Q: What does cps have to prove to get an court order on a drug test in ohio? .
They came out to my house because they say . That my kid asked someone (Another kid ) if they were high . And said my kid was watching something on her phone like pornhub or something like that . Cps is saying I have to drug test for that reason .
A: To get a warrant the government needs to establish probable cause that a crime has occured that is "sufficient information, derived from a reasonably trustworthy source, to warrant a prudent man in believing that a felony has been committed and that it has been committed by the accused". That being said, if you are not careful CPS will use your statements to give rise to "concerns" about your kid's safety and allege you are being "uncooperative" Better to engage the services of an attorney who regularly practices in your county's juvenile court.
