Legal Question in Family Law in California
Fighting C.P.S.
In 2002 my daughter was sentenced to 6 yrs.suspended sentence, this was for the death of her child which was said to be shaken baby syndrome. She was released from jail Feb.2004 and unfortunatly wound up preagnant. She has done all that the courts have asked of her and more taking steps to prevent the removal of her child, including informing all the necessary people along with having a program attends set her up with a home health care nurse. Her baby was born on 12/2/04, and all seemed wonderful, untill 12/09/04 when C.P.S. came and removed the child from her custody. She is currently trying to have reunification with her baby, having such people as her probation officer, a minister, and various other community workers support reunification as well. It seems that the case worker for my grandchild isnt' willing to consider reunification. I am doing all the research i possibly can to help her case have the only conseivably just outcome, my grandchild being returned to his parents. Are there any case laws or rullings that may be used in reference to having reunification for all involved here. Where do I look and what do I look for to help this case? Please help me to save not only my daughter but my family as well. Thankyou

Re: Fighting C.P.S.
I have taken the specific legal issue you raised (the constitutionality of WIC 300(f)) to the Supreme Court. I lost. I sympathize.
