[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 402331, member: 1514"] Is this a report that either child is not in school or is the report that either child is unattended? I think that makes a difference. Whichever way it goes, CPS is gonna do what they want and you just have to be as open and honest with them as you can be or they will make your life a living hell. One thing you dont want with all you have going on is abuse or neglect substantiated against you and they can do that without taking you to court or letting you fight your side of the case. I know, they have done it to me. If you dont have any criminal charges filed, you cant present your side so the black mark is just on your record forever and you can do nothing about it. It is entirely possible that some part of the school district that has nothing to do with her home school noticed her excessive absences and it triggered the parental truancy report to CPS. I had CPS all over my butt the summer Cory turned 11 because he was headed to wilderness camp. We had no daycare here that would take him. Tony and I both worked full-time. We live out in the middle of nowhere. So my only option was to leave Cory home alone for a couple of hours...maybe 2 because he had his tech then. Jamie would watch him for me and we had a neighbor that Jamie could access if any other help was needed and I worked literally 3 miles away. We were actually sitting at the house waiting for the spot to open for him to go to the wilderness camp. It could have come at any day that summer. It finally came I think August 25th or so. Cory had this tech who was awful. In the beginning I was bringing Cory to my work so she could pick him up there because you simply cannot find my house unless you know where it is and she wouldnt until she had taken Cory home a few times. Well...I worked for the county and really...you cant bring your kids to work...you just cant. So I would bring him with me and have him sit right outside of my co-workers window.
