I've survived a suicide attempt and been charged & had my child taken away by CPS (in family care, but if I didn't have family that could watch her, she would be in foster care). Never been neglectful or abusive, always used and studied respectful parenting. We have an amazing home. But I went through postpartum depression alone & in quarantine for nearly 2 years, I should have went to a hospital but I didn't have childcare. I dropped my daughter off with my parents for a night and snapped. And psychiatric hospitals are like being jailed for being depressed, so I didn't want to admit myself. The "evidence" for removal was my ambulance record, they never did a home visit, met me, or met with my daughter. Meanwhile I had step brothers that were physically abused for years growing up and my parents could never get CPS to take it seriously, even with bruises. So you can't be charged if you're dead, but you are punished for it if you survive.
