Recently ss9 and "ss"6 were removed from bm and left in our care. she is only to have supervised visits with the children. i have thankfully never had to deal with cps before so i am in the dark as to what is going on. dh is relying on bm for info instead of calling the case worker (which is soooo dumb). my questions are 1: police came beating on our door @ 3 am on friday night and told dh to get the kids. he did. he was given a card from the case worker and a piece of paper that said that she was only to have supervised visits. that's it. shouldnt he have some sort of court date or something? 2: ss6 is not dh's bio, they were never married either. ss6's bd is in prison...are they going to allow him to stay with us even though neither one of us are actually or legally kin to the child? would he be placed with someone in her family?

i agree 100% obviously the woman cant take care of her children so why in the world would he rely on her for info??!! i told him last night that he needed to call his case worker and find out what is going on! bm told him "it will be a month" i asked, a month for what? a month until a court date? i mean really this is rediculous!

OMG! I cant believe they didnt even talk with you! Yes, there should be a court date and fairly soon as a matter of fact-and dh or you should not be supervising services-if the kids are under DCS custody then they should be providing supervisors for the kids and they should most definitely beletting you know a plan of action. They can place the other child with you, but if someone else in the kids biofamily wants him and are approved then that is were he would probably go. I am so disappointed in CPS anymore. Your dh needs to call up and demand some information. If the caseworker is not in, speak to the caseworker's supervisor.

If those were my children I would be demanding answers about what was going on in that house to warrant removing them. I would need that information to determine how to handle the children. Do they now need counseling? I would not rely on sugar coated information from someone who is now only permitted supervised visitation. DH needs to call the case worker now.

well actually he knows why, apparently the mom and bf were under the influence and had ppl laid out all over the house passed out.

thank you so much! i told dh that he needed to call the case worker TODAY. bm told him "it will be a month" when i asked him what would be a month, he said he didnt know...OMG!! the children were removed at 3 a.m. friday, so would it have been tuesday or yesterday that they would have held court and do they notify dh when this happens? he said the case worker told him that night she would be contacting him but never did.

dh told me that he's been calling the case worker all day and leaving messages. all he has is a card with her name on it and phone number. if he does not hear word back by the end of the day we will try to get a number for her supervisor and find out what is going on.
