Re: Retaliation/Harrassment
You didn't mention what state the allegations originate in but I would suggest since you stated CPS has substantiated your daughter for neglect and yet their is a hearing on the matter on 5/9, that your daughter or you look up your states statues/legal definition of child neglect because that is wha...

Re: dcs letter
Based on what you have said it appears all CPS has is an anonymous hotline tip. When CPS came to your home they did so on a fishing expedition because they have nothing to build a case against you with except the hotline tip. CPS knows they need probable cause to get a court order and they also know...

Re: I feel like I've ran out of options
I'm a little bit confused. Who has legal custody of the children? Do you have an open Case with CPS and what State do you live in?

Re: Heartbroken Family - Justice for Sale
CPS can make recommendations to the court related to your daughter's visitation with her child while in CPS protective custody. but the Court has the final word on that issue and the decisions related to your daughters visitation can be found in the courts orders. Even if the judge decided it wasn't...

Re: Heartbroken Family - Justice for Sale
Perhaps a better question for me to have asked would have been when CPS removed your grand child from her mother where was she placed? With you or with a Foster family. When was she placed with her paternal grandparents and has she been there longer than 30 days? Was the father and his parents at th...

California has mandatory reporting laws in place and teachers are included with those charged to report suspected abuse/neglect. With that it mind, It's doubtful that schools would then be uncooperative with SW's who show up to investigate reported allegations of abuse/neglect. While I understand yo...
