He's just getting a head-start.
They placed the kid in CPS custody before when the mother was high as a *expletive deleted*ing kite. And then they gave the kid BACK to the "mother". WTF?
Oh, wait, it's CPS. I've seen them give the kid back to druggie parents on more than one occassion. Happened to a good friend of mine, even, who had temporary custody of his granddaughter because the mother and father were absolutely worthless POS tweakers. Naturally the court awarded full custody back to the parents.
