Problems With Child Protective Services

I disagree with this article from the Austin American statesman about a boy from Cedar Park who was found in a building that didn't have a bathroom, food or electricity. His mother has substance abuse problems and has a history with the Child protective services. The article talks about the child protective services believing that the best place for the boy isn't with his extended family. Child protective services say they want what is best for the boy. I think if the extended family wants the child and they are capable both financially secure and live in a stable environment they should be allowed to adopt the child. Placing the boy with his extended family that wants to give him a stable environment and make him see a counselor would be a great place for the boy if he wants to go. Moving him from home to home in the foster care system can cause him many problems in the further. Plus the family has to go through a lot of interviews and house visits before being adopted by anyone including family members. The article says that his grandparents want him to live with his aunt and uncle. The Child protective services should look into this case harder and see what is best for the boy instead of taking the easy way out, by placing him in the foster care system that could cause him more problems than help. How do they know that the aunt and uncle aren’t the best for him when they haven’t even look into the family closely.
