Im with the rest of you that this lady is nuts and I feel really bad for all of those children, but honestly its going to take alot more than just a dirty house to get cps involved. especially if the grandparents are taking care of the other children more the mom.
We had a case in my area that the cps was called because the child involved was living in a nasty cat feces/urine filled house, she went to school dirty and smelling like cat urine and they had garbage everywhere..CPS was called to the house on 3 separate occasions, they found alot of animals, including chickens (in cages)in the kitchen, but the house was "clean enough", the kid was clean enough and she was not in ill health, no signs of abuse and she was fed at least 2 meals a day. The parents were given a warning all 3 times to keep the chickens out of the kitchen and to make sure that the cats stayed out of the little girls room and to keep her clothes clean. This fall, the little girl was found dead. . Apparently the step brother that was living there, killed her. However when the cops showed up.. they found the house in horrendous condition.. they had over 100 cats in the house, including dead kittens in the freezer, piles of cat poo everywhere, they found many poultry living in the house, and the little girl was literally living in a "caged room".
She should of been removed from the house the first visit from the CPS!! Who in thier right mind, thinks keeping chickens in the house is normal!!
So unfortunly in most cases having a dirty house isnt enough to take a child from the home. In this case, I think if the granparents truly move out like they state because of the mom's unstable and known mental issues those kids may be removed.
