CPS wants to do a welfare check on our newborn, who was born on 2-13-22. We had issues with the hospital, including them making my girlfriend sign intake forms while she was in a state of mental distress, and they found prescription drugs in her urine without our consent. CPS investigated but didn't respond to our invitations to visit our home. Now, they are calling again for wellness checks. We don't trust them and want a lawyer present.
