The following is a brief excerpt from the deposition taken by my attorney with the CPS worker. My attorney is obviously doing the questioning and the CPS "investigator" is the one providing the answers. The documents speak for themselves.
How does CPS even know what my son could say and couldn't say when they took him? They have no idea. Further, it seems interesting to me that for 3 1/2 years NOBODY cared about my son, then all of a sudden when he has come so far, then CPS wants to come in and say my children are being medically neglected without ever consulting a doctor. Does anyone else see a problem with this? § 261.001. Definitions (1) "Abuse" includes the following acts or omissions by a person: (A) mental or emotional injury to a child that results in an observable and material impairment in the child's growth, development, or psychological functioning; (B) causing or permitting the child to be in a situation in which the child sustains a mental or emotional injury that results in an observable and material impairment in the child's growth, development, or psychological functioning; (C) physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child, or the genuine threat of substantial harm from physical injury to the child, including an injury that is at variance with the history or explanation given and excluding an accident or reasonable discipline by a parent, guardian, or managing or possessory conservator that does not expose the child to a substantial risk of harm; (D) failure to make a reasonable effort to prevent an action by another person that results in physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child; Does sleeping in a car seat and wearing a weighted vest meet this criteria? |
