They were just under a year old we missed their first Xmas and new years. Right before a big case hearing they told us “we got lucky”” nobody could find the results, not the police that drove my baby away, not the hospital that starved my other baby and fed him Adavan a drug not approved for children under 6 he was 10 months, and not the courts, or cps.

A:
Under California law, Child Protective Services (CPS) has the authority to remove children from their homes if there is a reasonable suspicion of neglect or abuse, including exposure to drugs. However, they are required to follow due process, which includes providing evidence to support their actions. If CPS removed your children without presenting concrete test results to substantiate their claims, this might raise questions about the procedures they followed and your rights.
If you find yourself in a situation where your children have been taken by CPS without clear evidence or justification presented to you, it's crucial to seek legal advice immediately. Attorneys experienced in family law can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system, ensure your rights are protected, and work towards reunifying your family. They can also advise on steps to take if there were procedural errors or rights violations during the process.
It's also advisable to document everything related to your case, including any communication with CPS, the police, or the hospital. This documentation can be vital in legal proceedings. Advocacy groups may offer additional support and guidance throughout this challenging time, helping you to understand your rights and the legal pathways available to you.
