[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 2656465, member: 4278"] The article on [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2385159/Foster-mother-beats-toddler-seized-biological-parents-social-services-discovered-smoking-pot.html"]The Daily Mail[/URL] says that due to the mom and dad's dispute the two "handed Alexandria to Hill's mother to care for" and that CPS came into the picture "When the state intervened at Alexandria's parents request." Texas has their CPS guidelines published, and drug use alone is not sufficient cause for removal. They also consider other factors. Frequent marijuana use is listed as only one of the [B]several [/B] reasons that CPS felt that neither parent was fit to be a sole caregiver. The affidavit referenced mentions several reasons. MyFoxAustin interviewed Hill, and their copy says "Hill says they eventually agreed to have Alex go to a foster home last November while they got their lives in order." If the Dad was perfectly capable of taking care of the kid on his own, why are there indications that the couple pawned her off on his mom and then [B]consented[/B] to place her in CPS custody?
