Can Child Protective Services Take My Children?
In the event that a neighbor, teacher, clergy member, doctor, therapist, or other party should suspect that a child is being abused or neglected by their parent or guardian, they have a legal obligation to report the possible mistreatment to authorities, at which point Child Protective Services (CPS) may get involved and investigate the child’s living situation. If it is deemed that a child’s wellbeing is compromised under their current living arrangement, CPS may step in and assume temporary custody of the child until a suitable home can be found, whether with a relative, foster home, or group home. Depending on the circumstances, criminal charges may be brought against the alleged abusers.
Reasons why CPS may choose to remove a child include:
- The parents have a history of drug or alcohol abuse
- The living situations are deemed unsanitary or otherwise dangerous
- There is evidence of domestic violence
