Q: Can DFACS make me take my kids from their home if there was an accident which led to a bruise on a child
There has never been any violence or abuse. There is no criminal record whatsoever. Everyone has told CPS it was an accident.
A: CPS will conduct their investigations and make recommendations based on what they feel is in the best interest to protect the child. If they remove a child from a home they must feel they have a good reason for doing so. Whether or not they do it in this case is something we can’t answer, because we don’t know all the details. If they do take the child you may want to consult with an attorney who can review the facts and present you with your options.
A: I agree with attorney Jordan. We would need more facts to give you an accurate answer on whether there are any grounds for this recommendation.
