Question by bullymommy25: What are the rights of the citizen against child protective services?
My sister is on methadone… she got pregnant and is quitting it as fast as she can, she’s down to 16mgs now, but can’t just quit because that would cause fetal distress and miscarriage. She has a lovely child on scholarship in private school where people simply do NOT have CPS cases, and if they came to the school, she would have to switch her child to another school to avoid the shame of it all and the stigmas against her child. She hopes to have the meth out of her system by the time the baby is born, but if she doesn’t, does CPS always have to be called? Can you get a lawyer to keep them from nosing in your life and ruining your reputation in the community? Not to mention the hideous thought of foster care, where her children would NEVER get the opportunities she can provide them, plus the prominance of abusive foster parents/ones who take in kids to collect a welfare check. Even the allegation of neglect, abuse, or whatever is enough to ruin a family, and CPS NEVER apologizes
or goes back to the people it interviewed to say the case is unfounded… how can the citizen fight this all powerful, overstaffed, bad decision making child snatching agency?
RETARDED-SHE NEVER USED HEROIN. EVER READ A QUESTION BEFORE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS?

God ,

I really have to say your living in LA LA Land,

Honey your sister IS and addict, they don’t just give meth to anyone, to a person that uses “recreationally”

ITS TOO LATE once she signed up at the meth clinic, they sent her information out to the state, and will investigate

thats how it works

Meth is a controlled substance, and the people approved for the program must meet the criteria
UNfortunately, the baby is already addicted inside the womb
When it is born, they will try and treat the baby, even if she is OFF the meth,

they already know that this baby needs to be evaluated neurologically, ect…

ITs for the babys own well being,

I feel for your neice because she is old enough to have to pay for her mothers mistakes.

BUT there really isn’t anything that can be done,
and I must say I am glad

You are enabling your sister, and she will go back to he Drug of choice, because your making her behavior acceptable,

I am not saying she is this horrible monster,
I am saying she is an ADDICT,

You covering UP for her isn’t helping her, its actually the worst thing you can do,

She needs to take responsibility for her actions,

And I feel for your neice, but perhaps the involvement will be BETTER than ignoring and pretending that there isn’t something wrong with momma,

I was a child in a family where we hid things,
I was afraid because of the emarrassment, YES
But as an adult I can see that it would matter MORE to me that my child was safe , healthy and happy,

I woldn’t switch your neice out, I WOULD not try and prohibit DCF , this is for the protection of the child, and children

as its clear MOM cannot make resonable choices,
for the safety and well being of her children, OR herself
she needs help, and YOUR not the person to help her.

M

PS

Good luck and I will pray for you and your sister and her children
