# of Thumbs Up Received (2)		 It sounds as if you should be meeting with Children Services as quickly as possible to find out what is going on. If you don't have a lawyer, you may want to obtain one. Laws vary from state to state and even county to county, so it's impossible to answer your question here. Good luck!

Top 5 in: Discipline, Families and Relationships, Growth and Development, Learning Styles, Manners and Values, Parenting Support, Parents and SchoolsTop 5 in 7 Topics		 I'd have to second what Liz said. I went to your County's Website and tried reading through the regulations posted there. I couldn't find anything that was relevant to a dismissed case.

Do you have legal counsel? That would be the best resource--as would calling the court and asking. Some other possible resources for you might include:

PACE-Parents And Children for Equality

PO Box 8805, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208

Victims of Child Abuse Laws

VOCAL is a child advocacy and family rights organization that provides information, research data, emotional support, and an "experts" referral service for family members who are victims of abuse or have been abused by "system professionals". As a non-profit corporation run by unpaid volunteers and is supported by donations from its members and other concerned citizens. A group of caring, responsible parents who have been victimized by child abuse laws that enable "system professionals" to ignore the Constitutional rights of American citizens. We are doctors, lawyers, ministers, laymen and "Pro-Family" politicians who Value Our Children and Laws, and are dedicated to changing laws which enable "system professionals" to violate the Constitutional rights of American citizens. We are against those who victimize children and adults by making anonymous, malicious and false allegations of child abuse. VOCAL is against removing children from a home without court order because mental, physical and sexual abuse often occurs in foster care homes. VOCAL is against individuals who abuse their positions of authority and cause irreparable damage to families based on hearsay allegations. VOCAL is for higher standards of education for HRS caseworkers, Child Protection Team Members, and Guardian-Ad-Litem volunteers. VOCAL is for working with other pro-family organizations and encourages the active pursuit of common goals. VOCAL believes the family is the foundation of society, and any activity which weakens families is a threat to our entire society. Strengthening family unity makes for a stronger America.

avatarAnonymous Again, just to reiterate what the other two said...you should start by contacting the Pickaway County Juvenile Court. There should be a caseworker assigned to your case who could answer you questions.

Secondly, you should try to contact the Pickaway County Friend of the Court. There should be a Friend of the Court caseworker assigned to your case. Try to get in touch with that person.

Also, if Pickaway County has a Women in Transition office, try them.

Finally, contact Legal Aid, again, if they have an office in Pickaway County.

Good luck and remember, you are your own best advocate.
