[quote=Anonymous]As a former attorney for the state, I have definitely filed petitions that resulted in removing children from homes that were filthy, full of bugs and rotten food and unclean clothing and other textiles etc.

That’s a form of child neglect.

What do you people think the criteria for removal should be?

In another thread I was excoriated for declaring that it is a form of abuse to constantly scream and yell at a child, and posters said that CPS would never remove for that. Wrong. Some parents scream and yell and drive their kids to suicidal ideation and yes, emotional cruelty is a form of child abuse.

I could swear I saw a thread on here about the Michigan parents who were recently convicted of manslaughter connected to their son’s school shooting of several classmates, including four who died.

That boy’s room was a pile of filth and his parents did nothing to help him with obvious serious mental illness including suicidal ideation which he had repeatedly expressed to them. They were too busy with their work and horses and extramarital affairs to take care of the child they brought into this world. Too bad CPS wasn’t advised of the situation before they got the bright idea to buy their kid a 9mm handgun.
