So.... Some updates....

When the mom dropped him off on Monday I had her sign a medical release form. Basically just a quick little letter that stated my wife and I had permission to authorize medical treatment and such for him while he was in our care. But, I added a little caviot to it that stated we had legal authority over him as well. She signed it and it was noterized. We'll come Saturday while we were at my parents house in Burbank, her sister flips a shit and demands her son back now and all kinds of crazy shit. We were trying to calm her down and let her see it was best for him to stay with us for a while. Well she went full race and drove to Burbank PD headquarters and supposedly tried to report him as kidnapped and gave them my parents address.

Well LEO visit #1 was very cordial and professional (all were really). He told us what was going on, asked us our side of the story etc. We told him what was going on and showed him the noterized letter. And since I put in the little caviot of the legal authority and it was noterized, the LEO's said it was a "Mom can poud rocks situation". We expressed there was concern and suspension of physical and mental abuse but very little proof.

Apparently she didn't take this news well and raised absolute hell in the police station. Because of that we had LEO visit #2 but this time it was a Sergeant. He didn't really share anything new although he did state he wished she had a warrant out for her arrest because she was raising so much hell in the station and making so many threats he wanted to arrest her. LEO says he wouldn't be surprised when he went to tell her the same thing, go home, she was going to come by and flip out and if that happened call 911 and they'll arrest her for tresspassing.

Well the threatening phone calls and texts keep coming from her (my wife was not responding at all). She then says in one of them that she spoke to James (shit head daddy that's in Jail) about what is happening and he's sending someone to come get him (her son). Well since we don't know what kind of connections he has outside lock-up, we call the PD and inform them which led to LEO visit #3.

At this time we find out the PD and CPS have spoken and due to the mental history of my sister in-law (2 5150 holds over the past 3 years) and the suspected abuse, CPS has started a case and would like us to file paperwork for temporary guardianship ASAP.

We didn't get back to town til 11pm last night so that is what I will be doing this afternoon.


BTW, you could tell how deprived he has been by the way he was eating (devouring anything put in front of him) and the fact he had no clue what to do when their was a bunch of people around (family and friends over for Easter Brunch). It was pretty sad and reafiming at the same time.

I work for CPS and no one likes to see CPS involved but in this situation it will work in your favor. Ask about Relative Family Placement and if moms rights will be terminated if she or the assumed bio dad do not follow through with a case plan and exactly what rights dad has. His name not being on a birth cert doesn't mean squat if he requests a paternity test later, and CPS will have to do it if the child is a dependent of the court before any rights are terminated. You said "foster care", not adoption? This isn't going to be an easy road for any of the parties involved. You and your wife need to really make a decision on if you are in for the long term ride as it sounds like mom isn't going to give her child up easily and you will have to let it play out in the courts and let mom sink her own ship or get her shit together.
