Every CHINS child has one of these. In our state, it is called a CHINS hearing to see if the child is in need of services. DSS has to prove their case against the parents. If they do the child stays in foster care and the case plan for reunification starts. If they can't prove it then the child goes home. This has nothing to do with what the mom has done since the child was removed. It does have to do with DSS having a substantiated case.
