if someone is reported to chid protective services for neglect and not providing a proper home for their cildren, will they automatically be placed in foster care or can a set of loving and willing grandparents have first choice. What do you think?

In Wyoming, or at least by Casper they try to place them with family. If they family can't take them then they go to a foster home. Trust me I know what I am talking about, my girls were taken on Friday. We are lucky because our CPS office is only interested in reunification and not adopting the kids out. They tell the foster family that their goal is reunification and that they don't want them to be adopted and not to get it into their heads that they are going to be able to adopt them.

It all depends.. usually they go to family first then foster care.. but it all depends on which state your in and how the family is... but i do believe that they should go to famliy.. but no one cares anymore.. because my husbands ex brother(long story) had cps called on his kids cuz he can't take care of them and cps didn't do anything! sorry but they didn't and these kids are having a horrible life!

It all depends on the case. Usually a family member will be the first on the list for the children, but CPS will have to do a background check and all that before just placing them with someone in the family. If it's a clean record, then it should be okay. But if their isn't any family, then they would go with CPS. CPS will just do regular check ups.

no because CPS has an obligation to discover what is going on at the home of the child and then they have to resolve their "case" to see whether it is founded or unfounded if its founded it means that they have to look deeper and lawyers will be involved and quite possibly your child could be taken from you but if its unfounded it means that there was nothing wrong and the case will stay in their system for like a year or maybe more
