I need information for a novel I'm writing and would appreciate any and all help. What is the proper legal procedure for removing a child from its home and parents? Do caseworkers arrive at the parents' door with a court order? How long do they remain in the house, and is there a certain procedure they must follow in physically removing the child? Do they wear badges? Are the parents asked to sign documents, and if so, what documents? Are the caseworkers accompanied by police? If one of the parents becomes aggressive, refusing to let the child be taken, is the caseworker trained to deal with possible violence? After a child is removed, where is the child immediately taken? Thanks for any and all information!
