What happens after a parent is Indicated by CPS for neglect due to insufficient shelter and food?

will the children be removed and will the parent be arrested or brought up on charges?What happens after a parent is Indicated by CPS for neglect due to insufficient shelter and food?
The children will be removed and placed with family if available or with foster parents. If the parent was purposely neglectful and the children where absolutely starving to death, then yes they can see jail time. It would be more than likely removal from the home and will be reunited once the parent gets their act together. Hopefully the children's' interest will be put first in this circumstance..





You can be poor, but there is no reason for filth. From what I read from your post they should have their kids taken away and charges of neglect brought against them. Bunch of slobs.What happens after a parent is Indicated by CPS for neglect due to insufficient shelter and food?
It honestly depends on what state you live in.





But most of the times, if it is a first offense and other than insufficient food and shelter, the kids are well taken care of, then they will, most likely, give the parent a certain amount of time to get the situation fixed and help the parent get on public aid if needed. They may even offer a room/beds in a shelter if the situation is that bad.





Most states don't have the room to take kids away from their parents, they just try to help the parents better the situation, before they resort to taking the kids away.
It's possible to be charged with a felony of child neglect, depending on what your case is. CPS will also try to work with you if the conditions aren't too severe...usually the child(ren) is placed with family until the home is cleaned. If you don't have a home, then I don't know what happens with that. You should be able to apply for Section 8 to get a home that you can afford. Food stamps can be applied for with Department of Family Servies. I'm not sure how it all works, but there is temporary help out there for you if you need it.
children will be placed with family if possible if not they go into foster care. The parent is given a case plan which is diffrent for each person on like this would be she needs to find a job and housing and have fruinture before she can have her kids back. They will provide job trianing and assistance the tricky thing is that you have 12 months to show that you are making progress and if your childern stay in care longer than year and a half they go for permant custody and take your rights away and the kids go up for adoption and if they can't be adopted they stay in foster care
the children will be removed from the home and give the parents 72 hours to get the shelter and food into the house. the children will be placed in a foster care. into the social workers take a walk through the house to see if there is food and shelter is clean. otherwise some parents have to go to court to fight for their children back. it's a sad thing but it takes place all the time.
CPS will not take custody of a child because their parents are poor. They may help the parents enroll in services to get them adequate food and shelter.





CPS will take a child if the parents have food and don't feed their kids, as in willful abuse.





Being poor does not automatically make someone a bad parent.
probably. I'm not a social worker, but I assume that if someone can't provide a home for their children then cps will remove the children and provide a home for them until the parent can find sufficient shelter.
I think there is a time frame where they have to get things straightened out. If they don't comply with the time frame they could be removed, being arrested or brought up on charges, I don't know.
