Child protective services does no decide if a parent is unfit. A judge will decide that. Child protective services can and will however, help the judge to decide by presenting any evidence they have found that may prove the parent unfit.

Does a child in Child Protective Services have a legal right as to where the child should live?

No, a child under the age of 18 in the US does not have legal right to decide where they would like to live. CPS will make a recommendation and the court will issue an order of custody.If that was the case, there would be a lot of children who still would want to live with their parents who, I take it, have neglected them.A bit more:If you are asking if Child Protective Services has a legal right to say where the child should live (meaning which parent), then no, that would be up to a judge. The responsibilities of CPS is to remove a child from a harmful, neglectful, etc. home, but not to say with which parent they have to live with. Only a judge can rule on which parent is the best for the child.


What will happen to your mom if your therapist is calling child protective services because you are a minor and told him that she stopped taking her bipolar medicine and started smoking marijuana?

No one can tell you what will happen to your mom. Child Protective Services will decide whether or not to investigate and will do whatever they decide is best for you. There are just too many variables to even speculate on what they will do.
