The couple both got in trouble for small amount of drugs at the same time. Wasn't sure if I believed it because it seems like that would be taking away your rights. Temp. custody giving to grandmother. Can the courts really do this???

OK You know what happens when you assume? You make an *** out of you and me!!! It is not me it is people I know. I do not have kids, or drugs in my life!!! The real question is can they say two adults cannot communicate, I don't think they should be able too!!!

It is a standard term and condition of probation that the probationer can not be around anyone on probation or parole unless it is an immediate family member. That means it is allowable for the Court to keep the two adults apart, since they have each been convicted and they are not immediate family members to one another. If they had married prior to their arrests, they would be able to be together.

As for the child being given to the grandmother, the Court probably did that so that the child would be cared for while the parents are unable to care for child.

Why did you have drugs around a child?
And why are you taking up for other person?
And why arent you happy it is only TEMPORARY?
And why are you saying it is only a SMALL amt of drugs?
ANd why is it ANY AMOUNT OF DRUGS??
AND do you deserve to have any kids if you can do that?
ANd does Grandma have the health and the money and the
resources to be taking care of a kid at this time in her life?
ANd what is wrong with you that at this time in your life you dont
know that DRUGS ARE BAD????
ANd what are you THINKING raising a kid when you dont even know that DRUGS are not something that a KID SHOULD be around?
ANd dont you know that ANY COURT IN the world will take a child away from DRUGS??
wow--next time it might be a foster home---I feel sorry for the kid.
WHAT A STABLE ENVIROMENT YOU ARE PROVIDING.....

I say----staighten up--pick the best thing for the kid, get off the internet and find out why you think the COURT IS IN THE WRONG when it is OBVIOUS you need to get some help.

Good luck...wait---tell your kid....GOOD LUCK for me.....

Yes they were before the court. I am not sure if this was an order in thier criminal cases or in the custody proceeding. In either one it could be made a condition. In the latter proceeding the only issue is the welfare of the child. In this case the court found, at least on a temporay basis, that it was not in the best interest of the child for these people to be around him/her.

In these proceedings the only rights the court is interested in are the childs. No parent has a right to cause harm to a child. And apparently the judge found that to be the case here.

I think you've got to assume the judge knew the full facts of the case and acted in the child's best interests. It's now down to the Mother to prove she is fit and responsible enough to regain custody. If she can no judge would separate them any longer than necessary.

Yes they can. It is in best interest of the child to be away from drug addicts. Even the mother can lose custody of her child, with full rights given to an aunt, grandparent, or even a foster home.

Well yeah. You you see the courts try to protect kids from scumbag parents that care more about getting high than the welfare of their kids. You give up the right to be a parent when you involve your kids in the drug lifestyle.

When the JUDGE speaks, you'd damn well better listen. Period. BTW, they're lucky they have any rights at all. I don't think anyone who has that little sense and respect for the wellbeing of their children has a right to have children. There are plenty of people out there willing to foster and/or adopt kids whose parents are just plain stupid.

Yes the courts can do that, they can even tell a mother/father how much interaction per day they can have with a child.

Yes they can, i know thats not what you want to hear, but they can prety much do anything, especially since they were caught with drugs. Even if its just a little bit of weed, they have every excuse they need to come into your home and take your kids if they want. tell them not to answer any questions and get a lawyer. CPS can use any little thing against you. Dont let them talk to your kids without a lawyer, tell your kids not to answer anything, they will twist it. a dirty dish in your sink, can become a dirty or filthy kitchen in their report.

Yes, for the child's safety and welcare come first and when the child's parents are on drugs, the child could be in jeopardy.
