DONATELott Family Story:
JD and Britney Lott and their eight children faced multiple years of online harassment for their values and lifestyle. This harassment escalated when Florida Child Protective Services (CPS) responded to an anonymous online allegation against the family, threatening to remove the children. The Family Freedom Project intervened quickly, securing legal help to protect the Lotts just hours before the CPS deadline. The Lotts are now advocating for comprehensive CPS reforms, emphasizing the need for accountability and protection for families from unfounded accusations.
How Texas Reigned in CPS to Protect Families:
- Since 2017, TX has undertaken an enormous bi-partisan overhaul of its CPS system.
- Lawmakers across the political spectrum agree that children need to be protected, but careless investigations and unjust child removals by CPS are extremely damaging to children and families.
- Results from these reforms have been dramatic. The job isn’t done, but Texas’ results demonstrate it is possible to protect families from unjust CPS investigations and protect children from abuse and neglect at the same time.
