Dhr Child Removal Rights

Hi Anita,
To provide accurate information, can you clarify if there are any existing court orders or if DHR has expressed concerns about the child's safety? This context will help determine their authority in your case.

Hi Anita,
Thank you for the details. Generally, the Department of Human Resources (DHR) can take action if they believe the child's safety is at risk.
- DHR could request a drug screening if they suspect substance abuse.
- Refusal may be seen as non-cooperation and can impact their decisions regarding child safety.
If there are existing court orders or safety concerns, DHR typically follows up to ensure the child's well-being.

Hi Anita,
It's concerning to hear about your situation. If DHR is threatening to remove your granddaughter from her home, they must have substantial evidence that the child's safety is at risk. It's crucial to understand your rights and the legal process.
- DHR must follow due process, including court involvement, to remove a child from their home.
- If you feel the actions are unjustified, consider seeking legal advice or contacting a family law attorney.
