Are There Any Mothers in Illinois Who Have Been Indicated for Substantial Risk of Harm Due to Substance Abuse?
Question by foxymixedmami: Are there any mothers in Illinois who have been indicated for substantial risk of harm due to substance abuse?
I have been indicated for substantial risk of harm because I had a positive drug screen. There are no other accusations against me, and I have no record. Dcfs has taken my children because of the drug screen alone. I feel that they have not conducted a thorough investigation and have caused more trouble for my family then ever. I am looking for others who feel they have been wrongly indicated for child abuse or neglect so that I can write a paper to the press and try to bring attention to this issue. I appreciate all of your feedback.
Child Abuse Laws in Illinois/mostly in Florida?
Question by Tiny: Child Abuse Laws in Illinois/mostly in Florida?
My boyfriends sister is a horrid mother. She’s 20years old and just had her second child 2 days ago. To make the story short.. she’s a druggie. She used drugs during her first pregnancy and the baby then had drugs in its system and now it has happened again with the baby she just had now.
I was wondering what can I do to either take these kids away from her (I will adopt them) or lock her up/put in a institute. I’ve heard in some states they can by law since she is endangering herself and is an unfit mother and has children like its nothing and still does drugs can make her have a procedure/surgery that she cant have babies anymore.
