Well you call cps for a bad reason, that doesn't make cps take the kids. That just gets cps at the door, which prompts further investigating. If the kids are taken it's because they found a good reason to take them. Right?
I was taken from my mom when I was a kid. Our home was clean i was healthy, and there was nothing wrong in my memory of it. I got put with my grandparents whose house had roaches and mice. I was forced to live there, and my grandma started smoking crack. Everything went downhill. She beat my grandpa. The house was never cleaned. Sometimes we had no water because they couldn't pay it. My mom fought for 10 years to get me back. The reason cps took me in the first place was my mom let them watch me for 2 weeks when she went out of state and they called cps saying I was abandoned. The system isn't always right.
It's all good. It's something that needs to be talked about. It can be painful to dredge up, but the system needs an overhaul, and CPS needs to be held to better standards. I have plenty more CPS horror stories.
