What is your question?

 

[quincy]

There is no court order that prohibits you from removing your child from the grandmother's house? Was placement of your son with the grandmother a court decision?

I support your decision to refuse a drug test if there is no court order ordering you take one.

What is your question?

 

[ksull]

no. I placed him there myself prior to dfacs being contacted. no court order or anything has been signed

 

[quincy]

no. I placed him there myself prior to dfacs being contacted. no court order or anything has been signed

So your question is ... ?

 

[ksull]

can I be in trouble or anything if I were to go get my child even tho dfcs said I could visit but not take him anywhere?

 

[quincy]

can I be in trouble or anything if I were to go get my child even tho dfcs said I could visit but not take him anywhere?

I was afraid that was going to be your question.

I can't answer it.

Certainly DFCS can make your life miserable if it chooses to do so. I am not seeing under what law they could enforce their directive, however.

Are you on probation for anything?

Are you collecting state benefits?

 

[Zigner]

Why are you so against doing the drug screen? Is there a chance that drugs would show up in your system?

 

[quincy]

It is not a good idea to take a drug test unless it is required.

 

[Zigner]

It is not a good idea to take a drug test unless it is required.

I don't know that I agree with that as a blanket statement. I suspect that the OP is concerned about the results...

I think I would be concerned about the results whether taking drugs or not.

 

[Zigner]

I think I would be concerned about the results whether taking drugs or not.

I wouldn't be concerned about the results if I have to take a drug test.

 

[quincy]

I wouldn't be concerned about the results if I have to take a drug test.

If my children were at risk of being taken away based on results of a drug test, I would be concerned - and I do not take or use any drugs.
