Question

they have NOT charged me only have Reason To Believe.....I retained a lawyer, and I would love to talk to someone who has gone through this, do I even have a leg to stand on here ?????

The situation is this, I was letting my daughter live with me (who is the baby's mom) and her b/f was living with me too, and I knew they were abusive towards each other (but I KNEW that baby would never get hurt) I was home almost ALL the time) but still I knew that they had a histroy of abuse, Because of this CPS wont let me have the kids in my home,.... Even tho I have moved and the b/f dosnt know where i live, and I have also kicked my daughter out of my house....

PLease help. Do I have ANY chance at restitution here ?????

Answer 1

Try again, and use a dictionary.  I am pretty sure you don't mean "restitution."  Beyond that, I have no idea of what you are trying to ask.  Your description of what happened is murky at best.

Answer 2

I apologize if this seems harsh; I don't intend for it to be in the least abusive or judgmental, but you need to listen to good advice when it is given.  That or do not solicit advice.

By checking your past questions, there are other issues you need to address.  I hate to advocate for a screwed up agency like CPS, but they may have gotten this one right.

Best advice at this point is to do what the case worker tells you, exactly what the case worker tells you, and nothing less.  If you are told to jump in place for thirty minutes and whoop like a crane, do it. (That's hyperbole).  CPS policies make it difficult for them to remove children permanently from families.  If you do what you are told to do, and act in the best interest of the child, she will be returned to you.

Now I feel grimey so I have to go shower.  Just do what you're supposed to do no matter how much you dislike what you are told to do.  Sometimes even CPS has a reason.

Answer 3

   I don't understand what you are asking.  If they are not your children, then why would CPS be charging you and not the parents?  And why are they charging anyone?  Were the children neglected?  If so, and it took place under your roof, then you are guilty, because you didn't intervene.  Why would the courts allow you to have the children when you didn't take care of them previously?   And I wouldn't go around telling people you knew the parents were abusive.  That just sets you up to be sued.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The way to clear your name and then start building a good name for yourself is simple but yet can be oh so difficult - set aside what you want, and try to make decisions based on what is best for the children involved.
