Is it easy to get an adult committed?

Your parents are awesome and I wish more parents laid down the law like yours do. I work for CPS and just one my caseload I have a pregnant 11 yr old, 13 year old and her 15 yr old sister is...

Did mom have her rights terminated by the court or did she ask you to take legal guardianship of her son?

I work for CPS in Texas. If you decide that you can longer care for the child and there are no available and appropriate family members then the child will come back into the system. If she...

The legal experts will step in and offer advice soon. I just wanted to tell you my thoughts are with you. I work for CPS here in TX and see false allegations DV allegations made against parents all...

I just want to make sure I understand correctly. When CPS became involved were the children placed with you full-time temporarily till your girlfriend can figure out her issues?

Thank you. Just passed the information onto my sister.

My sister and her husband have a two year old child and no will in place as to who he should be placed with if on the off chance both of them die. I have dealt with only a handful of this situation...

Will she have any family support once she gives birth?

Have you called CPS and told them that you are wanting to refuse to accept your parental rights? That won't get you an easy out by any means but it will give you more resources to try to get help so...

In all seriousness have you suggested she go to the gym and get a personal trainer? They cannot make her butt bigger but they can show her exercises like squats to help her firm up her butt. As a...

I have a co-worker that she and I plain and simple do not like each other. We had to work closely for about 6 months and were very professional and courteous. Now that we are in separate areas we...

Yeah she needs to keep her having loud sex with her girlfriend to another place that is not your home. How does your husband feel about all this? Does he prefer not to confront her?

I know. I was thinking that the other day when I posted something. I just haven't done it yet because I don't feel comfortable. I know it sounds ridiculous since it's not like anyone will be able...

I have to drug test people all the time with the work I do. I have yet to see anyone who had used hydro within the past 7 days not come back positive for opiates. Just my experience.

In my state it is 60 days after the child is born.

Since there are no police reports I am assuming that you never went to a domestic violence shelter? The reason I ask is that I've dealt with moms and kids who have gone into a shelter to get away...

I can only speak to the families I work with in my state but some of them feel a lot of shame whether they were raped or gang raped and never make a report to law enforcement. The moms tell me that...

If he doesn't want to stop drinking then putting the pill in his drink is not worth it. I was married to a drunk for 7 years and FINALLY realized that there was nothing I do to make him stop.

You can definitely call an intake into CPS anonymously. You could also give your first name and email which would make allow CPS to follow up with you during the case to see if there are on-going...

My ex-husband and I got divorced in PA 7 years ago. We got an attorney and paid $500. It would have only been $200 but I wanted a settlement in writing stating our dog was going to be mine, which...

I just want to make sure I am reading your post correctly. Your son's mom is okay with you moving him to CA?

When CPS was given temporary conservatorship of your children, were you appointed an attorney at the first hearing? In my state the parent(s) are appointed an attorney at the first heaing. The...

Having been married to a drunk for 7 years, I tried the whole "would you agree to cutting your consumption down to 4 days a week". He readily agreed and then I would find bottles hidden. When I...

Please, please turn him in. Is the court date soon? You could call his PO and he/she could have him come in for a random drug test if you feel the court date is far off. Good luck!

In my state you just have to serve them at the prison they are incarcerated in. I have had at least 2 of the parents I work with be able to do this.

Did you sign a power of attorney giving your sister temporary guardianship? You may want this to be your first step before you attempt to relinquish your parental rights. As many have stated in...

Do you call law enforcement when she starts destroying stuff? I feel for you because teens who think that they run their homes are exceptionally difficult to live with.

My motivation ended up being my doctor telling me that if I continued to gain weight I was looking at diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiac issues and on and on. I was actually still in denial for...

I have worked with sex offenders that if there is a storm, it sometimes knocks out the system that monitors their GPS. They were arrested both times that this happened. They were at home and the...

Artlady, if you call CPS then you could be considered a relative placement while your daughter works through what her next step is. This is the safest step for your grandchild. Much luck.

I know it is so hard to let go. I knew my marriage was close to death right before I agreed to the divorce. My ex-husband told me his feelings and let me sit with it for a few hours. I realized...

I just have to echo what fr_chuck stated. Please put him on support even if you never see a dime. In my state they are doing the every 3 month round up of arresting all parents who are not paying...

I would especially since you have concerns about the mother abusing prescription meds.

In the state where I live, the expectation for the parents is that they provide stable housing. The neighborhood the parents live in does not factor into the court's decision here in my state.

I am not clear if you are worried about the Child Services worker coming out or the impending court case. If you are worried about the visit with the CS worker, they will ask to see all legal...

Just curious have you reported your concerns to the chid abuse hotline in your state? I can only speak to the state I live in but if you did make a report, it was investigated and CPS did not find...

I will find out tomorrow at work to see if it is my entire state or just our county that makes it so easy. It really bugs me how easy it is in my state but again maybe it's just my county. One of...

It's really interesting to read the responses from those of you who live in other states regarding relinquishment of parental rights. I am almost embarrassed how easy it is for a parent to...

I am sorry. I meant to say if he wasn't advocating appropriately. I am new to this and actually do appreciate the reminders about posting to things that are old. Unfortunately I will make mistakes...

That is the hard part. You have to have eaten gluten recently to get a good reading. So essentially you have to punish yourself if you already knew gluten was an issue. I had never heard of celiac...

I saw you gave up the gluten but have you been tested for celiac? I tested off the charts for celiac in 2004. Once I finally accepted that I had to eat gluten free for the rest of my life, my...

If the children's attorney ad litem is advocating appropriately for the children, he or she can be fired. I know that in TX 12 months to get their children back. Sometimes parents can request a 6...

Contact the legal department of the CPS in the county you were placed in. They can tell you how to obtain the investigation that led to you being removed from your home.

Can she be returned to your home or are there other relatives or family friends she can be placed with? She'll probably have a hard time since she can't rent an apartment or make medical decisions...

Give your child's father full legal custody of the child. You could call the TX Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 and tell them that you want to refuse to accept parental responsibility for your...
