What happens if your child is taken from your home. When children are taken into state custody, the best place for them to go is to a relative. Maybe grandparents, aunts and uncles, or even a distant cousin’s house. The point is to keep them with family while the parent gets on track to get the child back. Children can also go into foster homes. A form of custody required to remove a child from his or her home and place in out-of-home care. Law enforcement may place a child in protective custody based on an independent determination that the child’s health, safety, and welfare is jeopardized.
