You do not have to let CPS in your home without a warrant. If they are concernced about the welfare of your children, you can stand them in front of a door or a window so they can see that the kids are okay. You should get a lawyer immediately and absolutely do not talk to CPS without one present. They are not your friends. The child should have an advocate present. That's why you should get a lawyer and have your lawyer get an advocate for your child. Read "The Child Abuse Industry" by Mary Pride. It's sad that CPS and its equivalents nationwide are often as abusive as they claim the parents are. What state do you live in? You might check with Citizens Against Systems Abuse (CASA) and other organizations to help you. If you will write to Citizens Protecting Your Rights, P.O. Box 2413, Aurora, Il. 60507-2413, we can hook you up with some resources and information.

What are a child who is mentally impaired and a child who has adhd doing home without some type of supervision?
And I don't understand what the threat was. Did they call the police? If they are playing on the phone calling 9-1-1 then the police have to go to the place where the 9-1-1 calls are originating from to make sure everything is OK. If there is no adult there, then the police have probable cause to enter the house and make sure that everything is OK.
If that wasn't the case, then I would need a few more details as to what actually happened.

I know a woman who was sexually abused when she was a child.
She later had 3 children of her own.
Her unemployed live-in boyfriend molested and raped her 2 little girls and 1 little boy for five years. It began when the oldest was 4 and continued until she was 9 years old.
The mother had experienced the same treatment during her childhood. She is well educated and aware of child molestation and it's warning signs.
She continued to leave her children with the pervert while she worked to support them all. She carried on affairs with other men at the time.
Finally, her oldest daughter reported the abuse to a teacher. When CPS intervened and questioned the mother, she denied everything. She protected the boyfriend and told CPS her children were lying. She instructed her children to remain silent.
CPS stepped in an took the children. The police prosecuted the boyfriend and he is in prison. During their investigation, they found his computer littered with child pornography. They also found a box of live fragmentation hand grenades on the floor of their bedroom closet. The box was accessible by the children.
I later learned the details of the case through a police officer friend. The boyfriend did unspeakable things to the children. There is NOTHING that he did not do to them! Nothing!
He even forced the children to have sex with each other.
The court found the mother unfit, and denied her custody of her own children. She can only visit them if they are supervised by another adult.
Today, the mother cries and whines that she alone is the victim. She does not mourn for her children and their lost innocence. It is all about her. She says CPS is unfair, although she knew all along her children were molested and raped. She thinks CPS, the police, the courts, and evidence are unfairly trying to steal her children. She does not see the truth.
I am no implying that you are unfit in any way.
But I Do say
THANK GOD FOR CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES!

It is most likely that an individual known as CPS and filed a file in opposition to you. Don't recognize legally if the CPS employee has to spot themselves. You could wish to name the regional workplace of CPS and ask them what's going on. Keep your cool while you speak to them. If you've gotten the assets, you could wish to seek advice a legal professional approximately your teenagers' and your rights. Also verify CPS's internet site to look if they've any recommendations indexed there.

CPS does not deal with criminal matters, therefore there is not requirement to allow an attorney to be present. They can question your children at anytime if they feal there is a risk to the child, or if there is evidence of abuse. CPS works through the civil courts. The only time an attorney is guanteed, and provided, is when CPS is attempting to terminate parental rights. Other than that, there are no rules regarding attorneys or questioning. They only have to notify you to let you know they talked to your child. They do not need permission or your presence to do so. Most likely, they will not allow you to be present during interviews, as the child may not answer honestly.

Your probably not going to like my answer
I am not fond of some of the tactics CPS uses, but yes it is legal for them to come into your home and investigate a complaint, the can get the Law Enforcement involved if you do not comply with there wishes. 19 years old is legally an adult (mentally impaired or not) so they can be questioned without a parent or gaurdian.

I know to a small extend how you feel.
My son was 7 when he injured his arm in a baseball (tball)game and I took him to the hospital (fearing his arm was broken)
They immediately seperated us and question him at length about his injury.
I was at first quit angry but after my anger subsided, I had to admit that it was great that they did want to find out the truth and it would have been difficult for the child to confess to it if I were in the room glaring at him.
SInce I did nothing wrong it was more annoying than anything.
Ultimately child abuse hurts ALL members of our society so if it means that I have to get my feelings hurt to see that all children are safe, SO BE IT!
I didnt and dont have anything to hide
so I am not too upset if they would like to question him with regards to any abuse

CPS doesn't care.. My son was in a "mental health hospital" for problems.. they came in and talked to him.. After they left, he REFUSED any type of family therapy and behavior got worse.. To his day I am wondering what they said to him.. CPS can do anything they choose to do and according the my attorney there isn't anything we can do about it.. U can't sue them because they are "looking out for the kids".. BS.. I have had many run ins with CPS and for the most part, most of them are ignorant JAzzes who think they are God and treat us like SHI-..because they can.

I'm no lawyer, but I think that if someone is not of right mind and body and there was no court order, you can refuse them until counsel is present. You should check this out further. Your rights may have been infringed apon.
