[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587661, member: 1550"] Trust me, from my training we are pretty much told that CPS can't do much unless the child is obviously neglected or beaten and bruised from head to toe. It was very disheartening and straight from CPS as they told us how frustrating it is and how the parents get the rights and everything has to be proven. CPS would go talk to them. They'd have to. I don't know about anything else. They may wonder why YOU don't have easy child, if he asks to go home. If they were depriving him of eating and he was all bones, that's neglect. Not sure what forcing him to pretty much skip breakfast is unless he isn't fed all day. I was really shocked at how little power CPS has in family disputes unless it is blatant. I would be temped to let him come home after reading this. He can't be lying in bed until twelve while Her Magesty sleeps all summer long. My guess is she doesn't want him up or the TV on because she is both mean-spirited and plain doesn't want a pin to drop while she sleeps in. If husband isn't going to take hold of this and tell her this is HIS kid and she is NOT going to confine him to his room, nobody is going to step in for him. This sounds like a very bad situation. To me it sounds like she is deliberately being cruel. I hope easy child adjusts to his new school. IF he doesn't, that may be another issue you have to think about. [/QUOTE]
