My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: California
I am currently under investigation by CPS. My son told a teacher he was falling asleep in class because his grandfather, (who was staying with us temporarily), drank too much and it made him worry too much to sleep. So teacher called CPS! He was actually staying up sneaking to play x-box, grandpa was asleep before us! So the CPS guy shows up sees 2 empty beer bottles next to the trash and says my husband and I need to drug test, (the CPS guy even admitted this was not procedure just his preference)! Even though grandpa was the one who admitted he was the one who drank it and he was leaving the next day. So because I was informed they can take my kids if I refused to take the test we both went that evening. Anyways we both have prescriptions for marijuana, I've been on and off prescription painkillers and muscle relaxers for the last 10yrs, I tested positive for a medication I have no way of proving I have a prescription for as it was from an old script from the ER from a few years back. However, I can prove I have been on these kinds of medications and that I have multiple reasons to be on said medications all from the Doctor.
My home is clean, my kids are happy, well fed and well adjusted. Honestly, he's been more traumatized by CPS than us!
My question is can California CPS take my kids for something like this!?
Please help I really need an answer, we are barely scraping by financially and cannot afford a lawyer.
Thanks from a desperate momma bear in Cali
