[quote=Anonymous]And here is info from CPS Ffax: "A child is removed from the home only as a last resort. As defined in Virginia law, this would be when there is "imminent threat to the life or health of the child." In such cases, CPS social workers do not act alone. They must have court approval to remove a child from a parent's custody. Usually, approval occurs before the child is removed, however, in extreme emergencies, the court may approve after the removal." So here is what happens: CPS gets a call --> investigates --> if abuse is unlikely (ie. it is apparent that Larla fell and was not pushed down on purpose) the case is dropped. --> if something is off there still are 2 choices: CPS offers services to the family, they part ways or --> Something is terribly off and the child is taken away from home. Child will go to other family members and only if no one is available, then will they go to a foster home. [/quote]
