A 4m old was taking by cps and officers the 1hr they knew the mother of the child wouldn’t be home.

Question

Mother and child were made to leave their home and stay with grandparents. After cps told them they were doing so good and getting a new worker. Later came by and removed us. Parents had passed all drug screens. Accuse of DV. Even though father left to avoid a simple argument like they told him to do. 2 wks after moving the mother and child . They kept asking about next therapy apt. That’s when they showed up to grandparents and took child with not giving GP any papers. Went to mothers apt. Amd gave them to her after the fact. The papers were to the parents and child’s resident not the grandparents where the child was. Has been in DSS custody for almost a year with parent only seeing him 2hrs once a week is now 14m. Parents still complying with DSS and can’t get more visitation or child home

This is essentially what often happens when you let DSS into your business and cooperate with them.  DSS is so bad that often your best bet is to simply leave the state with the child as soon as you get wind of them sniffing around.  However, in your case that ship has sailed long ago.  Now that they are in your business, getting them out is going to be very difficult.  Your options are to continue to cooperate or hire an attorney, sadly that choice is often dictated by what you can afford and they know it.  If you can not afford an attorney, they will pretty much do what ever they want.  Step out of line, piss of a worker, or even look at one of them the wrong way and you end up paying for it with more demands, more restrictions and more time away from your child.  There really is not much middle ground, you either step and fetch and hope for the best or you hire an aggressive attorney.  Best of luck.
