What actions need to be taken to prove that a mother is unfit? |
Answer
Help. We are starting a battle to deem my brothers ex unfit. CPS has been involved since day baby was born as he tested positive for cocaine and she had no prenatel care. they were released to my moms custody but 3 month later moved in with brother. this was 6 month ago. I recently discovered LOTS of drug in there home and contacted CPS again released girl and child to my mom custody. Now she ran off with some guy met on Interne 1 week ago and CPS "checked it out" and said 9 month old ok where he at, well im sorry I see how well she checks things out. CPS is worthless, said to me be different if child was 2 or 3 but we dont like taking 9 month old from mom. She has tested positive serveral times yet still ok to keep child, I have 3 kids of my own and as a mother cant fathom how CPS thinks this is ok. We dont really speak to my brother as we know he just much to blame. he disappeared now me and my sister are beginning to fight to keep this baby safe because obviously CPS isn't. Girl never worked day in her life and found out told new guy she a nurse, its a complete mess we have much much more factualy evidence against her but afraid cause CPS already involved what to do

aboutthemusic@aol.com i have to disagree with the header to this page. a child should be safe wether the signs are obvious or not. abuse is not always visualy apparent. what about neglect or improper behavior of the mother,(language,habits, etc) i am in a situation where,my EX-wife is a recovering heroin addict and seems to be off of it but, has replaced it with alchohol. she spends most of her time out and about running around getting drunk and humping anything with a pulse. she will come right and tell you that this is what she does. she really thinks its okay. just today she had to go to the hospital because she thinks she either got to drunk or someone slipped her something. so is this safe? HELL NO! could a misc. person tell anything from looking at the children? probably not. so to assume that just because there are no signs of abuse, then there must not be is ignorant. if people would realize that there are more ways to be a poor parent other than physical abuse. maybe my little daughter could be safe at home with me instead of being another victim of ignorance and statistic.
let me know what you think aboutthemusic@aol.com Jason

Me and my husband are fighting for my niece to have her placed with us. There are signs of neglect with the child and the mother is in an abusive relationship and leaves the girl with the abuser when she works. we have called Cps and nothing is being done. The whole family spoke up and still this little girl is in the care of the mother and abuser. What has to happen for us to get her and give her a happy home? We have 3 boys and they are well taken care of and loved with no end. Im afraid because it is so hard to prove a mother unfit that it will go to far and something bad will happen. What am I supossed to do.

I have a question as to this....my husband and I are separted at the time being however, a couple of his family members are threating me that if I don't give full custody of my three year to my husband that they will prove me unfit,futhermore, my husband and I also have a nine month old....the family members don't want the baby they just want the three year old (this confuses me). My husband and I have agreed that we would share the custody of both boys. I need to know on what grounds can I be proven as an unfit mother. I go to college full time and I have taken care of these boys alone even while living in the home with my husband, I have continued to do the same while we are separted. I do have a live in boyfriend, however, we don't engaged in any type of sexual behavior around my children not even kissing or hugging....the only time we have together is when they are with their father. Also, I am wanting to know on what grounds do grandparents have in the Tennessee area. Please contact me at: princesslaya83@gmail.coom if you have any suggestions or information that may help me to keep my children where I know that they are unharmed and well taken care of....This is urgent!
Answer
I would think you would need to prove it in court. Whatever area you think they are unfit, you will need physical proof, not just hearsay, for example: drug addiction, mental illness, sexual abuse, neglact or abandonment. I would talk to your local Social Services and ask them what steps need to be taken.

I would have to disagree with the header as well. First of all it is not easy to prove abuse, especially if it is not physical. A child usually loves their mother to no end even if they are being abused and will not go against her. They are usually too young to even understand that they are being abused. My stepdaughters mother is very loving, but when she gets mad she uses every 4 letter word possible. You can see the instant terror in their little faces. She has different men constantly over, many which stay the night. My stepdaughter is 12 and I don't think that is a safe environment. She uses drugs and allows her teenage boys to use drugs as well as long as they do it at home. She has 5 kids from 5 different fathers and uses abortion as birth control. She moves every 2 to 3 yeras and takes half of the school year just to get them registered for school. One year we requested a transcript from the school for my stepdaughter and were shocked to see she missed close to 100 days of school. What kind of hard evidence can you get from a situation like this to prove she is unfit? It's not physical abuse, but I definately do not believe she is a fit mother. The law needs to stop automatically giving the mother custody of the child just because she is the mother.
