I'm not saying your friend isn't telling the truth, but more often than not in cases where grandparents have custody there is considerable animosity between the parents and grandparents. If CPS had any evidence, any history, any verifiable statements from other children this grandfather...

LOL!! My thoughts exactly, but when I deal with clients I'm supposed to be politically correct....and I can't say what I want to say more often than not!

CPS protocol would require the parents/caretakers NOT to allow the child to be around her grandfather. Period. If the mother has concerns, she shouldn't have to be told in the first place. There may not be any evidence of sexual abuse and/or the child may not be old enough to verbalize what...

I clearly referred you to your local social services department and go to the Children's Services area. There you will find a link to the policy and procedure manual for your state. I cannot link you directly because the mods have said that asking what state you live in is "personal information".

It is NOT about the money! That is the LAW in every State in the USA. This is an issue I fight with almost daily because of my own personal perspective. The COURTS see parental rights as sovereign because our laws are designed that way. It has been that way from the beginning of time. If you...

I believe you are confused about what you are referring to as the CHIPS "system". There is a criteria used in EVERY state that qualifies a CPS report as screened in or screened out. CHIPS is just another acronym for a Child Protection system under the umbrella of Social Services. A screened out...

<modsnip> Because, mandated reporter or not, (and everyone is technically a mandated reporter), what you are describing IS cause for a CPS response. I've never heard of "multiple reports" having to be made prior to a CPS investigation. A filthy house is considered neglect. Animal feces on the...

Where on earth do you live!!?? And what do you mean "not enough to generate an intervention" or "enough reports to investigate"???

I haven't read that anywhere, but I can see how that conclusion could be drawn. If anyone has that from a MSM source, please post a link. I was just responding to the fact that the CPS report was made on Sunday and she wasn't discovered until Tuesday....so the 3 yr old home alone would not...

Without working in that particular location, I can't be sure about how their calls are handled. I work in NC, but I've worked in a small rural county and currently I'm in a major city. In the small county LE could make a report simply by notifying dispatch that they wanted a CPS worker on the...

I'm really compelled to correct this statement. There are NO charges against the mom or the uncle. A report was made, ALLEGING, abuse or neglect. CPS opened an investigation based on those allegations. CPS does not charge anyone. Ever. Besides that, JD did not admit he left the 3 yr old home...

Time for me to quit....I'm messing up to many important details.

It doesn't work like that. Someone would have to call in another report with those specific allegations. And that report would probably be what is called "screened out" because those allegations are already being investigated in conjunction with the first report. Just because the allegations...

Sorry. I probably should have looked at that a bit closer. I just knew it was 3 allegations. So...2 neglect and 1 abuse. My bad. ETA: I corrected it.

What I'm saying is this.... Anyone could have called the hotline after hearing Willow was missing just to tell them other information. Kinda like this, "that no good drunken floozy went out to the bar again and left them kids with her low life crack head brother". We have no idea what was...
