[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 402505, member: 6705"] Jena, I've been round the block with CPS, too. BM used to call them routinely with wild stories. They got called on her twice, NOT BY US (more in a moment on this). One time she alleged we forced a suicidal Onyxx to keep three loaded guns in her room. One, we had a rifle and a BB gun - no ammo for either at the time - the rifle had a trigger lock and was locked in our bedroom closet - the BB gun was actually in father in law's trailer. 15 miles away. The caseworker got REALLY NASTY with husband and told him he should just give BM custody because obviously he didn't have a clue how to care for children. I walked in from work (blindsided except for the sight of the cop car in my driveway) just in time to hear this. I said hello to husband and asked him what was for dinner - to which he replied (and I will never forget this) - broiled perch, wild rice and brussels sprouts. Mr. Caseworker muttered under his breath something about the last bit... And Jett came running out to ask if he could help with them. Report came out the next week: No finding. Now - the other ones. Jett's school called once because he told a teacher Mommy punched him in the head. When the caseworker came by, they started interrogating [I]me[/I]! I was confused at first - but Jett interrupted and told them, "WRONG MOMMY!" So they spoke with BM - and she denied it (despite the purple goose egg on his head) - so no finding. Another time, the psychiatric hospital called them regarding Onyxx being molested by BM's creep. And the finding? "Indicated". Nothing else - because BM cried wolf so many times she destroyed Onyxx's credibility. So after all this long rambling, my point - cooperate fully - there are a lot of people who [I]do[/I] neglect and/or abuse their children - but you aren't one of them. And easy child? Hahaha - my parents would go out of town when I was 16, for 2-3 days, I would be on my own. I know, different era, but easy child is old enough. Ugh!!! [/QUOTE]
