Does anyone know what CPS (Child Protective Services) can and can't do?


Like can they come and take someones kids anyway on a false report? Do they have to look into it before they take the kids or can they take the kids and then look into it??

Depends on the type of report they get. if it is bad enough they will take them first and then check it out. if it is not real bad they will leave them and then investigate.

In Uk they do have the power to take the children away if they believe the children are at risk, and then

investigate, but heavily depends on what the report is saying, not something they do lightly tho,

Thats strange I always thought it only took one to get a divorce. as far as the cps they need to take into consideration who is making the claim in the first place... she may have to put up a fight to keep her children.. but she needs to do it politically and legally, I'd start by getting a restraining order on this guy... sounds to me like he might be making an early play to get custody.

Hope it works out teddybear

In some cases they can take the kids away but it depends on the state, the charges & the record of the parent being accused... not to mention the general demeanor or the case worker that day.

Typically, they investigate first time reports before acting on them... not to mention, as a deployed parent by reporting issues like this against the opposite parent, he stands the children being left where they are. The military doesn't allow for single parents or custody to deployed parents so CPS will often opt to keep the child where they are.

She might want to call his C/O & lodge a complaint. As a member of the military, family issues are often held in high regards & the military parent is expected to act in a civil manner at all times. I remember a child in my school ran home & told her mother a wild story about my family(Army brat here) which resulted in my father getting pulled into the post commanders office for a royal *sschewing... even though he had done nothing wrong. They still promote this concept to the is day.


Maybe this will be of some help.

dunno what the laws are in the US but i have a friend (who's a lone parent) who's had his children taken from him TWICE while investigations were made into allegations of neglect and beatings. i've known this guy (and even shared a place with him) for over 20 years and know how much he loves his kids. he spent over 2 years fighting for custody and getting a place sorted for them and i still visit 3-4 times per week and i know these allegations were untrue. however, the law says the kids had to be removed for their own safety until they feel it's safe to return them. needless to say, his kids are now back with him but it was a harrowing time for him.
