* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' AU fanfic ''Fanfic/MeetingALoud''. While Lincoln, here an orphan unrelated to the Louds, was well-treated by his Child Services agent, who is decently competent and admits his mistakes and even took him into his home and got Charles to act as a therapy dog for the traumatized boy, he was also put into a house with 10 boys based on the "One of the Boys" versions of the gender-flipped Loud sisters who are not only as rough as the Loud boys from the episode but outright abusive; Lincoln specifically mentions getting his shoulder dislocated for Loki's cell phone being broken (which was Loni's fault in the first place), which was traumatizing enough that having Bobby, who's Loki's age, [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead ruffle his hair]] is flinch-worthy, and the events of "No Such Luck" coming to pass only with the whole "he's bad luck so let's kick him out of the house" plot (which probably would have ''improved'' Lincoln's situation here) being replaced with Lyle, Lynn's counterpart, choosing to ''beat Lincoln to a pulp with a hockey stick while one of the other boys holds the kid down'' for his loss, which again was traumatizing enough that Lynn holding a hockey stick proves a trauma button. Lincoln ultimately runs away from that home when some of his foster brothers decide to abuse Charles.

* ''Fanfic/PapaBear'': {{Averted|Trope}}. When Tom reports what Marinette and Adrien have told him about Gabriel's abuse, he calls Child Services. They're as concerned as Tom, and immediately launch an investigation. Said investigation reveals Gabriel's abuse and removes Adrien from his father's custody. They also give the Dupain-Chengs the useful advice to carefully lock up the bakery at night to avoid retaliation from Gabriel.

* ''Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023'': Averted. After [[spoiler:Mike and Abby's family fell apart after the death of their mother]], Mike was given full custody of his little sister. However, one of the conflicts in the film is [[AdoptionConflict their aunt trying to get full custody of Abby]]. Luckily for Mike, despite his checkered past (having lost his last job due to a violent misunderstanding), Child Services still see him as the best guardian for Abby (even though their aunt has hired a lawyer and several goons in an attempt to better her odds). [[spoiler:She's [[AssholeVictim killed by Golden Freddy]] near the end of the film, though, so we never really see a court battle.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''[[Literature/TowerAndTheHive The Rowan]]'': No one, including child services, thinks giving custody of the Rowan over to Prime Siglen is a good idea, as Siglen was known to be horribly [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed]] and empathy-free. Just the type of person you want to leave the care and training of a pre-teen girl to, one with strong, untrained psychic powers, to boot. But they had no other viable option in this case, as Siglen was the only person on the planet qualified to train a Prime Talent properly, and she (the Rowan) was too young to be sent to another planet, where a more empathetic Prime could teach (due to Prime Travel Sickness[[note]]Severe Vertigo suffered by Prime-level Talents after an interplanetary-length teleport[[/note]]).
