[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 344370, member: 1991"] The best you can do is weather the storm. therapist has to notify CPS if there is sufficient chance, and she doesn't know difficult child well enough yet to know if she's lying or not. She can't take the chance that she's not lying, she has to notify. Failure to do so is to fail to support a child who might genuinely be in crisis. Especially if therapist is young, she may not yet be cynical about CPS. If CPS do their job properly, then you should all be in the clear. The thing is - every time you get investigated and cleared, reduces difficult child's chances of succeeding with this ploy. So it is in your interests to cooperate, even though it is frustrating and feels like a major waste of time. Just make sure you have all your ducks in a row. You have other kids who will be interviewed by CPS. What are they likely to say? If you know you've done nothing wrong, any of you, then breathe easy. And keep telling yourself - therapist was doing her job. How would you feel if a child was genuinely in need (say, being molested by the babysitter and the parents not knowing this) and therapist did nothing? It's a very difficult call for any therapist to make, but failure to make that call and to act even on mere suspicion, is against their professional rules. Marg [/QUOTE]
