Does the DCF need a parents permission before going in and dragging a scared kid out of the house based on some specious charge of so-called 'child abuse' ? Permission has NEVER been an issue in thousands of cases like that !
Unless, of course, the danger to the victim is the guardian. Same story as with a parent accused of abuse.
What if that legal guardian is abusing the person they want to protect? If they had the ba*** they would go in.
Can't be -- the parent is legal guardian of a child and they can sure take the child away if there is abuse. They may well need court permission first, but in an emergency situation, they can pull the child and then go get permission. The restraining order is a complication, though.
I heard that also. I wish they had a TEAM oflawyers.
Seems like the lawyer said - once they said they need permission from MS - they backed down. How can they when they know there is so much evidence about mistreatment, not PVS.
Nothing is clear because they just bow to Greer - when they know what he is doing is not ethical. Fear is gripping them. Sad
UNLESS there is evidence to believe that the legal guardian may be responsible in part or in full for endangering the life of the person in question.
From the statute itself (emphasis mine):
If the vulnerable adult's caregiver or guardian is present, the protective investigator must seek the caregiver's or guardian's consent pursuant to subsection (4) before the vulnerable adult may be removed from the premises, unless the protective investigator suspects that the vulnerable adult's caregiver or guardian has caused the abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Bull $$$$$hit. The DCS doesn't have to wait for the guardian's approval or children would NEVER be removed from parents.
