Child age 6 months old was recently placed with maternal grandmother and her grandchildren. Case worker observed the family having propane tanks in the living room; caseworker asked why the tanks were in the home. Caregivers reported that neighbors tend to steal their propane tanks and that they bring them into the home at night.
