[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 646364, member: 2196"] First off I want to thank everyone for your support these last few days. It's been hell on my anxiety and you all made it bearable. So the bottom line is my kids are still with me. The social worker didn't even bat an eye when I told her there was the four of us living in one apartment. I am very relieved for that. After questioning me about my living arrangements, she listed all the complaints I had against me. First of all, There was a complaint that I had dishes in the sink. Okay so now I KNOW it was the principal who reported me. I get up early every single morning before work and do all the left over dishes in the sink. Every morning without fail. When the principal came over the day she confiscated the laptop, difficult child had just made herself lunch and left her dishes in the sink. I cannot believe I was actually reported for a few dishes in the sink! The second complaint was prescription pill bottles out where my kids can access them. I explained to the social worker that the medications are my kids, they take them, and I didn't think it was a crime to have my TEENAGE kids pill bottles not locked up in a cabinet. The social worker agreed with me. Thirdly there was a complaint that my cats looked sick. Okay so our dear sweet Kitty had megacolon and was skinny. I took her to the vet regularly and she was on lifetime medications. Unfortunately the disease overtook her and the medications stopped working. She ended up being euthanized. The social worker knew about our cat dying. We had an anonymous call to animal control a couple of months ago and animal control came out to look at our cats. I was required to get them a check up and animal control contacted my vet to make sure I did it. I never heard from animal control again. Now I know whoever called animal control is the same person who called CPS. The social worker knew all about Lily's skin infection and she knew about Kitty passing away. My daughter was in the school office crying when we lost our dear Kitty and everybody knew about it. I know it's the principal who called. I told the social worker I knew who reported me, and she denied knowing who it was. She claims it was done anonymously. I told the social worker about the problems I have been having with the principal. She was floored when I told her she came and took difficult child's laptop. Her jaw dropped open and she was speechless. She ended up telling me she is going to follow up with animal control to get a report on my cats, and once she verifies I did everything I was supposed to do, she is going to close my case. She said the case should be closed in a few days. I am relieved. Oh and this morning my administrator emailed me and gave me the name, number, and email of the Director of Education so I can file a formal complaint. I am going to do so. Meanwhile we have an IEP meeting next Friday for difficult child. We will be discussing possible half days and half independent study. This will give difficult child a chance to prove she can handle one or two classes on her own. If she proves she cannot work independently, she will go back to full days at the school.
