If a child is snatched and grabbed by Health and Human Services does anyone hear?

More often than not, when a child is placed in the care of Health and Human Services or the Department of Human Services (DHS) as we call it here, the abuse or neglect is so bad that the DHS had no other choice. Probably the child should have been removed long before s/he is. I have very little sympathy for parents/guardians who allow this to happen and think that they should be held criminally libel in most instances.If a child is snatched and grabbed by Health and Human Services does anyone hear?The CPS worker should give you a notice for court, if you are a parent of the child.



Usually, there is a hearing within 72 working hours from the time the child is detained (a Detention Hearing).



After that, you could expect another hearing within 2 weeks, usually with a mediator and the CPS worker. At that point, they will present evidence and try to get you to agree to it, so they don't have to prove guilt in a trial. This is called the Predispostion Hearing.



If you don't agree to the findings of the CPS worker, it goes to court. They'll supply you with a Public Defender.If a child is snatched and grabbed by Health and Human Services does anyone hear?This would be such a sad situation. I hope it hasn't happened to someone you love. You know, it would be so much better for the children if the biological mother could have considered loving her baby enough to release it to a loving adoptive couple. There are too many children who are not able to be properly parented without some sort of abuse. Many pregnant mothers think this little baby will smile and coo and love them without any crying. Giving life to a little one is a brave thing to do. Releasing a child for adoption is even braver and very loving.If a child is snatched and grabbed by Health and Human Services does anyone hear?Believe it or not but there are people who work for Health and Human Services, Children and Families, HRS or whatever you want to call it, that do have a heart. They care but because of their case load they are spread too thin. They are not super humans.



If a child is placed in one of these departments, the close relatives of that child has a responsibility to the child to make sure they are heard and are safe.



I would do it for any of the children in my family, grandchildren, great grands, nieces, nephews, etc. I would make sure they were being cared for and would do all I could to help the child.



Wouldn't you?
