Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

If I am arrested for child endangerment in Porterville, California, taken to jail and held with a $100,000 bail what is the result of this? My kid ws taken by the Child Protective Services, then released to the father after four days. I have been released after five days in jail and I did not see a judge or attorney. They released me the night I was supposed to see the judge but I never did.
What does this mean about my case? Can I still be charged, have the charges been dropped. Do I have criminal charges still hanging? If I can still be charged, why did they not let me appear before a judge or have an attorney speak to me about my case. Can you please clarify this. I talked to the CPS, they are making me take some classes and will not close the case till the father files sole custody and I finish the classes. They made us both sign papers in order to get the kid back. But neither action was actually taken to court and told by a judge. I had to sign the papers in prison before being released. What does this mean for my case and does CPS have the right to make me and father both sign papers requiring us to do certain things in order to get the child back.. The father was not even aware of the incident because he was working 150 miles away in LA. but they still refused to give him the child back for four days and only if he signed papers filing for sole custody of child

Hire an attorney, all of this can only be answered by an attorney who digs into the case. Online will do nothing for you.
