Under what conditions can a child be taken from a family? what about an underage child of a compulsive hoarder? Can they be taken away?

Each child welfare case is individual. The Social worker will take a child away if there is reason to believe they are not immediately safe in the home. There can be plans put in place to assure the safety of the children.

This is a question for an attorney. I would assume that a person that is a compulsive hoarder would not have the most favorable living conditions for a child and may not be mentally stable , or a good influence on a young child.

If the child is being negleted or abused. If the child's health and welbeing is in danger a child can be taken away. A compulsive hoarder?? Well it all depends on if the stuff that's being hoarded is making the house unsafe for a child....
DIfferent states have different laws so it's hard to say.
Good luck and I hope this answer helped.

The answer to the first question is too many to list, neglect, abuse, drug use, etc. About the underage child of a hoarder, I just read an article about this today, yes they can. Especially if the living conditions are unsafe. If there is feces or uneaten food and trash everywhere, filthy beds, no food, unusable bathrooms.

the rules are getting rougher these days. it doesnt take much for a child to be taken away from their families. although they do typically try to let the child stay in the family whether it be an aunt or cousin or whatever. usually any form of abuse will get them taken away faster than anything, and or neglect. i don't know about being a hoarder though they may just want to evaluate you first to make a decision

Children can be taken away for many, many reasons.
What is it you hoard> "children"???
If your hoarding things, and not making the surroundings of where your keeping your hoardings, they could probably take the child if they think the surroundings aren't kept clean enough.
You can hoard, but you can also make sure the stuff is in order and CLEAN.

I am sure the main objective of the courts would be to see that the mother get help in getting her hoarding under control so that she could retain custody of her child. that is usually the ultimate goal, the child to stay with his mother.

Are you serious???
What has hoarding got to do with child welfare??
You may find they will take you away and leave the child, as would only seem correct!
