Juvenile Dependency Court Procedures
Summary
In California, Child Protective Services (CPS) can remove a child if theres reasonable suspicion of risk, even without confirmed abuse or neglect. Social workers should provide reasonable services to prevent removal, but immediate risk may bypass this. The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) offers extra protections for Native American children. Visitation rights prioritize the childs best interests, and foster parents may supervise visits if court-approved. Parents should be informed of significant incidents affecting their child, like a foster parents DUI. If information is withheld, legal action may be warranted.
