In this video interview with Angel Cook, she explains how a Texas CPS worker came into their home after the death of one of their adopted children, and misrepresented herself as a police detective, and then accused her of murdering her child. That charge that was later dismissed by a judge.
CPS removed their other 7 children from the home, and the children were subsequently mistreated and sexually abused while in Texas foster care.
Today, the Cooks have their children back, but they continue to fight against the abuses of CPS and the foster care system. Angel Cook and two of her sons have testified twice before legislative committees about the failings of CPS and the foster care system.
Although all charges were dropped against the parents for the death of their adopted son, who was allegedly abused and mistreated prior to coming into the Cook Family’s care, Angel Cook is now listed as a Child Abuser and can no longer get a job or visit her children in school. The social workers who knew about the mistreatment and sexual abuse of their children while in foster care remain on their jobs as social workers, and the foster parents who allegedly abused their children are still fostering other children.
According to WFAA News, the family was notified earlier this month (April 2015) that the Waxahachie Police Department was making a grand jury referral for aggravated sexual abuse of one of the children in the case. Police officials allegedly confirmed to WFAA that the cases were sent to the Ellis County District Attorney’s Office.
