10 Myths about child welfare and parental rights . . .

1) Myth: You will never be falsely accused of abusing your child, so probably don’t need your rights protected.

2) Myth: Parents accused of abuse and/or neglect are automatically assigned legal counsel so they don’t really need help.

3) Myth: Parents involved with CPS “must have done something wrong” or CPS would not get involved.

4) Myth: It’s not about money – did you know that the state of Texas can draw down money from the federal government every time a poor child is removed by CPS?

5) Myth: Adoption is not about money – did you know that the state of Texas can make money through federal adoption incentives when a child gets adopted instead of going home to their biological parents?

6) Myth: Most kids eventually go home – did you know that only about 30% of children removed by CPS go home to their biological parents in the state of Texas each year.

7) Myth: CPS helps parents complete their service plans and only terminates parental rights when absolutely necessary and with plenty of evidence.

8) Myth: Children are safer in foster care – did you know that children are MORE likely to be abused in foster care than at home?

9) Myth: Only severely abused kids are taken by CPS – did you know that the majority of children are removed for NEGLECT, which is often related to poverty, not abuse?

10) Myth: Parents can find lots of help and resources when their children are removed by CPS – did you know there are actually very few resources for parents once their children are removed and the federal 12-month clock starts ticking?
