A: Hello. A hotel is not the "best" place for a child, but that fact alone would not get her removed, in my opinion. Best of luck!

A: Possibly. Is she staying at the Walforf Astoria, or a drug ridden flophouse where the roaches march around the room calling cadence? The state expects that the child have a fit and proper place to live. Who is in the hotel room with her? Her boyfriend and three others? They (DHR) will come look and if it is not a place a child needs to be, you can bet they will pick the child up. Provide some additional facts and you'll get some good opinions.
