I can related to these reviews about CCP! This is the worst environment that any child or family should be at during a time of dealing with any family issues. Very toxic! My Ex husband pick this place, with his attorney help...Sound like everything that I went through. one time my ex called CCP to let them know that he was going to be late,( mind you we are already there ) when we ask how late he was going to be, her response was so invidious, that I told her, that there own facility rules states that when one party is going to be late, and the other party wishes to wait, a fee of a dollar per min. will be assessed, to the parent that is late. so we waited for a half hour, then I told them that we wish to not stay any longer. the girl said ok, when we got back home, CCP call the police and Fresno district attorney's child abduction unit on me.. So when I talk to the district attorney and explained what had happen and that my own father was with me as a witness, they told me next time to wait until my ex showed up, that was so crazy.. My girls hated going there, they didn't feel protected at all, one time during visitation my ex their father, grab my daughter by her arm to make her sit in a chair, left a red mark on her arm where he had grab her. She was 10 yrs. old, and knew that nobody in that place was there to help her. When I went to pick them up, my ten yr.old daughter, had tears streaming down her face, when I asked what was wrong, Michelle told me ""not in here take it outside"". My daughter told me what had happened, and the girl Lori that was there supervising the visit, was joking around and having a good time with their dad. I went back in to show Diane and she told me that she would talk to Lori and get her side and would call me at home. Her reason was that they were all playing and wresting around. I took them to court. And there story changed, that I never showed them my daughter arm and that I had a problem being jealous, and a scored woman. The court would not allow me to take my girls to another facility. This place use to have a ton of cats, and the urine smell was horrid. I even call the health dept. and how stupid that man is smoking were there are children present..I definitely would not want anyone to go through, what I went through. I'm really glad that I saw these reviews to know that I'm not the only one! more

I previously used this facility for the supervised visits with my son and his father several years ago, we then moved onto exchanges at this same location. The staff members were rude and very judgemental towards the parents. I had several issues and none of them were dealt with in any manner. I complained only to be ignored and treated like I was causing a problem for asking the owners to do their jobs as described in their own registration papers that were given to me when I registered. The man that stands outside as security does nothing other than smoke and ignore anything that is happening around him. The lady inside that took the money and brought the child to the parents was rude and non caring in all regards towards my child as well as myself. I asked after several moths of serivice for a report for court that should have detailed everything that had happened while I was at their facility, instead a received a report that stated that I was just jealous of my ex and his new wife and acted completely unreasonable while at CCP. I was shocked this had not happened at all and in fact I had been remarried since my son was only three months old. The facts of my case were nowhere in this report. The entire thing was nothing other than the owners personal opionon of me. Which was not nice nor was any of it true. I asked why this had happened and wanted to know why they would represent themselves in such a manner only to be told that I was being immature and actling like a child. I then went to my ex and offered to drop his current wage assignment of $620 per month in order to do our exchanges privately. I was not in a poitsition to do this financially but knew that it was better than staying at this facility. My ex agreed and we continued our exchanges outside of CCp from that day forward. The damage that CCP did to my custody case was immeasurable. The comments that they made caused me to fight my ex in court for several years and at every court date I had to explain why CCP had written such a report on behalf of my ex. The funny thing was I requested and paid for this report not my ex. I am just now rebuilding my life after well over eight years of emotional torture at the hands of my ex as he used the court system to further abuse me after I left him. CCp had a hand in helping a very abusive man to continue to tortue me long after leaving him as well as causing my son to be placed in his fathers care for a large amount of custodial time which was not good for my at all. After eight years my son's father currently has a restraining order against him that keeps him away from my son and myself. This process has cost more than most homes cost. I will never be ble to regain the time lost with my son due to CCP's awful behavior in my case. In my opinion this facility should be shut down. Other than just my personal expierce is the fact that quite literally down the stree tis the Fresno countys Methodone clinic as well the fact that less than one hundred yards away is a freeway overpass where homeless people live. This is not a place for children or families at all! If you want better for child please contact the recently formed organization that is coming together to close this awful facility down. The contact information is as follows: more

If your future with your children, and their safety is important, I am one of many parents who advise AGAINST using this facility for your child exchanges. I had to hire a private investigator to investigate this facility because the facility was treating me very poorly and I didn't do anything to provoke this. The private investigator found that the facility was very dishonest....examples: They were sneeking my ex (a perpertrator of domestic violence) through the back of the building and telling me he was coming through the front like all the other parents! They were telling me I could leave the building because he was no longer in the building (I had a restraining order against him) when infact the Private Investigator taped that he was still in the building and when I left, he followed me. They charged me for being late, but not him! One another incident, the Private Investigator taped and recorded DOUG COOLIDGE (the owner of the facility) talking, laughing, and smoking cigarrettes with my ex in front of the building for 45 minutes after the exchange had already happened, and they were talking about the letter that his wife (DIANE COOLIDGE) was going to write to help my ex out! So this was the worst experience I have ever been through and with all my evidence, I got the facility changed. SO I WARN ALL PARENTS ABOUT THIS DISHONEST FACILITY, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO THROUGH WHAT I DID. more
