[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 182698, member: 1550"] I hate CPS, but I'd still call them. If you assume the girl is lying, or think it's not so bad, and she ends up dead or in the hospital, how bad will you feel? I would rather err on the side of caution. CPS's job is to figure out what is going on. I agree that excessive screaming at the child is a red flag. Isolated families also have a higher rate of abuse. I just would not walk away from the girl. I wouldn't even talk to her about the abuse. She may shut down once you talk to her or retract it because she's afraid you're going to tell her parents, who are abusive. I'd call CPS and let them do their job--to determine whether or not abuse is going on. Just because she is taking medications doesn't mean she isn't being abused. Let your conscience guide you with this one. Good luck and glad your daughter won't be around for the fallout. At the very least, this family will be closely watched. [/QUOTE]
