Tired of having the police at my door

It seems like every other month or so we have either the police or child protectiv at our door and we don't know what to do about it. Here are some of the things that have happened. When dh and I got together and bm found out she of course immediatly told dh that the children were not allowed to be anywhere near me. when we moved in together the kids started to come here for visitation and the first time that happened she called the police. of course she can't do anything about it, it's his time. but every time after that she called the police again. Then she called them and said that I was making prank calls to their 14 year old daughters phone. the police called me and said I was not to call the daughter. I told them that I hadn't and if they wanted to check couldn't they just look at her call record and show that none of them were my number. Then she attached my job. She called in anonimously to report that I and dh were in the parkinglot on a certain day having sex in the car. When I and my husband both, at seperate times, were called in to human resorces to investigate we both told them that neither one of us were even working that night, that we lived together and there was no reason for us to be doing such things at work when we live together and have a perfectly nice house to do such things in. After that she started up with child protective. This is the woman who allowed her pre teen daughters boyfreind stay the night in her room while my husband was at work. this was when they were still together and one of the reasons they are not anymore. when dh called and reported this to cps they told him that he was reponsible, it was his house, he the parent he shouldn't be allowing this to happen. nice huh? Now here she is calling them on us to say that we are drinking and carrying on in front of the kids. Neither I nor dh drink on a regular basis. DH is on meds that prevent him from drinking and I rarely do because it trigers my migrains. The next time came after this past 4th of july. we took the kids to the parade and they each got a little something, there was only 1 balloon and a few of the kids(we had 6 with us at the time,4 mine 2 his) so I wrote down a number and I let them all pick. the one closest got the balloon. SS was angry that he didn't get it so he sulked the rest of the parade. when we ignored him he began kicking the other children. On the way home in the van he continuted to act out. He started throwing thigs at bs9, hitting him in the face, he's the one that got the balloon. I and dh kept telling him to stop but he kept going. Getting fed up I had dh pull the car over, got out opened back door and told ss10 to get out he was going to walk. he started crying and saying he wouldn't do it anymore. I told him fine he better not then I got back in the car. a few minutes later he started doing it again but we waited to get home to do anything. at home we sent him to the bedroom where he proceeded to scream and break things, banging and kicking the walls and throwing thing, finally fed up dh brought him out to the living room sat on the couch and held him with his arm crossed so he couldn't break anything. A few weeks later cps showed up at the door. They had a report that we were spanking the kids and that we had made ss10 walk home alone in the dark. sd7 tells us later that they had been coached by mother what to say. another time on our weekend the kids came over raring to make things crazy, finding things to get into trouble for, things that you know they didn't think up themselves. bm called them 3 times. then around 10pm the police show up at the door and said bm called and said we wouldn't let her talk to the kids and she thought we were hitting the kids. ss10 comes running out of the bedroom screaming my dad is beating me. the officer says were you being naughty, ss says no. sd7 says yes you were and dad didn't hit you he put you in time out.
This is getting rediculouse now and we don't know how we can prevent it. it looks bad for him whenever they go to court over custody that he has been investigated so many times by cps. I get so stressed out because I have 4 children of my own that I have to protect, I can't have investigations out there at cps or whatever they do with those little investigations that mean nothing considering they are biased in bm's favor. her mother is a foster parent so they are in close contact with cps, they have them on speed dial. you would think after so many acusations they would be wondering why that family knows so many child molesters, thats right, everyone of her ex boyfreind and husbands have been investigated for child molestation. one even went to prison, her first husband whom she married when she was 16 and he was in his 30s. hmmm.

i was told by a cps lady that you can ask fc judge to place an injunction on bm to make her stop calling in false reports on you and can even get her in trouble. also, you can get a list of credible people together (teachers, doc. crossing guard, anyone) and every time you get that letter stating a new investigation has opened, have those people call the caseworker. in my state, caseworkers have no responsibility to contact witnesses or collect evidence, but they must document every conversation in regard to the case. even if cps idiot doesn't return their call, keep that information and take it to their supervisor. i can't find any outline of rights as far as being unsatisfied with the ineptitude of a so-called investigator. i've written my states council of child & family services and the commissioner almost two weeks ago now. no one has gotten back to me. i'm going to the media.
ps - when she calls police next, insist on pressing charges for false allegations, harassment, and anything else you can think of. the cops in our area, nice as they are, would rather chew their own leg off than do paper work. we've been talked out of pressing charges every time, now we have no documentation of bm's insanity. we also found out the hard way that 911 calls aren't recorded in our area.
God speed!

Some may not agree with what I am about to say but at this point if she continues with these heinous false allegations you and DH may have no choice other then to relinquish visitation with those kids.

I understand that they are kids are being coached by their mother but if they do not care enough about their father to be truthful and are going along with these shenanigans they need to face the consequences as well which is no more visitation with Dad. He is married to you now and needs to consider your safety and the safety of your biological children as you are are also being victimized by what they are doing.
I would also document everything she does - every comment, every false report, every lie that she and the children tell and then I would consult an attorney about what you can do - definitely file harassment charges against this whack job!!

And of course, Welcome!

What does your DH say about all that is happening?

Have you talked to an attorney about these falese accusations? Are you documenting EVERYTHING?

How is it affecting YOUR four children?
They have to be absolutely traumatized to see the cops at your door all the time for no reason!

You need to file for a no harrassment order against her, immediately. Include every incident & false accusation in the paperwork. Then when she continues to do it she will be arrested.
Its really not a very hard thing to file either.

Just because you CAN give birth, doesn't mean you SHOULD

File false accusation charges with the court. Every time the police or CPS show up counter file for harassment. Don't let the police/CPS leave without documenting your charges, call the Police/CPS supervisor daily to make sure the report got filed and do not allow BM to continue to break the law without consequences.

Sue her for terrorist threats/behavior, emotional duress, psychological damage, and anything else that sounds feasible, hell, sue her for being just plain stupid.

HOLD HER ACCUNTABLE AND FORCE THE AUTHORITIES TO HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE!

Good luck and best regards,
