So, daughters mother has an active CPS case involving drugs. I haven't done anything, but wonder at some point if CPS will ask me to drug test as well.
I have never heard of it, but are steroids ever generally tested for? Does CPS ever test for steroids? Do drug testing facilities test for steroids on any of their ordinary tests?
It seems like one time, years ago, I noticed "Test" as a substance that was tested for. And I know steroids 'can' be tested for, but it's expensive to do so.
Nearly have full custody of my daughter, I don't want to do anything to mess that up.

All the advice here is good. The state offers only a basic 12 panel test, testing metabolites of street drugs & some pharmaceuticals (adderall, benzos); no androgens. Good luck with that nonsense. I obviously fully believe in protecting children and giving them a safe environment to grow in, but as a rule, CPS are looking for fault, not there to support positive growth.
They are law enforcement, period. There are laws set for the protection of children, and judges orders are binding. It is NOT their job to look for or commend you for things that are right, it is 100% their job to find discrepancies in your duties as a parent and your adherence to any and all court orders. They are not your friend and anything you say, as cleverly worded as you may think it is, will be used against you in a courtroom. As far as steroids, if your ex knows of your usage of performance enhancing drugs there’s a very good chance you will be tested for them. You’re the only one looking out for your well being on this one bro, I do hope it goes well for you. For the record I didn’t mean to come across as harsh if it seemed that way, but I’d hate to see them put the fuckins’ on ya.
CPS is a joke. Don't get me started. And no they won't test for steroids.
Lifted-presence92Back in my using days I was using with a girl that had a child and cps showed up the baby’s daddy called on us and we were both tested on spot I didn’t have to take it but the mother did the case worker asked me and I did. It was a urine test so if you’re only juicing your good bro but if you’re using drugs I’d stop especially if you have a kid bro.
Hope it all works it out for the both of y’all government entities don’t care about our children or where they end up.
But like 87 said you essentially don’t have to cooperate with them but if you got nothing to hide and if it’s in your best interest to do so why not? it can only make you look better if everything is on the up and up on your side.
Yeah. Is better to go along with them, everything is in order. Other than being on cycle, life is 100%, hope they do come and look
I second the advice from @eighty7 but do be responsive, calm in the face of any indignity they casually throw, and cooperate in the spirit of letting them spin their wheels but don’t give up your liberties just to prove what should be a baseline assumption. They can’t test you without any court order or your agreement, letting them in to check on your shit will get them recording only every little detail they have a problem with and nothing positive, finally, no original panel testing will hit 7 drug metabolites and most of the time it’s not even gonna be that accurate at that. It’s when you start putting fake piss or messing with the tests that people get caught up. If anything is in your pocket you don’t tell them like a Visine bottle or something they red flag your sample and send it to be tested for every damn thing. If you fail a piss test by having cold piss or whatever, you might just be trying to control against something irrelevant to the case but they’ll treat that as reason for any damn thing besides assuming you’re dishonest in all statements. Just acknowledge that they got a emotionally overwhelming yet noble and important job that you respect, listen and ask for details on the process and “advice” they may have based on their “expertise” and then decline any questions beyond what they already know and decline to let them go peek around inside your body or property. For all they know you just work and go to church; there’s nothing more to you and you’ll be happy to help but don’t have time for measures taking facts from you or profiling you because you’re not in the wrong and you’re already doing a courtesy by even calling back or answering the door … that’s time you could be saving the dolphins and shit like that. Would you knock on their door and ask them to do your job instead of attending to their job, affairs, family, and community? No. If they drug test there’s no way it’s for steroids unless that’s been accused and relevant to their case. So no, don’t give piss to anyone and always clarify whether you have any obligation to continue to engage or answer questions. Hang in there and be well.
they will do a regular drug panel test, this does not include steroids. You are fine
CPS won't test you for steroids and don't let them in your house without a warrant. They're just as bad as a cop, NOTHING good can come from talking to them.
