Is this woman telling the truth?

Still waiting for an answer. thanks.

They do not have a phone book or internet access to get the phone number of the local child services to find out what is happening?

I can see a child being drop of in such a manner for a short period of time like overnight as in some areas child services do not have short term places to put children and they can end up camping out in the waiting area of the agency.

The child has been in this families care for a few days now. The friend told CPS they don't have a room for her and such but they told them to just take the child. Apparently the woman that had the child before them was a family friend of the mother and the mother does drugs and the father is in prison for the same thing.

I just didn't think that CPS could just put a child in some strangers care out of the blue, with no room for it or paper work/court hearing or something.

What should the family do if they can't handle the child that was put in their care out of the blue?

I've heard of this with relatives, but never with non-relatives.

Yea, this family that the child got dumped on isn't related to any of them or the child in anyway. It's just their neighbor, that's it.

Then they should call CPS and tell them that they can't care for this child. Start the process all over again. Perhaps they are looking for a relative or placement somewhere else.

The story really does not sound true. They MUST have a card from the CPS or the police who "dumped" her off.
