It sounds like a difficult situation. As others have pointed out, CPS isn’t going to do much unless there are obvious signs of neglect, abuse, or exploitation. I worked with CPS/APS in my last job and we often had trouble getting traction even when it was clear someone was in a desperate situation. If you luck out, sometimes you can find a skilled/knowledgeable investigator who is dedicated to the job, but in many cases they are young, untrained, and simply don’t have the time to devote to doing a good job. I know at my last job, we had one awesome APS investigation as the basis of one of our actions (not sure if we initiated it or not) and then ended up poaching that person to do our inspections.

In other situations, we often had workers at my agency saying that they were having to train the CPS/APS workers on what they needed to do/look for.

That's horrible
My children's grandparents, both sides, Live out of state. One side in California, my parents in Maryland, and we normally see my parents every few months; this stupid pandemic has stopped us from flying there as we would have been there in May, but normally every few months they see the girls. But my husband's family in California sees them maybe once a year. Heck, the grandfather still hasn't seen the house we moved in a few years ago. My husband's mom came to visit a few times though.
But my mom has been here many times and so has my dad.

It's obviously sad when grandparents can't be bothered. The kids are only young once.....
