Preliminary Protective Order
Child Protective Services received a call regarding the poor housing condition of Ms. **** and her three children. On the first visit, Ms. **** refused the workers entry in her home; workers could see a hall way and part of the living room from the front door. Ms. **** agreed for her children to stay elsewhere until her house was cleaned and inspected by CPS. Several days later, the entire home was viewed and Ms. **** confirmed that condition the worker saw it in was the same as the afternoon of the visit. The entire living room was filled with debris to height of being shoulder high. The debris consisted of pizza boxes and other food wrappers and containers, food (hamburger bun and chocolate cookies), soda cans, and toys. In subsequent visits, her home was found to be in marginally satisfactory condition; however, it was necessary to remind her to clean her home as the conditions were nearing an unacceptable range. Throughout the dealings with Ms. ****, she has offered a myriad of reasons as to why her home was in the condition and in none does she accept responsibility herself.

keghan's teeth are in poor condition and during a previous investigation, the worker had Ms. **** make a dental appointment. The child went to the dentist and restoration work was begun; follow up appointments were made but Ms. **** failed to show up. Keghan's teeth are still in need of treatment and because of the missed appointments the previous dentist will not see him. She was advised to find another provider to finish the work and she had not done this.
