The Jane Doe Files

Chronological of Events

June 2023

Wine Cellar calls the police saying the victim was suicidal and lost her mind.

July-August 2023

CPS made unannounced visits every day for two weeks and Wine Cellar's allegations set the tone for the rest of the case. When asked for communication in between visits to keep each other updated - CPS was uncooperative. All reasonable efforts to keep the child in the home were not exhausted.

August 2023

Judge court ordered parenting classes/mental health evaluation.

September 2023

She requested everyone attend a parent partnership meeting and was told she couldn't record the meeting (Virginia, a Child Protective Services (CPS) worker refusing to let you record a meeting is a procedural violation of the Code of Virginia § 63.2-1516)

In the meeting she brought the disposition from the previous case but the workers required her to get a mental health evaluation and required to CPS to address the child's education and medical needs. Both were neglected (see no home checks or interviews).

September 2023

She wrote a complaint to the attorney general about the wrongful removal.

October 2023

Transportation issues prompted an unplanned over-the-phone court hearing which was continued again due to parenting classes not being available yet.

Noember 2023

She wrote a letter to withdraw due to extenuating circumstances 

December 2023

Received feedback from the Ombudsman about multiple procedural failures CPS made about her case.

January 2024

There was no fair trial. It was basically a meeting for signing paper work. There was no evidence presented by the accusers and again she was instructed again not to record the hearing.(A procedural violation of the Code of Virginia § 63.2-1516). Full custody went to Wine Cellar.

She showed up every week twice a week. Totalling 10 calls a month for 4 months but attempts at cooperation were met with evidence-based incompetence and leadership failures.

January 2024

An appeal was filed for both the court ruling and CPS. THe CPS appeal paperwork was submitted on-time which was confirmed, not by CPS, but by multiple channels including employees and management. The court hearing was set for ninety days. She also then filed a complaint for Judicial Misconduct.

February 2024

She received confirmation from the state appeal committee but notified her they could not see her before the county had their appeal process.

November 2024

The son of the CPS lawyer attempted suicide and so the hearing was continued to March of the next year.

March 2025

After January communication with her child went completely blacked out for 46 weeks and legal representation confirmed they needed the child to testify which meant the hearing was continued again.

June 2025

The apellette hearing was held by another judge, the victim retained an at-cost court reporter and the accusor's false and malicious testimony was finally appropriately provided to the court - again. Statements on behalf of the defense, witnesses, including the child were continued to the next hearing.

November 2025

The hearing was postponed due to the judge being unavailable due to unforseen circumstances. At this time Wine Cellar gave the child her own phone and she attended mobile visitation every day on the first ring, never complianed or asked for no contact.

January 2026

At this time regular in-person visits were well established every Friday while over-the-phone visits remained the same.

April 2026

After requesting the case file three months ago CPS finally had the case file in order and mailed it out but it was not signed for and so it was returned to sender, and ended up in a different state somewhere.
