In the legal system of the USA, the CPS case is part and parcel. The child protective services agency conducts the investigation of the CPS case. Everybody who has a child should always be concerned about facing CPS.
What does it mean when CPS closes a case?
When cps finds information about neglecting a child or abusing them, within 72 hours, they respond to the call; however, if they need more time, then they extend the time. After completing the investigation, if they find that the offense has occurred and there are grounds to bring the charge, they make the case substantiated. On the contrary, if they find nothing to establish the case, they will make the case unsubstantiated. After making the case unsubstantiated, they close the case. When they close the case, they inform the alleged person that the case is closed.
However, if the case is substantiated and the court gets engaged with the case, then it is up to the courts and not the CPS to close the case.
