CPS won't take children because they share a room. They also can not take children because the home has no running water or electricity - those are "lifestyle choices". I'm not saying either of those things pertain to this case, I'm just pointing out from personal experience with a family acquaintance that for CPS in Washington to remove a child they have to have bigger reasons.
Foster care homes have to follow strict guidelines about how many square feet per child in bedrooms, rooms must have doors and windows, etc...regular homes have no such guidelines.
I am not sure that is true. It is one thing to have made a choice to live in tents and such and not have water and electric it is another entirely to live in a home that is not in working order. So I think that would be depending on the totality of the circumstances.
