Q: Would I be able to sue the department of social services in alamosa county?
I have an open case with the department of social services here in alamosa co. They took my children from me on August 29th 2018. I'm still not sure exactly why my kids were taken from me. I have just recently found out that my nine year old son has been diagnosed with rheumatic fever.

A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. Social services should tell you why they took your children. You can contact them to find out. If they were concerned for the children's safety and removed them for that reason, unless they did not have a sufficient basis for the determination a lawsuit would likely not be successful.
