if children are involved yes. It was probbaly the police that called them as required to do so depending on the situation. If you were living in the hotel they were called to, that could be part of the reason. It also depends on what the ENTIRE situation was at the time. Was the guy whose room it was a sex offender? Someone that had a record of child abuse that was a red flag to the police ect. Also in VA if parents are involved in any kid of prostitution that would be an auto removal of the children and good luck getting them back. Maybe the 'jerk' is a known 'pimp' or has dealing with prostitution rings. I dont know. You havent shared enough info. Just offering reasons. It could have also been as simple as doing a welfare check on the kids.


From my understanding, in VA if a family is living in a hotel, once a childs school finds out, (wouldnt be any different for police either I imagine since they are all mandated reporters.) they are required to notify CPS of potential situation. A friend of mine was living in a hotel that was actually an apartment/hotel. This was by her choice because she didnt want to mess with having to get furniture, pay several different bills ect. (not my cup of tea but to each his own) The school told her that they were required to notify CPS and did so. The social worker explained to her that what they were looking for was to make sure the kids were in a stable 'home' where they werent changing schools constantly, and not moving constantly. Since they had lived in this hotel for over a year and a half, it showed stability and the case was closed).

You stated in your other post about the police coming in and clearing the home first....cleared it from what? You still never said why they took your kids other than a 'jerk' that got you a room they said you are affilitated with.

THANKS- I DO NEED TO BE MORE INFOMATIONAL. THE "JERK" WHOSE NAME WAS ON THE HOTEL SLIP DID HAVE LEWD ACTS COME TO FIND OUT. BUT I JUST BARELY MET HIM COMING HERE TO L.A WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT KNOWS ANY OR ALL INFO. ON A PERSON WHEN YOU FIRST ME?? NO ONE.IF I HAD KNOWN THAT ,YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE MY KIDS AROUND HIM, HECK NO!!!!SO OF COURSE HE'S NOT LETTING ANY GIRL KNOW, OR NO GIRL WOULD ASSOCIATE W/HIM. HOW CAN THEY USE HIS RECORD AGAINST US? ALSO- WHEN THE PD SHOWED UP TO THE ROOM, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE THERE TO SEARCH FOR A GUN AND FOR ME TO SIT ON THE TABLE AND DON'T INTERFERE W/ THEIR "JOB"OR I COULD BE ARRESTED SO I DID JUST THAT.

So some strange man that you just met offered to put you and your kids up in hotel and it turns out that he has 'lewd acts' (with a minor I am sure) and you say "how am I supposed to know', and then when you are supposed to be proving to CPS that you are fit to parent your kids. You get busted for robbery (probably armed is why you got the felony charge?) and get slapped with a felony charge.

You didnt get your kids taken from you intially for 'domestic violence' you got them taken because you had them around a known sex offender. (Information that is widely available on the internet, and even if you didnt have access to a computer, you could have gone to a police station and asked, or had a family member do a search for you, or go to an internet cafe ect....saying how am I supposed to know that he was a sex offender .......isnt going to fly. There is too much info out there available to keep kids away from creeps like that to claim ignorance. It was failure to protect that got your kids taken away in the first place.

I just dont know what else to say about your 'situation'.

And to answer your question about who do we/I know that knows all the info on someone when I first meet them. I dont. And thats why I dont take my kids around someone until I do know and trust that person. (Hell ya I google people that I think might be good 'friend' material that I would like to hang out with again and might consider having around/near my kids at some point.)

As a military family we move around A LOT. Everytime we move to a new area the first thing I do is check for sex offenders in the area. How close they are to where we live, my kids school, the parks my kids frequent, the vacinty to their school bus stops ect. I have several states sex offender regestries in my favorites for easier access. I found one offender that was in the military and lived in the same base housing as us in Chicago, he had been charged with kiddy porn!! (I promptly notifed base housing who did not know of his charges, but did start an investigation...we transferred before I heard back from them)

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that in the TPR they also stated something along the lines of you refusing to accept responsibility. And/Or your inability to understand the magnitude of your actions.

I wish you luck
