Silvia reached out to us for help with her situation. I asked her to write an update, which is below the link to her original story.

Silvia Zarate, Pro Se, filed a 42 USC Section 1983 lawsuit against DCYF for violation of her 4^th Amendment, Right of Unreasonable Search and Seizures and violation of her 5^th and 14^th Amendments, Right of Due Process on September 18, 2023. The Office of Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, representing the Plaintiffs, has filed an answer denying any liability and has filed a Motion for Summary Judgement. DCYF refuses to take responsibility for their negligence, even though the appeals court found in my favor in June 2022!

I have stood up to this abuse of power, and I demand that my rights be respected, and that DCYF be forced to pay for the pain and suffering that they have caused me and my family. I need financial assistance or legal representation to go against the state and effectively prosecute my claim.

Let us all come together and stand up against the state through a Class Action Lawsuit. I know that I am only one of many that have been wronged by DCYF! Demand that our legislators to take ACTION!
