RE: Beware Of Greeks Bearing Gifts: Family First Prevention Services Act of 2017
I'm sure it varies (the requirements) from state to state... but yes, in order for relatives to get temp custody of the children, they have to meet the same requirements as any other foster home. In fact they will probably have to be licensed, but I'm not sure. It would take the onus off the state should something happen to the kid.
Wow, so even if you make a list of other people you want your child to go to if something happens, more than likely they aren't going to be sent there because the people won't be deemed "qualified." That's nuts if that is the case. I've heard from a lot of people to make a list of where to send the kids if they are taken but I never really thought that CPS would actually send the kids there. Maybe this is confirmation of that.
CPS rarely if ever sends kids where you want them... there's no money for them in that. The whole system is rotten. They send kids to foster homes (most of whom aren't competent to take care of a canary). There the kids are abused, medicated (that means more $$$) and God knows what else. CPS has never been about children, except as sources of revenue.
