What Happens Next If you are WEALTHY, they will NEVER mess with you, because your top-notch lawyer that is on retainer and available on a moment’s notice will tear them to shreds. Then too, you might call your pals in the U.S. SENATE and cause LOTS of trouble. You should anyhow.
If you earn a decent wage, live in a decent house, are married, have no run-in’s with the law, and have SOME stature in the community, (In other words, if your character appears unimpeachable, while the witnesses’ character does not)- If Johnnie or Suzie told the social worker they fell off the bicycle or down the stairs or hurt themselves on the trampoline, THINGS MIGHT be OK. Whether you DID or DID NOT spank, hit, slap, or Emotionally Injure the child, you are going to AT LEAST get counseling, and go to a “Parenting Class” to be tutored in the New Age drivel.If you did Sexually Abuse a child, you deserve what you get. If you DID NOT, you are in a battle for your LIFE. If you are poor, or a minority, and have NO stature in the community- The state gets up to $6000 BONUS from the Feds if they get your child (preferably UNDER 5 years old) adopted. (FAMILY PRESERVATION is no longer the goal under the new ASFA act of 1997).The scenarios above represent what happens if you don’t know your rights, and don’t know anything about CPS BEFORE you get involved with them.By the time you figure out - THIS IS SERIOUS you have already GIVEN them your Constitutional Rights and your lunch, and they HAVE THEIR BOGUS CASE BUILT |
