Child Protection

State intervention has potentially profound effects on both parents and child. If the CAS has removed your child from your care, the CAS must take the case to court within 5 days. We understand that cases involving children require special measures and sensitivity to prevent additional stress and trauma to both the children and their parents. The documents you have received will explain why the CAS has done this. You will have a chance to tell the court your side of the story but you must follow certain rules and steps to do this.
