[QUOTE="Andy, post: 174280, member: 5096"] The key word is MANDATORY. Mandatory reporters are to report just about anything that MAY indicate something is wrong. Sometimes it is over a very simple thing, but think about those kids out there that are not safe, this is the best way of reaching them. Then, CPS MUST follow up to make sure the child is safe. Hopefully the info CPS received from ER is enough to close their case, I don't know. We all know that things happen that are accidental, overlooked issues, etc. I believe that CPS should know to look at the circumstances and determine if the child is truly in danger or not. They are just as frustrated as we are over a waste of their time. I would bet if they do visit, they will immediatley see that what happened is not a common event in your home. They will review the security of alcohol with kids in the house - I would hope it would be more informational/encouraging than judgemental/scolding. You know in your heart that you have done nothing wrong. Relax and bring that confidence out if you get a visit. Don't look at it as they are accussing you, they are not - they are just gathering information. Continue to be cooperative. Show that since you discovered the problem, you have implemented the steps needed to prevent it from happening again. You will be fine. [/QUOTE]
