Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
E.R. Room assumptions
Does the E.R. room of a hospital and its employees, have the right to call the communications ctr. and the police and say that a child patient they have in their E.R. room has methamphetimine in their system, without a confirmed test. In other words with only one test that shows amphetimine, and NO second test taken to show methamphetimine? And then call Child Protective Services and tell them the same info. Then take that child patient from its Mother and put it into foster home the next day. When family try to pick up child after Mother is arrested they tell Family members the child had injested Methamphetimine and lucky to be alive?

Re: E.R. Room assumptions
It was not the hospital that took the child and placed it in a foster home. Child protective services did that. The relatives may be able to have the child in their home after CPS has checked the family and home.
It is very probable that a warrant for your arrest will be issued for possession of a controled substance.

Yes, they have that right. Actually, they are required to do that.
