Have you ever had CPS called on you or someone you know?
The CPS worker post got me wondering. Has anyone ever had CPS called on them or known a personal close friend of family member that has. What happened.
I haven't. I have never known anyone who has, but I have called.
They have not been called on me, I hope to keep it that way.
Social services used to check up on us sometimes, not because we had done anything wrong or someone had made a complaint, but my elder son is my stepson whom I adopted, my husband had just gotten full custody of him when we met, he lived with his biological mother beforehand and she was very neglectful, so they did checkups just to make sure he was progressing and that everything was okay in the home. We had one run in with CPS, my husband suffers from chronic pain from skin graphs he got a few years ago because of third degree burns, so he has to take a pain medication some days. He was switched onto a new medication, which he reacted poorly too, and he accidently took one pill too many, right before we went to a dinner for my college and he acted strangely at the dinner. We live in a small town, word spreads, and my sons biological mothers boyfriend (they live in the same town) called CPS and told them my husband was a crackhead. Meth houses are a big problem in our town, so they take things like that very seriously. We had to do some drug tests, get some people at the dinner to tell them what really happened, have his doctor speak to them, and have some random house visits and searches, they saw that there was absolutely nothing bad going on and left us alone.
Not on me, but when I was a child CPS was constantly in our lives. My brothers and I had our own case workers who came and saw us at school, made random house visits, bought us christmas presents,etc.
My sister's neighbor called on her once. She had some guys delivering a couch and she was telling her 2 year old to get out of the way while they were carrying it and she and Daddy started teasing him that they were going to tie him up to keep him out of the way. The neighbor called cps and told them she was tying her kids and and beating and starving them.
Quoting Anonymous:
I haven't taken my 2½ year old to a doctors appointment since he was a few months old. Is that a crime?
Quoting loving_my2boys:
Yes, twice. Once by an anonymous caller saying I hadnt take my child to any doctors appointments since they were born (they were 3 months old) and that I was smoking pot around my kids and their clothes reeked of it. I was drung tested, came out clean, and gave them the medical record from their doctor. Second time my mom kicked me out and kept my kids then called and accused me of doing drugs and neglecting them. Both times the cases were dropped immediately.
Ironically enough, she's had CPS called in her quite a few times for starving her son. Who was breastfed the first 4 months but since she only did it 6 times a day they forced her to feed him baby purees. They'd also been called on because her house was not heated, her dogs had fleas that were practically eating her son alive, and probably also because she refuses to spend time with him. From the time he wakes up he goes to the living room into the floor, to his play pen, back to his crib, and back to his playpen or in an area closed off by baby gates. She refuses to hold him and has spanked him since he was 8 months old. I don't know how she didn't get him taken away.
I've called on a cousin before. And I've had them called on my mom before, which led to my adoption at 16.
I found out via text DH has TWO other babies *update
Who should clear the tree that hit my house?
