[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 564391, member: 1233"] Part of the insurance laws are that you have 30 days to decide whether or not to take COBRA health insurance. For the kids? Most people who are in the army with young children are not very high ranking and they qualify for the state children's insurance. It is sometimes called medicaid even though each state has it's own name for it - in my state it is Soonercare. You NEED to first stop worrying. The more you cooperate the more reasonable the CPS people will be. We were investigated when we learned that my oldest was attempting to murder my middle child during the night on a recurring basis. We took my daughter to the doctor to get referrals to psychiatrists (we abbreviate that as psychiatrist here on the board, and therapists/psychologists as tdocs - helps with spelling :yesssmileyf:) and therapists and any needed medical care from him trying to strangle her. The pediatrician gave us the choice of calling in ourselves to report, and knowing she would call in a report, or of making that report together. We made the report together, and we got a total idiot of a caseworker. Ours was so bad that our elem school principal made a major complaint and stopped the interview of my daughter because the things the cw said were abusive to my daughter. I would allow them to talk to the children with either the school principal or your attorney present. they are going to talk to the kids, but there should be someone there as a witness because you need to know what happens and your child needs protection too. Google "parents rights during CPS investigation" and similar phrases until you find more on your legal rights. CPS will try to violate some of them and it is always wise to have an attorney and to know your rights. You can contact legal aid for help, and I recommend this. I know it is hard, but you will get through this. Try to look at it as finding new sources for help. Be sure to tell CPS that you want help with insurance, and if you are eligible for help then of course you want it. The more cooperative you are, the better the report will be, but don't ignore your rights. I found it helpful when the cw would ask for things to say that legally I didn't have to answer/give permisison/etc... but I was going to give the answer or permission as long as a neutral 3rd party or my atty was there during whatever it was. This let the cw feel she had some power over me, and it also protected my rights and let her know that she couldn't make things up and behave inappropriately. Out school principal told us to do this after I spoke with her about the problems. This isn't fun, but the more you can be calm and rational, the better off you will be. It is likely that the degree of your upset when the cops were called was a big part of why they asked for your diagnosis, and for other things. Plus some people are idiots, but that is just life. This will end, but it will go better if you are honest, open, and up front about things. Work hard not to be offended - remember that most cps people are there because they truly CARE.
