[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 437108, member: 1514"] shari...given that I dont live in your state I dont want to say 100% not to worry but I would say most likely not to worry. My house is a shambles and always has been. I mean a shambles. I will never be June Cleaver. I have had CPS called on me 3 times. Nothing has ever happened to me. They dont want to take kids like ours into the system because they dont have the resources either. We are just as smart as the 20 something case workers. Trust me on that one...I worked with them. I have always heard about people having the social workers coming into the homes and checking the fridges and bedrooms. They never did that with me.
