CPS (Child Protective Services)

Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency that focuses on the safety and well-being of children. Its primary role is to investigate reports of child abuse and neglect, ensuring that children live in safe and nurturing environments. If a child is found to be at risk, CPS may provide support services to families or, in severe cases, remove the child from harmful situations. CPS works with social workers, law enforcement, and community organizations to protect children while also striving to keep families together when possible. Its goal is to promote healthy development for all children.
