Know this Term when Dealing with DHR or CPS in Child Custody!

We lawyers are bad on terminology, but DHR may be even worse. You hear terms like Safety Plan and ISP and we're gonna go over those if we haven't already. But today, let's look at "protective capacity" and what that means in the context of dealing with DHR or in any #ChildCustody case.
~
Whether it's typical, day to day parenting, or maybe some responsible or irresponsible marijuana use, or, in more dire circumstances, whether someone is the victim of domestic violence or other abuse. That can reflect on your "protective capacity" from the Court's, and especially DHR's, perspective.

Oh I finally got my children out of the DV situation to which he plead guilty and is on child abuse registry but then DCFS comes along and is forcing more access for
Him with the kids. The ones he abused. That have begged me to leave him and were finally safe…..literally the most messed up thing I have ever dealt with. They aren’t doing a single thing to help protect us, left me hanging at protection order court after saying don’t worry I’ll be there and testify, but no one was. Instead I got ridiculed and victim shamed and accused of lying and ultimately it was dismissed. He has harassed me ever since; calls, texts, driving by, coming multiple times bagging on door yelling my name.
Yet they want to worry about if I am going to a DV support group!?! I can’t even. I will do everything I can to blast them when this is over
For all the corruption. They lie so much it’s unreal.

The first thing phase you need you to learn is "I do not answer questions call my lawyer"

my family has been fighting for 7 years to get my nephew back. DHS have been making up lies about how my mom is crazy to keep my nephew in the system. What can we do?

Why would cps closes their case, but leave court case open? It's a non custodial temporary custody case.

Foxtrot saved my 5yr old from the worst kind of DHR abuse. They took him the day his 10 week old sister died and despite there being 10 family members and homes and a certified foster family who were part of our family, they put him in a strangers house that night. Foxtrot had the papers filed so fast it cut dhr off in their tracks and at least he went to family until he was returned 4months later...when the autopsy proved the RNP killed her. Autopsy came out on a Monday and Tuesday he was home. Also our guardian ad leitum admitted his secretary was sabotaging his cases. Mixing up drug screens and a bunch of other things.

I would like to ask you this is it common practice to collect a hair sample for testing in a courtroom waiting area and use the same scissors on multiple people? And could it be cause for a false positive drug screen?
