[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 100965, member: 3626"] I'd call the supervisor and explain the situation with your 11 YO. CPS wants to do as little as possible -- they just don't have the funds. If talking to the supervisor gets no help, then you may have to take drastic steps. Your little ones are in danger and that needs to be addressed. You may have to file a CHINS (child in need of services) and get the court to order foster care or Residential Treatment Center (RTC). CPS will probably demand that you relinquish all parental rights if this happens. Don't let them bully you into this. They can't legally force you to give up all rights to your son. The tragic thing is that many social workers will do anything to keep a child who is not abused out of the system, up to and including threatening removal of all children from the home so that you'll keep the one who is the problem. I hope you ultimately find a social worker who will work with you (social workers usually switch depending on what is going on legally -- the one who does the initial studies is rarely the one who is there when you go to court, etc.) and who understands how hard you are trying to save everyone. If you can find that, many doors will be opened for you. I hope things work out well for you. [/QUOTE]
