Re: Laws regarding CPS ethics, rules and regulations

You are a foster parent. And the agency responsible for the safety of the children took the other kids away. That's what they're supposed to do. As to the care of these children you have very few rights that are superior to the rights of these children to be protected. You signed a contract to be a foster parent. Start there, then look at the various code sections in probably the Health and Safety Code. Start with any code sections mentioned in the contract.
