If one child is being abused or neglected why would anyone believe that it is unlikely the other children are in danger? Since they felt something happened to one child that was bad enough to take the child away, they have to protect the other children as well if the adult that caused the situation would still remain.

It may depend on what State you're in. Speaking from Texas here, the "rules" change from time to time, depending on the mood of the voters, but I remember that our cps sometimes would leave a child or two in the home depending on what they got the offending person to do, such as go to jail or otherwise get out of the home and only seeing the kids under strict cps supervision. Again, those rules were susceptible to change depending on the mood of the voters and whether any crisis or trauma happened to the child(ren) left in the home. I don't know about other States. God Bless you.

I would think that if one child in the household is in enough danger for cps to remove them then all of the children in the house should be considered to be in just as much danger and should be removed as well. You don't have a right to keep your children if you are endangering them, even one of them, in any way!

If the CPS determines that any child in a house is in danger, then they have the right to remove all children under the assumtion that all the children are in danger.
Julie, your answer is just idiotic. Let me guess, you have had a disagreement with CPS in the past.

CPS evaluates the person abusing, not the abusee. If they think there's a chance the person is guilty they will take any and all children away. They assume if you abuse one child, you will abuse all the others.

I live in NC also...and I've always seen them take all the kids...they take them all to ensure they aren't endangered.

They will do whatever they want and don't care about the law, your rights, or what's right and wrong
