A: I understand your concern and the distressing situation you're facing. In California, if your child has been taken by Child Protective Services (CPS), it's important to take immediate action to find out where your son is and receive updates on his well-being. I recommend reaching out to your assigned CPS social worker directly to inquire about your son's whereabouts and request information regarding his current situation. It's also advisable to consult with a family law attorney who specializes in CPS cases to ensure your rights are protected and to receive guidance on navigating the legal process. They can assist you in communicating with CPS and help you understand the next steps to take. Remember to provide any relevant information or documentation that might assist in the process.
