CPS is required to inform you of their findings within 60 days (in New York). This consists of "founded" or "unfounded."
If the CPS Unit is following their confidentiality rules you will NEVER see a copy of the initial complaint, nor the investigation materials for that matter. To make those available to the public, particularly to the subject of an investigation, would have a dramatic chilling effect on anyone ever again reporting their concerns about a child being abused. If 60 days have passed, call your worker and ask if a determination has been made - you ARE entitled to a determination in writing.
This is all based on what is best for the child. If you feel you are being deliberately, and wrongfully, reported, it is a crime to do so in most states - although you won't get far based on the above.
Let it go and think of the child.

Child abuse reports are protected by federal law. You can't get a copy of it, unless CPS took you to court and was planning to use it as a document to gain custody of your kids. Since that didn't happen, you can't see it. This is to protect the reporting source.

City Public Service? As in the electric company? Or do you mean Child Protective Services?Check with your local District Attorneys office and see what they tell you.
