COVID-19 Put Her Husband in the ICU. She Had to Be Hospitalized Next. The State Demanded to Know:

15. Yes, in my opinion

Our state has asked for foster care families to step up to deal with Covid.

The worker was in the wrong. All she had to do was say, don't worry. We're just going to shelter your kids temporarily - UNTIL you are better. This isn't a usual CPS case. We aren't involved because you are negligent.

The worker and the workers supervisor are in the wrong. I know the system. And I know systems don't like to be flexible. But this is a pandemic.

They can flex if they want to (there are even shelter beds for kids - for a few days). IF they had a foster bed for the boys for a few days - they should have just said, we're not opening a formal case. You aren't in trouble. It's just a place to stay for a night or two. We'll help sort them out with testing and figure out if and when your mom can take them

CPS sucked here. No doubt about it.
