[QUOTE="Andy, post: 355981, member: 5096"] What a nightmare!!! You state you have been dealing with some of her behaviors. Does she see a psychologist? I would be tempted to call that office and ask to talk to him/her. Explain what has happened and that you have been told that she is blaming you for the bruises. Ask if they have any advise on how you should handle this. I said "tempted" because I do not know the entire ramifications of that. I would think CPS should have her history before making any decisions. Somewhere in their investigation the history of her lieing should come up and that will be taken into account to some extent though not get you off the hook unless you can prove what happened this time. Did she know you cancelled the meetings? Did she show up for them? I would hope CPS would gather info from school staff on how they saw her that day. Did anyone notice any brusing? I am sure they will talk to your son and if he protrays that he feels safe and in no danger in your home, they will not take him. This does sound like a very ugly situation. The best you can do is hold on to the truth. As long as the truth is being pushed forward, you can hope that the right ending comes about. Another thing to consider is I bet you anything that she is also afraid of what is happening. She is learning that lies will pave a trail of fears for herself quicker and more firmly than telling the truth. No matter what they think, a 14 year old still will look for her mom for help and when that option is closed, her fears will rise. Hopefully that will be enough to get her to let CPS know where those bruises did come from. Hold off calling her psychologist until others with more experience in this area than I do hop in with their input. [/QUOTE]
