Portage, MI asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Michigan

Q: can cps remove children with a safety plan instead of a court order?

Safety plan was unknown to mother

Daughter (1 of 3) children was assaulted, mother reported all known info of perpetrator to cps and state police

After daughter came forward there was a voicemail from a cps agent to the mother stating that she is not allowed to pick up her children from their grandmother. Children removed 4 days after.

A: Sounds like CPS would have had the removal order either way.
