I use to work as a Sec. in the DA's office in CPS. If someone calls in to CPS and reports you, CPS sends a Social Worker to check things out. If the Social Worker determines that the children are unsafe or living in unsafe conditions they will present an Affidavit to the DA who then files for immediate removal of the children at your County Courthouse.
If it is an emergency type situation and you do not willingly let the SW take your children, then the Sheriff is called and the children are removed on the spot and the Affidavit is filed within 24 hours.
You should have been served a copy of the Social Worker's Affidavit for removal and this would have been presented to you and signed by you in the presence of a Notary.
This Affidavit will be specific as to why your children were removed. At your first hearing (within 14 days), a plan will be submitted to the Judge stipulating what CPS has determined needs to be corrected before they will return the children.
Did the SW tell you why they were removing your children?
