Local Child Protective Services

Local Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children. When there are concerns about abuse or neglect, CPS investigates these reports to determine if a child is at risk. If necessary, they can provide services to families or, in severe cases, remove a child from a harmful situation. CPS aims to protect children while also working to strengthen families, offering resources and support to help parents and caregivers. Their ultimate goal is to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for every child.
