A woman from Sissonville faces criminal charges after she tried to attack a child protective service worker and a Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputy.

It happened Thursday night at 549 Wolf Pen Drive in Sissonville.

Deputies say during a CPS follow up home visit, Dena Bowles tried to punch the CPS worker, but a neighbor stopped her.

After Bowles was arrested deputies say she kicked and tried to punch the deputy that was booking her.

No one was hurt, but Bowles now faces several charges including assault and obstructing an officer.

"MOST" CPS workers are a joke & have no clue on how to raise a child themselves. My 14 year old brother was taken out of a beautiful home ,with two loving parents, because of false accusations of drug abuse & child abuse. Both parents passed several drug test , & cooperated for over a year with CPS. He was placed into a foster home, where he started selling pills at school , smoking marijuana, and having to share a room with his "foster" brother, who beat his girlfriend in front of my brother. CPS on "occasion" does there job. For the most part, they remove the children who are in decent homes & pass by the one's that have junkie parents & are being beat. (I HAVE WITNESSED THIS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.)

I am so sorry about the police officer that he was in the middle of all that. But...Kudos for gettng the Social Worker..These people are Evil and Nazi Like in everyway. They come into your home and say and lie on documents and can ruin a persons life they ruined mine. I wish I had the nerve to do what this woman did. They are trained, the social worker, to provoke such things and I am pretty sure that is what she did. Also they come in to your home very sweet with a smile and slam you in court and you are reeling in shock about all the negative things they trump up to keep there statistics high..So there are two sides to all of this...I bet they are now going to make up all kinds of things about this woman and I bet you she was in the right...But she never should have touched that officer.

This goes to the "social worker". A lot of parents may abuse and neglect their children but you people also place them in unsafe environments. When a child recieves a severe slap mark on his face and not reported to police for a investigation and the child is not removed from that home and the picture is destroyed and no one is held accountable, you think that is in a childs best interest? Than he is placed back in this same home 2 different times. Cps is corrupt and out of control. They take children they shouldnt and dont take children they should.
