What is the name of your state? Oregon
On October 3, 2002, our niece, Crystal Shrum, age 2yrs. 4 mos. came to
live with us. Previously, her mother(Sabrina) was taking a shower, a
roomate left the front door open and Crystal got out onto the street.
The police were called after a neighbor found Crystal. The police
ticketed Sabrina. Sabrina didn\'t show up in court. The police came out and
arrested Sabrina for not showing up in court. The judge told Sabrina she
could not have Crystal living with her until she finished parenting
classes. She lost her apartment somewhere along the way, and her and her
boyfriend were living in a camptrailer. The p.o. added that she must
also find a job and a suitable home before Crystal came back. I also had
been talking to the p.o., I told her that Sabrina was hooked on crystal
meth, she had suspected already that drugs were involved when Crystal
got outside, so she also told Sabrina that she needed 6 clean drug
tests. So, Crystal has now lived with us for 8 months. Until March 2003!
, Sabrina had visited Crystal once a week for 1-3 hours average each
visit. After that there were 2 different periods where she didn\'t call
or show up for 3-4 weeks. June 2, it had been a month since Sabrina had
seen Crystal, she came out to visit Crystal, after 20 minutes, her
boyfriend picked up Crystal and announced they were taking her, after the
took her we emailed her p.o., who got ahold of Sabrina\'s boyfriend and
said they were to return her to us or a warrant would be placed on
Sabrina. Her p.o. told us she thinks it is time for us to get temporary
custody.
I have two questions; 1) I\'ve been told by a friend, that if Crystal
lives with us a certain amount of time, that Sabrina\'s parental rights
are taken away. Is this true? If so, how long would she be living here
for that to happen? 2) Can we get temporary or full custody?
