What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I am not sure if I am in the right place so if not someone please tell me. On Thursday I received a phone call from a cps caseworker telling me to get to my sons school now. I got there and waited for an hour and a half until a detective came out and toke my basic info and asked me if I knew why they were there. I told him because I had spanked my son with a belt. He then asked me to make arrangements for my boys to stay some where else. So I did that. Then he asked me to follow him to the police station so I did that and then sat for another 2 hours. Finally the cps case worker came out and made me sign a safety plan for my boys to stay at my moms for at least 90 day. Then I talked to the detective and he asked me why I spanked my son I told him because he had stolen money and lied to me about it. He then showed me a pic of the belt mark I had left on him. He then proceeded to tell me I was not under arrest but he was going to the DA and will probably get a warrant in the morning. He said if that happened then he would call me so I could turn my self in and make bond arrangements. I have to turn myself in tomorrow morning for Injury to a child Felony 2 and a $25,000 bond. What I am afraid of is I will bail out and then in a week or so they will issue more. I finally heard from cps today and they have made arrangements for what they call a family team meeting on next Friday. What are the chances of them issuing more charges and warrants after I bail out tomorrow? Can someone give me a bit of in site as I am scared as hell....
