One of these evaluations done by accused choice. They will have their own child removed from their home, and are never able to have them returned.
These evaluations need to be done within a month apart and clarify why this person is not capable of taking care of a child. A criminal court and a jury by the individual’s peers will then review the case and make the final decision.
