That sucks...I'm sorry you have to go through it. CPS have to check out all reports, they don't know she is lying. It sounds like you provide a loving home to both BD and SS. These people are trained professionals, it wont take long for them to know the truth. It will all turn out okay. But its sad someone has to go to such low levels..says alot about her...

CPS has a legal obligation to investigate all complaints that come into their office. Don't worry about it. They will interview a few people, and yes it might be a little embarrassing, but BM is the one who in the end will be embarrassed once it's proven to be a false claim. And if she does this again, they will have it on record that she already made a false claim in the past. After a few of those, they probably won't pay much attention to her complaints anyway. She's just making herself out to look vindictive. Just remain calm and everything will work out.

Deep breath sweetie.... this happened to us too, and I was scared to death they would find some reason to take my boys. They didn't, in fact, they asked why they weren't investigating her! It'll be ok.... call them and ask what the charges are and go from there.

First off, let me tell you that it's going to be ok. CPS will come out to your house, see that your skids is not being abused in any way, and leave. Unless you are neglecting or abusing SS, you have nothing to be concerned about. Make sure you have all your documentation available. They see these things all the time (ex's use CPS frequently, there are a few SM's on here who've had this happen on more than one occasion!)....and for them to take your BD, they have to prove to the court that you are abusive. You can't prove what's not there!!

I can see why you'd be upset. Is there any way she can get into trouble with the state for filing false CPS reports?

I am so, so sorry you have to go through this.

Wow, CPS huh...yeah that happened to us in a different way though. I'm a student getting my degree in elementary education and my BIL's ex called CPS on the whole family. I was freaking out. But you have nothing to worry about. They'll just come and investigate and leave, there's nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry you are going through this. It is such a pitty when someone uses such an underfunded resource to get even with each other. It ties the CPS workers up with nonsense while some poor child is really suffering at the hands of an abuser and maybe that visit may have saved a child's life. This is beyond sad.

I am sorry that she is causing you so much trouble. It's a cheap shot that is a complete waste of tax-payer money and your time.

I am a paralegal for an attorney who handles many divorce/custody cases and I see it all the time. Just like some of the other posters said, they do have to follow through on all claims. Honestly, the more false claims the BM files, the worse she is going to look in front of the court. It's unfair, but the moms usually do get away with a lot more than fathers do. The courts like to keep BM's in their kids' lives (for better or worse...). But, the investigators aren't naive usually.

Just keep doing what you are doing. Follow the court's order as closely as you can and you are golden. She can only cry wolf so many times.

If your home is livable and you aren't beating children, there is absolutely no reason why they would take your own children away from you. Just be honest with the investigator- tell them your side of the story and they will put it in their report.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I had CPS called on me when I was living alone with my children. It was a learning experience. They saw that my children were well taken care of but they wanted to make sure I knew of all the options available to me as a single mom! I was stunned at the amount of help you can get as a single parent!

Anyway, it still sucks!!! I was appalled at being fingered out as a bad parent, which, let's face it, is what the message is!

We try so hard to be great parents, then to have this kind of thing happen!

Such a waste.... I hope it all goes well for you. Remember though, they are there to help, not hinder. In my experience, they are very nice and they put the kids first. They are not there to judge, they are usually understanding of the situation and get all the information before just taking kids away or anything like that.

Like I said, MY experience.

Good luck... and as far as you hitting "enter" it might be for the greater good!

2 yrs ago, sd11 told her school i beat her and leave bruises. cps was at my door and the case was closed that day cause sd11's story kept changing and she had no marks, but i was so scared cause bd was 1 at the time too and i feared they'd take her cause of stupid sd11. turns out sd11 did this cause she thought they'd take me away, leave bd with bf, and send her to bm's. when her bm explained how sd would be placed in foster care again and bm would ahve to fight for her, bm told her that she wouldnt fight for her. so sd11 said she'd try soemthing else to get to bm's, like maybe tell them something about her daddy. its scary dealing with cps. half the time they dont care to hear your side of the story.

A little story--

When my SD was about 5 yrs. she slapped a child on the butt (another 5 y old) on the walk back into school after recess. The school called the cops, yes they did that....

A cop showed up at BMs work, she called H right away. Turns out the were sending a social worker (cps) out to visit each house.
The lady literally walked in and asked 2 questions, I asked if she wanted to see SDs room--her response "no need, everything is great."

Never heard from her again.

Don't worry, the BM is going to look likea moron, once again.
