Child Protective Services (CPS), also known as the Department of Social Services (DSS) in some states, is a government agency responsible for investigating reports of child abuse and neglect. The agency aims to ensure the safety and well-being of children by providing necessary family services to parents or guardians.
What is DSS custody?
If DSS finds that a child cannot be cared for safely by their parents, they file a dependency action in Juvenile Court to take legal custody of the child. This is also referred to as taking the child into foster care. When DSS is awarded custody, they try to find a relative to care for the child.
