A quick definition of CPS:

Term: CPS

Definition: CPS stands for Child Protective Services. This is a government agency that helps protect children who may be in danger or at risk of harm. They work to investigate reports of abuse or neglect and provide support and resources to families in need. Their main goal is to ensure that children are safe and well-cared for.

A more thorough explanation:

CPS

CPS stands for Child Protective Services. It is a government agency that is responsible for protecting children from abuse, neglect, and other forms of harm.

Examples of situations where CPS may become involved include:

  • A child is being physically or sexually abused by a parent or caregiver
  • A child is not receiving proper medical care or is malnourished
  • A child is living in a home with drug or alcohol abuse

When CPS receives a report of suspected abuse or neglect, they will investigate the situation to determine if the child is in danger. If necessary, they may remove the child from the home and place them in foster care or with a relative.

These examples illustrate how CPS works to protect children who are at risk of harm. By intervening in these situations, CPS can help ensure that children are safe and receive the care they need.
