[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that CPS doesn’t care it’s that there is no good solution or alternative. Either the son is removed from the home or the daughter is and then what? One of the kids is put in foster care? The son is institutionalized (which would be very difficult to even find a facility that would take a 9 year old)?

It’s an impossible position for the parents or caseworkers to manage really. The only thing I could see realistically happening is one parent takes each kid and live separately or girl goes to live w someone else  (grandparents, aunt/uncle, close friend’s family) to keep her safe.[/quote]

Not impossible. Find a facility for the 9 year old. [/quote]

That is pretty much impossible.  It really is.  My family experienced this.  My parents exhausted every avenue to find placement for my sibling.  They even had to resort to calling the police to subdue violent episodes on numerous occasions.  Finding a place that will take a minor, your minor, when you need it, it nearly impossible [/quote]
