What causes family to be denied?

HimnMe- As far as past history I would highly doubt that would be a problem. You went to CPS for help they did not open an investigation into you. And as far as the criminal charge was it expunged? As long as that is the only criminal history and with it being a misdemeanor you should be ok anyway. Call CPS and speak with your granddaughters social worker. Don't wait the sooner the better.
