when cps is investigating and they feel it is necessary for the child to not be in the home. in most states you can make arrangements for them to stay with other family members or family friends. sorry still think it was abuse ignoring that injury.
I hear you. Where we live, we don’t have the option of relatives taking the kids...so maybe our choice was much easier than for others.
cps “feels it necessary” in far too many cases. They begin with the false premise that they are the primary protectors of all children - AND THEY ARE WRONG!
That you support the snatching of children at the whim of some bureaucrat is chilling.
Yes, being placed with grandparents or aunts and uncles is better, but it still does not erase the trauma of being forcibly removed from and separated from their parents.
If you have PROOF of abuse, by all means, get the children to a safe place. Without such proof, know your place!.
