CPS workers can be the biggest bully on the
block for many families.
It's amazing how many families let CPS workers
come into their homes, inspect their homes,
give them access to confidential medical records,
give them drug screens, give them access to
their children, usually because they are intimidated
or they are afraid or they think they have
to do those things.
What's even more amazing is that often times
lawyers and prosecutors and occasionally even
judges are intimidated by CPS.
Or, it seems like people in the system don't
want to bite the hands that feed them.
If you are in court, you find that you think
the guardian ad litem, or the children's attorney
is in that category as well.
Our view of what we do for parents when we
are working on a CPS case or a neglect - abuse
case, as they are called in Michigan, is to
stand in the gap between CPS, or Child Protective
Services and the family.
We have a simple two part strategy.
One, we want to have your children in your
home.
And two, we want to have the government out
of your home.
We are experts at doing that.
We have done it form many years.
It doesn't really matter if you are in court
or out of court.
If CPS is in your life, we will work closely
with you to get them out of your life.
