Are you speaking of sex offending a minor in the home?
Then yes there has to be an investigation.

Absolutely and rightly so. If the child is settled otherwise why should the offender get to inflict further pain and misery upon them by having the child removed from their familiar surroundings and family members. The offender is made subject of an exclusion order by the court. Obviously there has to be investigation procedures and the child may be removed temporarily for interviews or assessments but the court will rule in the best interests of the child and may make the social services the legal guardian if need be.

It depends on the circumstances and who owns the home. In today's day and age, it varies greatly with so many broken families. Say for instance a child screams abuse, and reports someone in the household. Police are called immediately to investigate. If they find nothing, nobody leaves. If they find an unruly child looking for attention, that child gets a trip to juvenille detention. If they find physical abuse, the abuser is arrested and removed on the spot. If they find sexual abuse, the abuser is removed immediately in hand cuffs as well. If someone is removed, that person cannot, under any circumstances return to the residence until it's gone through the court system. Thanks to some very strong willed people who believe in children's rights, this bill has been passed in every state. It's the child protection act.

if a child has been physically or sexually abused, or mentally abused, or knocked about, then the perpetrator has no right to be in the same house, and will be excluded from the property. Orders can be brought before the Court in a very short time, which can forbid the offender from approaching the child within half a mile, if required.

Yes this is true. If a minor suggests any type of abuse either the child will be removed from home or the person accused will be removed from the home until an investigation can be completed.

Yes, ANY abuse and the person that is being accused of the abuse will either be removed from the home or the child(ren) will be removed from the home. My ex was asked to leave the home when he abused (physically) his two year old daughter with his gf. My child was present. there is still a custody battle, but he had to leave the home for a year

Yes, that is true. My friend's ex husband was physically abusive to her while she was pregnant. In order for her to bring her daughter home from the hospital, she had to have him completely moved out of the house. CPS even offered to help him pack, basically, in order to get him out quicker. An order of protection was issued and she was told that if he was found there, she would lose the baby to the system until things were resolved.

The offending person can be prevented from access to the child and any other children depending on what the offence is.
