Hi my name is Brandy and I want to warn all parents away from Oconee County, Georgia.

I've lived in many counties and struggled all my life but I had my babies with me and we were happy. Oconee County DFCS has destroyed my life almost completely and if they have their way they will finish me off.

They have my 3 beautiful daughters in their custody now because of social drug use. My little girls have been so traumatized since they came into our lives. When they took them from me they went to the school and picked them up...without me being able to tell them I love them, or why these were strangers taking them away or anything.

How was that in the best interest of my babies??

My children have never been left with strangers in their entire lives, not even with a sitter. I can only imagine how scary that must have been for them. I only get to see them 1-hour a week so there is not much time to talk about things.

I wish I could just lie in the bed and hold them and tell them everything is going to be ok. I can’t afford a lawyer and things don't look so good. But I got off course there.

Out of all the counties I've lived in I've never seen any as bad as this one. Everyone I know with children in this county is going through something with these heartless cps workers. I tell everyone because I wish someone had told me.

Had I known, I would have moved into a box before I moving to this county.

I was put into foster care one-week before my 17th birthday because my mom was accused of false charges. Neither one of my parents were notified.

I told DFCS that I wanted to move in with my dad before I was put into foster care because my mom and dad are divorced. How can I get my dad to get custody of me? And can I legaly move out of the house at 17 as long as I have somewhere to live in Georgia?

Please help, Ashley
