child protection workers, what are the grounds for removing a child based on neglect?
my sisters kids need to be taken away from her, i hate it but it is what has to be done, she neglects her children's medical ,dental and emotional needs child protection has been called but it seems like they may not remove them, why i don't know, i have spoken to the case worker myself and he seems to agree, is this just a long process??? i want them out of there now. its not that she doesn't know what she needs to do, she is just lazy and i think she doesn't care, she almost never hugs her oldest daughter (age 6) calls her a little b#@&h and says that she feels "retarded" when she hugs her, screams at her all the time, doesn't help her with homework, and let her go for 2 weeks with a bladder infection, she has a 4 year old that we were thinking was autistic, but after having him at my house this weekend, i don't think there is really anything wrong other than he is very neglected, i just need some advice if there is anyone that can help.
nadia, I love my sister very much, and you have no idea how many sleepless nights i have spent due to this problem. unfortunately i live 2 hours away, and i have a husband with a serious heart condition and my own business and 2 children of my own. i still am a good mother to my kids. she has no excuse. she has never held a job, she is too lazy, she is not depressed as that was my first concern. she has popped out 5 kids, the 2 older ones have already been taken by their fathers these kids dad is in prison. i am not turning on my sister, i want her to get off her lazy butt and take care of her babies! but she refuses to do so. my moral obligation is to make sure they are taken care of. and furthermore i have already told cps that i will take all three of them, that is part of the reason i never called before is because i was afraid that they would be placed in fostercare. but cps has informed me that they will be place with family if possible. and also her daycare turned her in not me.
and they turned her in because she was sending her 1 year old baby to daycare with bottles of rotten milk with mold growing in them.
