[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 748652, member: 13542"] CPS is different in each state, each county. I live in No. California and when my granddaughter was 11 I went to court for guardianship and I did call CPS. Fortunately I met a social Worker thru CPS who helped me thru the entire case and in fact appeared in court on my behalf. My experience with CPS was a positive one, however, I don't believe that is the typical experience. My understanding is that they will remove the child if they believe the child is in danger, however, they mostly try to keep the child with his parents. Given the issues you're concerned about, CPS may or may not intervene, being isolated without the usual health care may not meet any criteria they have for danger. When I made the decision to call CPS and begin Guardianship, I was willing to raise my granddaughter...... Are you prepared to take your grandson? I have no direct experience of any negatives with CPS however, I have heard that they can invade your life in ways that are heavy handed. It's a hard call because you don't know what CPS will do. I think I would give it more thought before calling them in. But, I am not in the situation, you are.....perhaps gather more information, do some research into your local CPS......and, always, follow your instincts. [/QUOTE]
