[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 344433, member: 1991"] Since you're also a mandatory reporter, then you have some idea of what to expect. I agree, it's a darned nuisance especially if difficult child has deliberately done this to cause trouble. If difficult child has done this out of a misplaced sense of injustice, then he's in for a shock and (hopefully) a lesson in perspective. Meanwhile, it's one more thing you could do without. Breathe, try to un-knot your stomach muscles and tell yourself that every time an accusation is unfounded, you look rosier and difficult child looks muddier. We had something similar happen with us when difficult child 3 was 2 years old. He had no diagnosis, we knew there was a problem but we couldn't get any help. Didn't even know where to start. The doctor kept saying there was nothing wrong and accusing me of attention-seeking when I kept saying, "I think there's something wrong." Next thing, the child care agency called the welfare authorities on me because of difficult child 3's language delay and our alleged inaction. I got treated like a criminal and neglectful mother, caught in Catch 22 logic. My own disability was seen either as a manifestation of my own "mental instability" or my physical inability to parent. But when it got sorted - never again. They know the full story now, and nobody has ever tried that one again. If they did, it would get thrown out. It was upsetting at the time, though. Marg [/QUOTE]
