Question posted in the Family Law category relating to Gauteng
Good day, what is the legal route that needs to followed when children are removed from a mother's care and placed in a place of safety? My husband was informed by his ex mother in law that his children were removed from their mothers care due to neglect and abuse, and due to her having a drug addiction and that the kids werebplaced in a place of safety on Thursday yet no one from the place of safety has actually contacted my husband to inform him, we have tried calling but no one answered, surely with him having joint custody he should have been informed?
