I hope this is not an inappropriate use of this site. If so, please disregard or delete this posting.
My family has been torn apart by the state of Wisconsin. Our 12 year old daughter has been taken away by the state and is only days away from being given psychotropic and other drugs against our will.
We are in the process of securing legal representation and we surely would appreciate any advice or referrals from fellow Wisconsin freepers. We are looking at local attorneys, of course, but this site has been such a great source of information for me on other issues that I figured it would not hurt to ask for help/advice here.
We live in western Wisconsin and need an expert in family law and parental rights.
Thanks so much in advance!
Also, I have not given much detail here, but rest assured this is not a matter that involves a problem at home (no abuse, etc.).
I have had great help from local NAMI chapters including knowledgable lawyers and once a judge. It is mainly a volunteer org of famiies of the mentally ill and they know the system well. Call your local chapter from national referral. Your daughter has well stated rights. You may not have many.
ACLU fights government. Get them on it.
Post #21 should had been addressed to you.
Sorry, "should have been addressed"
