Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My grand daughter has been placed in the custody of the state since the last week of March 2014 for child abuse and neglect. CPS is only focusing on my son and his wife because they are young parents but there were three other people living in the house. My son has been told that the other three people are not being investigated. My question is why? They have no proof that my son or his wife did this. CPS only speaks with the mother's parents and not the child's parents. My son and his wife learn what is going on from her (the wife's) father. They call CPS and leave message for the case worker to call them and she doesn't return their calls, instead communicates with her (the wife's) father. thank you

Your son needs an attorney.

He needs to document everything that he is doing. He should keep a dairy of each phone call to CPS with the date, time and message left. What you state occurs often with CPS cases - the CPS case worker is overwhelmed with cases & does not return calls. He should also call the CPS supervisor and leave messages.

Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for an attorney. There are not many that handle CPS cases.
