Full NewsBreak story: Sham and Joseph were battling addiction and sought help to recover. They worked hard to improve their lives, maintain sobriety, and become better parents. Despite their progress, CPS removed their children and kept them in foster care. The couple received several certificates, found employment, passed drug tests, and completed everything CPS asked of them, but roadblocks were continuously put in place to prevent the children from being reunited with their family.
A family team meeting was held, but Joe’s sister and Operation Stop CPS, an organization fighting against the injustices of CPS were denied the opportunity to speak on behalf of the family. The stress induced by CPS during the meeting caused Joe to have a brain aneurysm, which he ultimately did not recover from. The family was devastated and left with unanswered questions as to why only one of their three children was allowed to remain in their home.
Operation Stop CPS asked for public assistance in emailing Tammy Shook from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and demanding that the McFalls children be reunified with their family.
The final outcome of this family serves as proof of how important it is to work together as a community and fight against these types of injustices. Teamwork makes the dream work.
