[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 740107, member: 23359"] It’s rare to CAS to keep children here (or at least in our area). There was a story a while back where they went in and the 10 month old was severely dehydrated (mom was just giving water and not formula), broken leg (that was healing- never got medical attention). Mom got custody back within 6 months. They may continue to be involved (random check ins, etc) but their goal now is to keep families together and to educate rather than take. But there are cases where some parents never get their kids back. Typically it’s because of substance abuse (not marijuana though since it’s pretty much legal) or parents are mentally unstable. But I’ve seen where a child claimed they were sexually assaulted and still forced to see that parent in supervised visits. Although that was visits and not actual custody. Copa- I appreciate all “the left field” stuff. It makes me think about things in a different light. Things I had never considered before. J has free lawyer advice through his work so we’ll do that tomorrow. SWOT- I’m also technically mandated to report because of the field I’m in. But it’s very dependant on what’s going on here though. Ex: If we had a family that was already involved with certain agencies and actively working with them then no one will call. Unless of course it was straight out abuse, kid says “my daddy/mommy hit me”. The mental health worker for B is very similar to CAS/CPS but it’s all voluntary. There isn’t much his mental health worker can do that they would do be able to do- except remove the child/B. But I guess you never know and they could make a liar out of me . Eli’s- that is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m so sorry you guys had to go through that! I can’t imagine how scared you must have felt! [/QUOTE]
