What else can I help you with?
What happens when a person who's children have been removed from their custody and placed into kinship guardianship has another child that was not involved in the initial DYFS investigation?
If a danger still exist, than that child can also be removed, upon birth.
What is dyphus?
Perhaps you are referring to DYFS? DYFS, or the Division of Youth and Family Services, is, according to their website (http://www.state.nj.us/dcf/divisions/dyfs/), "New Jersey's child protection and child welfare agency within the Department of Children and Families. Its mission is to ensure the safety, permanency and well-being of children and to support families.DYFS is responsible for investigating allegations of child abuse and neglect and, if necessary, arranging for the child's protection and the family's treatment."
DYFS has a lot of fl?
DYFS has a lot of flexibility in these decisions, and once a child has been removed, it can be very difficult to reverse such removal. The only way to reverse the removal of a child will be to file a petition to the appropriate court and successfully convince the court that whatever problematic circumstances which constituted the basis for the removal of the child - have ceased and that they will not resurface. DYFS CAN demand that parental rights be transferred, but such demand will not be made of you, rather, the demand will be made of the court. If DYFS in fact makes such a demand, it means that there is enough evidence pointing in the direction of child removal for the good of the child, and it is hard for parents to convince a court otherwise (though, it's possible). Please understand that these cases involving the Division of Youth and Family Services and its removal of children due to extreme circumstances, are very fact-intensive. meaning, there needs to be a lot of social work & legal work fact gathering on both sides (DYFS; the parents) in order for such a case to appear before the court. Based on the facts in your question, it is virtually impossible to tell what a judge would ultimately rule. There are attorneys in this field who could spend a long time studying all the circumstances surrounding the removal of the child, the home "climate", the family background, etc., etc., before opining on the chances of success of a petition against DYFS' decision.

Is DYFS a national service?
No, DYFS (Division of Youth and Family Services) is a state service. Not all states use this name. Many states use another name for the state agency that is asked to deal with child abuse and neglect, and possibly other issues regarding children. CPS (Child Protective Services) is one name that a number of states use. In New Jersey, the state has recently (early 2012) changed the name of DYFS to DCPP (Division of Child Protection and Permanency). Both the old agency and the new agency were / are part of New Jersey Department of Children and Families.

Do you need a degree in social work to work for Dyfs?
It depends what state you are in. When I lived in California, they required a Master's in Socisl Work to work for Child Protective Services, but in both Oklahoma and Texas I worked for them with just a Bachelor's degree in Sociology (and it could have been any major really). I would check with the department where you live to find their specific requirements.
