Mother Files $900 Trillion Lawsuit Against NYC After Losing Custody of Sons

Wait in line woman... china is first.

If disrupting family integrity is a crime, then there's a lot of dads out there whose bat#$%$ crazy ex-wives, who have custody of their children, owe them 900 trillion dollars.

She is hitting the courts with a sledgehammer! and, believe me, that is what it takes. You do not get justice in this country if you do not have power, or a forum and she made her own forum!

She's representing herself? How's the saying go - anyone who represents themself in court has a fool for a client?

I often feel it's very wrong for any state to be able to make a judgement on someone else to justify taking their children away. Often these people truly love their children and their "crime" may be something as simple as poverty or ignorance. If her children were well cared for, then what right did the state have to come in an abduct her children? He mental illness may cause her to say or do odd things but if she caused the children no physical or mental harm then I feel they had no right to take them away. I'm also conflicted by the statement that they felt they had any right to take her kids because she refused treatment for a possible mental illness. How "free" are we really when our government has this level of control? I wouldn't want to think of someone forcing me to receive medication or "treatment" that they deem necessary if I don't want it. If the extent of her issues if that she says weird things, then what harm is she to anyone? I couldn't argue against it if she had a mental illness that caused her to be a real danger to others, if she were to harm or kill them, but otherwise I don't feel that our government should any right to dictate what we do with our own bodies or to abduct or loved ones if we don't comply to their "rules". I feel she IS owed compensation for the suffering this no doubt caused her and her kids, though the amount requested if obviously extreme and unrealistic.

as a taxpayer, i feel like i'm being robbed.

There is no amount of money that can compensate breaking up a family for no reason. While I agree that ACS was acting on the best interest of the children, they should have been more diligent and accurate when they made their accusation which forced this woman to lose her children. She will not get this amount, but I hope and pray that she gets enough money to make ACS be more diligent and responsible when making this sort of accusations.

my gosh is this for real?

Yeah, suing the city for 900 trillion dollars is a sure fire way to convince them your not mentally unstable., right?

If nothing else this case forces a public debate on government intrusion into the family dynamic. This nation needs to take a good look at the way government intrudes in to the family and why and how it can help families and not cause more harm....

The lawyer is in agreement with the amount or he wouldn't have taken the case.

Her $ amount proves she is mental. I cant believe they would remove the children out of a home without having a case against her to begin with. Something is missing in this story.

Suing for $900 Trillion, FBI is haunting my family, radiating skin, representing herself in a custody suit against NY? Yeah, sounds mentally unstable to me.

This is an example that those applying for entry into the United States be physically and mentally healthy as well as being of good moral character.

the people that think the state is at fault and deserve to pay because a psycho has her kids removed are idiots. Do you want a recent example of why the state has the right/need to protect kids from nut jobs? check out the Powells in colorado 3 days ago then convince other people that the state is wrong for trying to protect kids from nut jobs.

I can't imagine she is really expecting that much, but from a mother who's son was taken away at age 12 for almost 3 years, for something he did at the babysitter's house, the time away is priceless!

suck money out of the system while leaving these parasites to prey on children, for their own good supposedly. This will accomplish little other than to turn on the lights for these psychos. I personally believe that these people on our dime, destroy a hundred times the lives they help, percentage wise, they are far more dangerous than child molesters, because those are the regulations. People have made it a full time living out of crashing through lives and families because they admittedly don't know what else to do but still feel obligated to do something. I will admit. I hate them. I wish bad things on them and I am sure that they will be directed to hell by someone else, just following orders. The day I no longer love my child I will again see them as something other than a mindless threat to children everywhere. Get a chair, this might just take a while.

This woman is crazy .... like a fox. This court case would never have reached the national media had she not sued for this exorbitant amount of money. Now her case will be carefully scrutinized by the whole country if not the world. Pretty good for a mentally ill single mother representing herself in court. I hope she wins some of the money she is suing for, regains custody of her sons and causes a major examination of the ACS and their illegal and immoral practices.

If she were to win this, the attorneys would take $899+ trillion, and she would receive $1.00. The attorneys then would tell her it was "fair and justified".

However miscalculated everyone feels her number is, she is right about no amount of money can replace or repair the damage done to the integrity of their family unit. She did get our attention!!
