If the child is placed in the custody of DSS then the child will be placed in a licensed foster care home. If DSS substantiates neglect against you they will request that your name be placed on a Responsible Individuals List (RIL), which is state registry of people who DSS believes neglected or abused children.
At the probable cause hearing, DSS will call witnesses and attempt to prove their case while you will not be allowed to testify. You will have an opportunity cross-examine the DSS witnesses and you will be able to submit affidavits to the court supporting your situation.
