So, this is what is happening and I don't understand. I am caring for a child whom did not come from a good home the child is young and was placed in my home. Now the thing i do not get is why do lawyers fight for the mothers or fathers to have rights to there child and to get custody back when the lawyers know themselves the the care will cause high risk to the child's well being?? Is it a money thing?? Do defense lawyers not realize that a child's safety is in there hands?? Or am I wrong will they just get no chance to get there child back???? as I have spoken to the family members i was told they paid there Lawyer $1500 to help fight to get the child back!! The Mother and father are drug addicts etc I just don't get why a lawyer would put a child back in that situation, Do i have any rights as a family member to protect this child?? any information would help great thanks for your feedback.
