There were happy children’s voices in the background as Tabitha Shoars spoke on the phone Wednesday, April 6, with Health Impact News to share their great news. The Shoars family has released the following statement:

We want to announce that after 600 days of fighting for our children against Arizona CPS, we are proud to announce that our case has been DISMISSED!
We want to thank all of our supporters far and wide for prayers and blessings that was sent and the words of encouragement that helped motivate us to push passed all the obstacles that was thrown at us.
We want to also do a special shout out to individual people that truly helped impact our lives by giving us the help, knowledge and getting our story out there.

And to everyone else we couldn’t mention. We love you all and you all will always be our big family.

From the Shoars family

Tabitha and Jeff and their children are overjoyed to be back together again after their horrific ordeal. Tabitha says that the faces of the children lit up when they came home last week. The children, who range in age from almost 4 to almost 11, tackled their parents in their excitement to be reunited.

Health Impact News was the first to publish their side of their story:

Arizona CPS Takes 7 Children Away from Parents after Accident

Their Lives Were Ripped Apart After a Tragedy

Their lives fell apart on August 14, 2014. Three year old Khloe fell outside while she was playing, and later that night collapsed. Her parents had left the children in the care of a babysitter while they went out for a date night. They rushed home when they were told that the babysitter had called 911. While their sister was taken to the hospital, the rest of the children were taken by Child Protective Services and divided up into separate foster homes. Khloe passed away the next day.

Even though no one was ever charged with a crime, the children were not returned to their parents.

The autopsy report later revealed that the cause of death was “inconclusive.” Those close to the family suspect that Khloe had a brain aneurysm, but there is no definitive answer. From all appearances, her death looks like it was from natural causes. Despite this, Child Protective Services required the parents to attend all sorts of classes and jump through all sorts of hoops, all the while threatening to Terminate Parental Rights.

Every single day since the children were taken away on August 14, 2014, Tabitha and Jeff fought for their children, researching, networking, and doing everything that they could to get their children home.

During that time, Tabitha went back to school to get her certification and training as a massage therapist. Through every heartbreak, court appearance, and battle since then, she has maintained good grades, and will graduate in May.

“Case Dismissed”

The Shoars had their final court hearing on Wednesday, and the judge pronounced words that were music to Tabitha and Jeff’s ears: “Case dismissed.” She reports that when she came out of the courtroom on Wednesday, it felt like a huge load had lifted off of her shoulders and she wanted to scream in victory.

Tabitha says that she has only seen 3 cases in family court ever dismissed in the state of Arizona. She cites a figure she has seen that says that only 1% of the children taken in Maricopa County by Child Protective Services are ever returned to their families. Even so, the Shoars had resolved never to give up fighting for their children.

When they told their children that the case was dismissed, the kids began cheering and jumping up and down. They couldn’t be happier to finally be together again.

That battle is now over.

Now it is time for the healing to begin. Tabitha says that she and Jeff want to focus their attention on helping their children to heal from their long, traumatic experience. Their family has been through a nightmare and they need to heal.

This exact same thing happened to my 3 precious little great-grandchildren. 4 year old Jasper, 1 (at time of legal kidnapping by cps) now 2 year old Josiah, and 3 month old (at time of legal kidnapping by cps) now 8 months old Mia. in Spokane, WA.

Only difference is this was an accident where they were pedestrians, and at an intersection, where on March 31, 2016. baby Mia was in a carrier, which was in a stroller. and when they got ready to cross the street, one tire of the stroller got stuck in a hole (or something like that) in the road, and the stroller tipped over, causing the carrier to fall (while baby was in the carrier) and her thigh bone was broken, the bone dr. who made a report regarding the x-ray said that he believed that it was intentional, then cps and police ended up at the hospital, and talked to parents, asking many questions, and found out that they had 2 other children, who were being cared for by step-father’s mother. Then cps got address, and went to her house and illegally kidnapped those 2 children, with no warrant, and gave the mother 2 papers (not signed by any judge or anybody at all) stating that they took the children because it was in the children’s best interest.

Now the parents do get visitation, and the children don’t act normal at all, they act extremely sad, and not happy like they use to be, and now I just found a site where it says that foster kids are drugged on a regular basis, here is the link: http://www.businessinsider.com/many-foster-kids-me…

Parents and all family are low-income, and court appointed attorney seems to be on the cps side.

If anybody can find a pro-bono attorney who can help them in this situation, I would really appreciate your help. this is a case in Spokane, Washington. and my email address is {email removed} thank you very very much.

Does anyone know if they were able to take legal action against the state for what they did to them?

Awesome news!  God’s grace is amazing!
I pray they find the means to move out of Maricopa County to an area where there is a small CPS presence.
