Crimes Of NYS.

The lie they tell.
New York's child protection system focuses on helping families, and removing a child from their home is a last resort. Child protective services (CPS) will only remove a child if less drastic measures are not possible.
Explanation
CPS will investigate reports of child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment
CPS will develop a plan to meet the needs of the child and family
CPS may remove a child from the home if there is an immediate threat to the child's life or health
CPS will try to prevent the family's break-up or reunite the family if the child has already left home
A court can terminate parental rights if a parent:
Permanently neglects the child for at least 12 months
Legally abandons the child for at least 6 months
Severely or repeatedly abuses the child
Has a mental illness that prevents the parent from caring for the child
