State of Terror

The Evelyn Lopez Files

When the System Stole Her Daughters

The Mother They Tried to Break
But She Never Stopped Loving. She Never Gave Up.

They thought she’d disappear.
A young Latina mother with postpartum depression and PTSD — easy to bully, easy to frame, easy to erase.

But they didn’t expect her to fight.
They didn’t expect the fire behind her tears.
Or the army behind her voice.

For more than a year, Evelyn did everything they demanded.
She jumped through every hoop, like a slave on a leash.

She took the parenting classes. The therapy. The evaluations. The domestic violence courses.
She showed up — again and again — even when they mocked her, isolated her, tore her down.

They ripped her daughters from her arms, and still she loved.
They slandered her name, and still she showed up.
They dangled her babies like bait, and still she held on.

But that wasn’t enough for them.

They lied about her.
They turned her children’s cries into weapons.
They tried to silence her with fear and smear.
They filed fake investigations. They sent predators to interrogate her toddlers.
They even claimed her advocate was writing her emails — anything to erase her voice.

But Evelyn IS the voice.

The mother who still comforts her girls as they scream not to go back.
The mother who holds her babies close, only to hand them back to strangers with broken hearts and shaking hands.
The state broke every rule to break one mother’s bond — and failed.

Let’s be clear:

This is psychological abuse.
This is state-sponsored torture.
This is retaliation — for being poor, Latina, traumatized, and brave.
And now they want to strip her of even visitation —after everything she’s done.
After everything they’ve done to her.
No.
You don’t get to break Evelyn Lopez.
You don’t get to steal her babies in the dark and expect silence.

We’re putting this in the light. Her pain. Her courage. Her name. Her daughters’ names. Their screams. The tears. The videos. The truth.

You want war?
You picked the wrong mother.
And the wrong family.

They were supposed to reunite the children with their mother.
Instead, they psychologically over-abused her.
They tortured her.
They tore into her mind and crushed her soul.

They didn’t just delay reunification — they destroyed her from the inside out. —This wasn’t a case plan.
It was a slow, calculated breaking of a young mother who already came in with postpartum depression and trauma — and instead of helping her heal, they weaponized that pain against her.

They:
Gaslighted her.
Threatened her.
Accused her of unspeakable things. Forced her to choose between her family and her children.
And when she finally rose to speak? They punished her for that too.

The Reunification Lie: How San Diego CPS Tortured a Mother Instead of Sending Her Children Home
They were ordered to reunify this mother with her children.
She did everything they asked. Therapy. Classes. Parenting plans. She checked every box.

But San Diego Child Welfare Services didn’t reunify.
They retaliated. They isolated her.
They lied about her.
They stalked her, recorded her, and tried to erase her humanity.
They told her she was guilty before any court said so.
They used her mental health against her.
They weaponized her love for her daughters and used it as leverage.

This wasn’t reunification. It was psychological warfare.
And still — she’s standing.
She’s fighting.
And now the world is going to hear her scream.
