Federal and PA satate laws and handbooks?
Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 2:53 pm
I'm trying to prepare for things that could happen and I hope that never do. Anyway, I read that I should have a CPS file on hand and that the file should include thier handbook and the state and federal laws. Since it looks like it's pages and pages I do not want to print it off the Internet. Where can I get paper copies?
Also, I looked up the recording laws for PA and it sounds like we are not allowed to record unless all parties consent. Would this also include government officials? I don't really think I"d want to turn on a tape recorder secretly anyway but just checking.
Another question. I would like to somehow, in correct legal language, tell our local CYS that if someone reports us to them for any reason and we need to be investigated, we would like to be investigated by our pastor and/or his wife who know us well and pray for our son every day, and if our son must be removed, that he would go to brethren in church or to my local extended family, and would come home at our pastor's and our discretion. Our Prepaid Legal Services law firm has been very helpful in updating our will, etc., but claims there is nothing we can do about CYS and furthermore, that it makes uds look suspect for being concerned. Are they correct? Thanks!
