[blparent] need urgent help

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

No they don't have the right to do that, they have to have a good reason. 
the hospital can keep you in longer if the nurses and doctors feel there's a 
problem, but cps can only get involved after you leave the hospital.  In 
fact I don't know if it's the same here as there, but here the social 
workers aren't even allowed in the hospital except for the one who works 
there.  Without knowing at least some details I can't really offer you much 
help.  Feel free to email me privately if you'd like, I've had alot of 
experience with social workers, both good and bad.  email is
