If they have probable cause to do so, and seeing as how you mentioned that the child was said to have been exposed to amphetamines during pregnancy, then yes, they do have probable cause to remove the child from the situation without the parents consent.
Since the father wants custody of the child, he will have to go to court.

initially, the Social centers have greater suitable than adequate capability thanx, and that they nonetheless won't be able to do the interest appropriate 0.5 the time by way of many components, no longer basically human blunders. As for abortions, i do no longer think of that distinctive subject remember will ever be resolved one way or the different. exciting to notice that the morning after pill and contraceptive pill do give up a conceived foetus attaching to the womb, so there are literally thousands of 'abortions' each and each month. additionally, women human beings having been aborting babies for thousands of years one way or yet another. infants have constantly be difficulty to the grownup international and each thing it brings. i could say that babies in some international locations are greater risk-free now than they have been in centuries till now. i could extremely stay with my mothers and dads separate than ripping one yet another's heads off. Years in the past human beings could no longer take their infants far off from violent and abusive relationships. There has constantly been baby killings, we've international information now, so it seems greater. i think of it somewhat is severe time that fogeys had some rights over their infants and not basically be used as babysitters via government establishments who 'think of' they be attentive to what's terrific. there's no longer something in this international that could tournament the affection of blood family participants participants. no longer all families are suitable, yet they have one yet another, in line with threat you're able to do properly to observe some episodes of Shameless, see in case you may get your head around it.

Yup, you bet. If the Department has reason to belive and/or evidence of prenatal drug use that abuse pure and simple. If the father can show he's clean and capable they'll be GLAD to have him care for the child.
