You can report anything that you feel is an abuse or neglect concern, and child protective will decide if it needs to be investigated. However, there are some things that are going to happen, like a child getting lice, even repeatedly. In many states, if they feel you are just looking for reasons to report someone, they can charge you with harassing the parent or guardian. Give it some thought on rather or not you have a legitimate abuse or neglect issue before you take that step.

How can a father prove the mother unfit of the infant child?
That one is difficult..... It really depends on the state you live in. My best advise to you is to document everything : dates, times, places, of any type of neglect or abuse!!!!! Don't forget, if you suspect that the child is in danger, you can go to your local Department of Social Services, and file a case with Child Protective Services. Best of luck.... :)

Clean up, go to rehab, show them you are fit to be a parent, then file papers to get them back. You have to be completely clean though.
What would cause child protective services to come take you out of your house?
When child protective services come to your house its because they have been tipped that child neglect is happening in your home or a child is in danger. The only time CPS can remove a child is when a judge signs an order or warrant. However the CPS worker has to prove that there is critical evidence that the child is in danger of life or limb. If CPS took your child without a signed warrant from a judge you should consider to hire and attorney to file a lawsuit against the CPS department and the CPS worker.
