How do I get my son back?
I signed over temporary custody to my mother who said she would provide a safe environment for my son until I got settled in once I had moved.
Now I am ready to bring my son home to Alaska and a lot has gone on apparently since I left California. She is now under state supervision and my son cannot leave her care or else he will be permanently placed in foster care. I had no idea that any of this was going on. She never told me and now that I am ready to have my son come home I cant because she messed up(dont assume I am being harsh. Allowing a drug dealer(more than just weed) to live in your garage and grow massive amounts of pot in your backyard is pretty serious when youve promised a safe environment and all you gave is this.)
The living situation here in Alaska is way better suited for a small family. We are drug free and like it that way. How do I go through the states and get my son back after signing over temporary custody and not being kept in the loop as to what was going on with my own sons situation?

Go to your local child protective services and ask to speak to a supervisor. Ask advice. They may know a good attorney who is licensed in both States or who knows someone in California.
Contact the supervisor overseeing your child's welfare. Tell her your side of the story and ask what you need to do to regain custody of your son, tell the supervisor that you will do anything necessary to regain custody; ie, parenting classes, psychological assessment, substance abuse assessment, etc. Ask the supervisor how to access InterState Compact and would she/he assist you to contact the appropriate caseworker/supervisor in California.
They will want a home inspection/study of your home and a background check.
Best of luck with your endeavors, for your son's sake as well as yours.

Find a lawyer in your mom's county. It is the only way to fight CPS. Hunker down for a long and painful battle because CPS honestly believes they are the right hand of God.
