[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was CPS doing while they held the children for two hours?[/quote]

Getting someone with ANY authority to answer the phone on a Sunday. Just my guess.[/quote]

I think so too, which is why some heads need to roll at CPS. I assume they have a rotation of people on call every weekend, since child abuse can happy at any time day or night. The person who didn't respond to the officer's call in a timely manner deserves a reprimand or firing.[/quote]
CPS is a crap shoot. That's why I haven't filed reports when maybe I should have. You never know if things would turn out better, or worse.[/quote]

Its not a crap shoot.  When you call the hotline, they do a screening.  They have a specific tool that asks specific questions and then it gets rated and either the case is screened in for investigation or out based off of the hotline call.  They only have a few workers on evening and weekend shift so its not surprising the timeframe.  If anything it was very reasonable. They also need to get ahold of a supervisor on call which can take some time to make a case decision and in this case, it probably involved the administrators.  CPS handled this appropriately.  If anything, given the parents violated what ever agreement they had, I find it disappointing they haven't taken stronger action.  If it was two 11 year olds, it would be one thing but this includes a six year old who was not properly supervised, provided with food and water (officer had to provide water on pick up) and they had no reasonable way to contact the parents in case of emergency.
