Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Pennsylvania Already Tried: a multitude of case law.pennsylvania CYS code statute,on return of child if abuse is not founded nor substantiated,etc. lawsuit,supporting this case.
The family can sue CYS. They can sue for Negligence. CYS had a duty to investigate and return the children to the biological parents if they found nothing. They can bring claims on behalf of the children, for false imprisonment. All family members can sue for negligent infliction of Emotional Distress if they needed mental health counseling or became sick. The children can also sue for negligence if they were put in a home where they were physically injured. The standard is the best interest of the child. The goal is to try and keep biological families together if possible. Foster parents cannot take children out of the country without an order from the judge. Good luck and remember to press accept so that I may get credit.
