Answer 1

Okay. Calm down. First of all, it's anonomous. I don't think they are permitted to give you the name of the person who turned you in, so you can't file a suit against an unknown person. Second...if everything you say is true, then Children Services will visit your house once, maybe twice and see that for themselves. Most of their calls end up being from spiteful people. Just relax, answer his/her questions and don't lash out. Be calm and be yourself. If there is nothing for them to find, then they won't find it and you will be fine. Good luck!

Answer 2

o.k. the first thing you need to do is go down to protective service and request a full report of this investigation. the investigation is bound to be SEVERAL pages long. it's been my experience that SOMETIMES a name is not blacked out of the report completely... or that they completely forget to black it out SOMEWHERE in the report!

what i'm saying is YOU NEED PROOF about who did this... not just a hunch. and for the record, there really isn't anything that you can sue someone for in this regard. harassment will not fly unless it's based on your sex, race, handicap... something protected under the Elliott Larson Act, which is federal law. there's this little thing called "freedom of speech" that allows people to slander others all of the time. i use the word slander to make a point. some people (that don't know the law) will say this is clearly slander and you have a suit. YOU DON'T. slander is something that hurts your chances at employment or inables you from doing your current job because your EMPLOYER believes something.. and fires you.. or cuts your hours... it can't just be that you think this is interfering with your employment because you hate your co-worker: THAT WON'T CUT IT!

my advice... get a new job OR, get the proof that you need on this person and get them fired... but be careful... manipulation and trickery can backfire... OR you could always kill this person with kindness... have you ever heard this expression "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" ? in the end the decision is yours alone on how to handle this situation. i just wanted to give you a little legal view on things.

one other thought came to mind... it is possible that the person that reported you called 9-1-1 and was patched through to protective service. if THAT is the case you can get a copy of the 9-1-1 tape through the freedom of information act. call your local police department and find out who to contact about a 9-1-1 tape made on ______ day at approx_____ time (which you can get from the protective service report.

BEST OF LUCK!

Answer 3

You can't stop some one from calling if they are concerned for the child's welfare. However, I have heard of a case won by some one who filed harassment charges after multiple times of false calls to CPS. The tricky thing is, those calls are supposed to be anonymous, so unless they admit to it I don't know what you could do about it. Good luck and in the mean time make sure you cross the t's and dot the i's (that is be careful I mean.)

Answer 4

Once CPS has closed your case and finds no fault with you, use that paperwork to file charges against the person who reported you. You'll probably need a lawyer, but in some states this is equivalent to filing a false report. You have a right to know the accusations against you as well as the identity of the person after the fact. Once charges are filed, you can pursue civil action against them.

Best to get a lawyer while the investigation is underway.

Answer 5

Do you have proof they called it in? What did CPS say? If you have proof and CPS said there was nothing wrong yes I would;d file against them. They are probably jealous of you. I'm sorry for what you are going through. I have a 5 month old son to and would be very upset if that happened to me

Answer 6

You will not get your child taken away unless the person who said this has proof.

Neither can you keep your child unless they have proof from people you know; that you are a good mother.
I would recommend you to get a lot of family members who know you well, and let them say their testimony to an authority of some sort.

It is really cruel to do such thing; but its evenmore cruel to abuse a 5 month old.

Good luck

Answer 7

Oh hon, you don't be attentive to what number cases my young infants have by risk bumped their heads going into the motor vehicle. i does no longer subject too lots - it appears like on a similar time as she could mean properly, that she has a controversy with you and needs to get a grip. If she is going to be threatening to call CPS on you for each little ingredient, i think of i could take my toddler someplace else. as quickly as your infants have been given cellular and into issues, they'll look much extra bruised from exploring, knocking issues over, falling, and so on. as long as he exchange into wakeful, confirmed no signs and warning signs of listlessness or pupil dilation, vomiting or something like that, he exchange into probable advantageous. you would be attentive to if that they had a head harm because of the fact their habit could probable exchange extensively. any further tell your ex regardless of she is to concepts her very own employer and optimistically CPS will do the comparable. they'll probable brush off it and which would be it - yet be arranged for ex MIL to ballistic and make your existence depressing if she would not get her way - it appears like she is out to get you or needs to work out you punished. : / in line with risk you may locate a clean babysitter.

Answer 8

Talk to your supervisor, and tell them of your suspicions. Any good boss, woudl look into it discretely, and fire their butts, if it is true. No one needs to work in that environment. If it is true, can you file a harrassment claim thru work? Or talk to the police and file a mischief charge. I am in canada, if your in the states im sure i cant help, but i feel bad for you

Answer 9

they should be able to check around and find that you're a good mom. Some people are very rude and inconsiderate. Even if they don't like you , they should not do that. I would take to the child protective sevice about your problem.

Answer 10

as long as cps doesn't find anything wrong, they will close the case as unfounded. and there will always be people meddling where they don't belong. make sure it is not your family doing it.
