Parental Rights Rejected
My name is JC Cross, and I am the father of three remarkable daughters. A Minnesota family court has disregarded my parental rights and my children’s right to maintain a relationship with their father.
In March 2022, Child Protection Services wrongfully removed my daughters from my home based on false allegations. I later prevailed in three separate court proceedings, including a unanimous jury acquittal, without any finding that I had harmed my children.
Yet a family court referee still removed my custody, allowed my daughters to be moved to another state, and has prevented me from seeing my oldest daughter since March 2022. The custody order relied on findings that materially mischaracterized key evidence and testimony.
My story is not only about one father. It exposes a family court system that can restrict fundamental parental rights without first proving abuse, parental unfitness, or danger to a child.
Parental rights are constitutional rights. When courts ignore them, children and families pay the price.
This system must change.

On March 17, 2022, CPS Investigator Hirat Muse knowingly lied to Minneapolis Police. He told them I had violated a court order by picking my daughters up from school that day. However, no order existed.
Help Defend Parental Rights and Protect Families
Will you join us in defending parental rights and protecting families from government overreach?
District court judges possess extraordinary power to dictate how fit parents raise their children, restrict parent-child relationships, and even sever family bonds—often without a finding of abuse, parental unfitness, or danger to the child.
No government institution should have unchecked power to separate children from loving parents.
Sign the petition and demand stronger legal protections for parental rights and the family.
