Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Texas
A woman is being told by a receptionist a hospital that if she does not enroll her suicidal daughter in that specific hospital, the receptionist will call Child Protective Services. Does the Receptionist have the grounds to make that call, and does CPS have any right to action, provided that the woman is actively seeking help for her daughter. The mother is searching for hospitals to help her daughter and simply does not feel comfortable with the conditions of the hospital where the threatening receptionist works.
