Re: Grandaughter

Yes. CPS often acts on reports of child abuse or endangerment. Your daughter should immediately retain an attorney, with experience in dependency court. Then she needs to determine what reasons are being given for removing the child from her custody. She can take some preemptive action by taking a parenting course. Taking a parenting course is not an admission of bad parenting, but shows the desire to become a better parent.
