[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 45913, member: 1550"] Yep. I know a parent who had a bipolar kid. He was blatantly psychotic. She lost her kid because a clueless social worker from CPS checking out an allegation decided SHE was the problem, although she had done everything for her child. They decided he had been sexually abused, although they had absolutely no proof. It was "the way he reacted with our psycologist." Duh. He didn't play normally with toys. Last I heard, she still didn't have her kid. I always cringe when people invite social services into their lives. While it can help at times, in my opinion, the risks are too great and simply not worth it. The courts tend to side with the social workers no matter what. My best advice remains: Do what they want WITHOUT showing them an attitude or they could get a personal vendetta against you. Some of these social workers are egotistical and not very well educated on these children. Like the rest of the world, they blame us. If you can (this is to others) in my opinion don't involve social services in your kid's life. in my opinion they inspect every little thing you do and tend to twist it to the negative. They will lie about you and, yes, your name can be on an abuse registry forever. I know in Illinois, even if your next door neighbor is mad at you for not cutting the lawn and calls CPS and it's unfounded, that report on you is NOT erased anymore. It's there forever. They claim it's for your protection so that "nobody can keep harassing you" but I never bought that. If I'm innocent, I want it off my record. [/QUOTE]
