Re: Rights of CPS
Yes. If a child's life is endangered, CPS can do whatever they feel is necessary.
It's similar to a policeman observing a crime while driving down the street and stopping to investigate and/or stop the crime.
She needs an attorney as soon as possible.
If she has no money, she needs to find some.
She is not entitled to a free attorney unless CPS is going to terminate her parental relationship to the children.
