful degrading thing I had ever witnessed. After she was chewed outing front of me. My Child Advocate sat quietly in my visit and all I wanted to do is help her. Its sad that we dump on the Advocates but they have it just as hard and no one knows that. And after I witnessed want I did. I say Sham on the management that is in charge of the Advocates.. the supervisors all need real management training. This place disgust me.

Review №17

The people there are ignorant and rude. I was talking to my brother and they yelled at him on for asking what time he would be picked up from that place. These people are kidnappers just to treat children worst than parents do to there kids. And they have the nerve to say its for the safety of the child. For someone to become a parent its never easy but they get through it or at least try and when they do that these people sit and wait for you to slip up just once so they can take your children. They live for the misery of others and there money. And its all coming from the top. The Government.

I dont feel like childnet is helping kids get back to their family they are quick to put people children up for adoption even if the mother is trying her hardiest not to give up my kids have been in the system for two years now. Its very stressful to keep going through this my kids did not need this they to young to be away from their family this long i just started my case plan this year should have started last year i miss my kids very much i got four of them that are in the system very pissed off with chidnet and child protect service.

Im a foster kid who just aged out into the oasis home. They do not take care of their tenants I have barely been able to do my laundry in weeks because we have scheduled days and only two hours to wash our clothes and we have to wait for the lady who works there to leave bc she doesnt like how hot the room gets. It took me about a month to actually get my place that should have been ready this place is completely unprofessional and worse part is when I tell my ca she defends that place in a heart beat and this bs is run like a group home but apparently theres only TWO places in broward u can age out in. Pembroke pines and pompano

They have good services and programs for children. But you have to pry info out of workers...Good social workers are far and few! My family goal was reunification...They never worked with me, i completed all tasks assigned by judge. They talked and treated me inhumanely! I gave up.My children are now someone elses children...end of story

Would give negative stars if I could was denied paternity testing after my sons mother passed. Since I wasnt notified of his birth. So happens one of their employees put in to adopt him .......funny. Btw all the 5 star reviews are from people in the organization or buying stolen kids

Review №23

Ridiculous waste of energy. Staff are over loaded, our CA wouldnt care even if she was paid... which, she actually is. For people who are supposed to help parties navigate through the system, they continually fall short. They hold back information, do what is easy instead of what is right or in the childs best interest. If they spent half as much energy getting things done, rather than looking for ways to push people aside, they could (in theory) make a difference. They are not interested in making a difference, its a job... a thankless job, yes. However.... you are dealing with LIVES. You may be disheartened, disgruntled or desensitized but these are peoples lives, their futures. The families and children that are in your care do not know how to navigate the system, they need guidance and assistance completing the simplest of tasks. Inform them, let them know what is happening and why. Tell them exactly what needs to be done. Not everyone is going to do what is required, but with information some people will surprise you.

This place is horrible!! The case workers are jerks, they dont care about reuniting kids with theyre parents, and expect parents to scedule appointment. Especially one case work Keosha, She Has No Respect For Anyone BUT herself, Had Her as A Case Worker AND She EXPECTED me to see My own Child On Her Own time. Some people have plans ahead of time, I shouldnt have to confirm an appointment to see my own child, you could at least have the decency to call for a follow up on a appointment as a reminder.

Review №27

We were lied to by this agency. My great grandchild had relatives who were willing to take her including her mother. Yet this agency lied to the girl by telling her that her mother did not want her. The case worker lied to us by not telling us that by grandchild fwas being transferred to New Jersey. Then they lied about the girl being adopted when she was in foster care under conditions that are illegal in New Jersey for someone in foster care eg child must have own bedroom. The child has gone from being out going and feisty to being subdued and withdrawn. In the meantime the girl is in contact with someone who many years ago was her mothers stepmother and has to call the woman grandmother. Twenty-five years ago this same stepmother was involved in child abuse/neglect of the girls mother. I am working on getting visitation

Review №28

They gave my granddaughter to the former Broward County Supervisor of Libraries (an obvious friend to someone at childnet), allowed her to move her to California without ever contacting her family. My daughter died and I am the adoptive mother of her oldest child and they NEVER contacted me!!! They violated every childnet protocol and Florida law in what they’ve done. They are getting away with KIDNAPPING and exploiting families of opiate addicted children. HELLLP!

I been in foster care since I was 15. My experience was so horrible. I was put in group homes where the girls bullied me and the staff did nothing about it. I never cryed so much in my life. A week prior to me aging out turning 18 they had no where for me to go i was homeless on the streets for a month. I would never wish this experience on anyone.
