    Default CPS is Not Providing Proper Oversight of a Child's Medical Care

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio

    My son was born premature and his lungs were under-developed, so he was in the hospital (never left) for 7 months, going through surgeries and such. CPS got involved and placed him in a foster home that deals with medically fragile kids. He has contracted MRSA while in the foster home, and there is even a child there that has AIDS.... and the Foster Mom is "all natural", meaning she doesn't shave nor wear deodorant. CPS was originally involved because the father's mother told them that I was on heroin. I wasn't and never was, they found this out through several hair follicle tests. Now, (18 months later) I was notified yesterday that my son is in ICU and has to have heart surgery. He has been in ICU for two weeks, and they are just now telling me. I am pretty pissed. I have went through all the training classes to know how to handle his equipment and take good care of him, as he is still on oxygen and such. Over the last 18 months, my CPS worker has let two vouchers expire that was supposed to buy his equipment and has ducked and dodged almost every call from me checking up on the case. The judge has warned her several times about it, but she keeps getting away with it by saying I'm the one not doing my part. How can I go about filing charges on a CPS worker? I have already filed complaints, but to nothing happens because she is buddy-buddy with her supervisor. I should also mention that I am a black woman living in a very rural area and I suspect a lot of this is racism. So who do I call? How can I get justice? Someone please help me with this...

    What do hairy armpits and a baby with AIDS have to do with it - those facts just make you sound sort of crazy, frankly, since neither are risks to your son. CPS doesn't just "get involved" for giggles, so what else happened? I'd leave the racism out of it as well, that will get you nowhere.

    My only worry with the "all natural" foster mom is that she might also be doing her own remedies with him.. Andy son, as fragile as he is, living in the same household as a child with AIDS increases my worries for my son even more. He doesn't have the greatest immune system as it is, and he doesn't need to contract AIDS to worsen that immune system. But I digress. This entire case has been unfair to me and my son both. It's quite unfair that a woman in this county will fail a drug test for pills that weren't prescribed to her nor the father, and then manage to get her kids back within two weeks. Is there atleast an organization that can investigate my case with CPS?

    The fact that foster mom doesn't shave is neither here nor there. You "think" that the child might come to harm - but you've got absolutely no proof of that whatsoever.

    So what happened? There was an allegation of heroin use that was later proven to be not the case - why is the child still with foster mom?

    And I do mean "what happened". Did you fail to complete the case plan?
