Child Protective Services (CPS)

Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children. When there are concerns about a child being abused or neglected, CPS investigates these claims to determine if the child is at risk. The agency works to protect children and may provide support to families to improve living conditions. In severe cases, CPS may remove a child from an unsafe environment and arrange for temporary care. Their main goal is to promote a safe and nurturing environment for all children.
