What would you do if a family member call Child Services on you?

Question

Well after a few weeks they were mad i wasnt talking to them so they called child services as retaliation... even tried gettign the police after me. told the police my child was healthy and smart and fed and clothed and not abused... just wondering how anyone else would react

Answer 1

baseball bat VS human head

Answer 2

I would take a look at my life and figure out what was wrong with it to put myself in that predicament.  Obviously there is something wrong somewhere, you need to figure out where and to fix the problem.

Answer 3

if a family member did that to me , then i"m sorry i"m not a violent person, but i would have to punch their lights out..

Answer 4

I might be pissed enough to keep all contactwith that person cut off .  You can't control what he or she does.  But you can limit your contact to the actions as much as possible.  That and keep being a good mother to your kid so that if the CPS accusation was made again they would again find a healthy happy child.

Answer 5

child services will assess the situation and if your children are ok then they will see that there is no basis for the call.. however, it cant be good for them to see there mother being abused and yelled at.. you need to get your kids and leave.. find a place where there is peace..

there is very little information you gave except that your  being abused.... I cant help but wonder why adults would cause so much stress on the kids..

Answer 6

Well first thing, If these people have no proof your a bad mother, they have no right to do that. I bet your such a good mother there envying you. Dont talk to them still, they will only make it worse. Im not a mother but, thats just what i think

Answer 7

I'd be pissed and consider trying to prosecute them for filing a false report. What a crappy thing for them to do. There should be a consequence.

When CPS is called under these circumstances, it takes time away from families who really NEED them. Most people know CPS is understaffed.
