An Open C.P.S. Case
There is an on-going ‘debate’ and misinformation in regard to an open Child Welfare Service (C.P. S.) case on Shanann
What happens when a child is murdered in a welfare case:
Legal requirements: Many jurisdictions have laws that mandate child welfare agencies to open a case when a child fatality occurs, regardless of whether abuse or neglect is definitively established.
Thorough investigation:
Child welfare workers will conduct a detailed investigation into the family dynamics, including interviews with family members, neighbors, and other relevant parties.
Safety planning for remaining children:
If there are other children at home, the agency will create a safety plan to protect them, which may include temporary placement with relatives or foster care.
Case review and potential interventions:
Depending on the findings, the agency may provide services to the remaining family members to address any underlying issues that could contribute to child abuse or neglect.
