When a child is unsafe and in immediate danger of harm, DHS or law enforcement must work to develop a plan which will assure a child's safety. Many times a safety plan can be developed which will keep a child safe in his/her own home. When it is not possible a child may, according to statute, be taken into protective custody. If a safe relative is available, DHS or law enforcement may place the child with them. If not, a child will be placed in shelter care.

The reality is that there are two broad kinds of responsibilities you and your spouse or co-parent must manage with respect to your children: Thoughtful divorce professionals have understood this for many years and further viewed the "old-school" language and labels of "child custody" and "visitation" as destructive and easily subject to manipulation.
