If child protective services aka cps demand a drug test and its not court ordered do I have to and if I say no would they take my kids They're doing this on someone's accusation?
If the drug test is not court ordered, you do not have to submit to it. However, CPS may take your child until a court order is in place.
Can a police officer take your child?
In Washington - Yes, but only under certain conditions. For instance, police can take your child as result of a "probable cause" arrest, a court order, or via protective custody - typically relating to an immediate danger or threat to the child's safety. Generally, children (under 18) are removed from their parent's care by Child Protective Services (CPS) after obtaining a court order. Police may assist CPS in that process but removal is conducted by CPS under authority of the court order.

How can i get custody of my granchild if parent isn't active?
If the child is in any kind of danger you have to call the CPS. You can then tell them you can take the child until the court have decided. It can lead to them not terminating their parental rights though. it depends on what the CPS think about the situation and what you mean by parents not being "active". If the court find them unfit you can petition for custody.
How can the father of oldest child get his oldest child back after CPS took custody of all the children at hospital because mother and newborn baby tested positive for opiates the day child was born?
When CPS or other child welfare authorities take custody of a child, they must file a suit, usually in juvenile court. This is often referred to as a deprivation proceeding. The father would have to file notice in the suit and seek custody from that court.

Is it legal to take your own child away from the house to be properly cared for if the mother doesn't do it?
Only if you are the father or legal guardian can you take the child away legally without a court order. If it is deemed that the child lives in a abusive or neglected lifestyle then CPS (child protection services) will take the appropriate action against the mother.
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.

It is ok to accept any kind of medical release from CPS (child protection services) on a child. CPS will only give you medical releases that are legal. CPS is there to protect the children.
How long can a cps case remain open?
I am presuming that CPS stands for Child Protective Services. A CPS case is not a court case, especially if a court case is separate. Therefore that case can remain open if a case worker feels that it should be. Let's say for example, you are charged with child abuse, a case presented to the court by Child Protective Services. For starters, it is not Child Protective Services that actually brings a case to court: it's the state attorney's office. If the court later decides to dismiss your case, then Child Protective Services can still monitor your case for later, and even remove the child from your home if necessary. I am assuming that the 'court case' is a criminl proceeding. If so, then yes, yes, yes ~ you're CPS case could easily remain open far past disposition of any criminal charges ~ whether the criminal charges are dropped or not. Because CPS is not bound by anywhere near the standard of proof (or the presumption of innocence) that criminal courts require, the outcomes of each can be entrely different. Also, 'services provided' by CPS are not considered punishment, so the duration of your case is not seen as a sentence, but a service.
