has your child's school called dss on you?how did you react?have you pulled that child out of that school?

Question

He's not a jouvenile delinquent. Far from it. He's doing above grade average in every part. I think his teacher does not like my husband or I and have tried her hardest to think she can get us in trouble. I don't want him at that school if that's the way the teachers are doing. I'm afraid his education will suffer.

Answer 1

yes, it was pain in the @55 trust me....it only happen last yr cz my son act out in school and start throwing chair....the only reason he did that cz they don't want him to used the restroom...which is i don't understand at all.......anyways your right about them if they don't like you they will see your kid as a problem child....anyways my misery only started when my son teacher almost choke him.....as a parent i did my right.....i reported the teacher.....well guess what instead of them seeing the teacher on fault they blame my child for being active..........since then they always see my son as a problem child (yap they label him) even his not in fault.....i was crazy i didn't think and transfer him to a different school......anyways thank goodness the DSS drop my case.....well as they could see i'm trying my best to be a good parent to my son for that school accused me for child neglegent........DSS advise me to put my son under psychiatrist, theraphy and so i did just for them to drop the case.........trust me it was too much drama that time.........i just don't understand it only started when the teacher choke my son.....i should of sue that teacher for giving this kinda trouble to us....but it waste of time..........anyways i do believed that if they didn't pay right now.....god will make away to have those crazy ppl to pay back.......to do believed on KARMA!

any how i transfer my son by asking the school principal at first he doesn't want my son to be transfer....but i refused.......the school district get involved and i ask the DSS to transfer my son........so they did help me........and this lady thats work from DSS she really help A LOT.......i'm not sure where you from so i could ask her to give you some help......................i'm from los angeles......any how if you are from here too just put your detail where i could give you her information.....................

Answer 2

LOL, listen lady. We teachers are far too busy educating your children to bother calling DSS and bogging THEM down with cases that won't go anywhere. If a teacher reports you to DSS (and how do you know it was the teacher anyway), then it's because she feels there is a legitimate reason to do so. It's not because she just doesn't like you. If that were the case, I'd be reporting half the parents I come into contact with. Your rationale of pulling the child out of the school is also pretty asinine. One teacher doesn't constitute leaving an entire school. You should also keep in mind that teachers have a LEGAL OBLIGATION to report any suspected abuse, whether it's real or not. Not doing so could jeopardize their careers. If you did nothing wrong, feel privileged to know that your child has teachers who care enough about him to do something when they suspect he's being mistreated or neglected.

Answer 3

How do you know it was the teacher that called? Many, many people come in contact with your child. The call may not have even originated at the school or from the teacher. Earlier this school year I had a parent come in upset that CPS was called, and it was not us that made the call- it was the hospital. How did I know? The social worker called ME to discuss the child and indicated that the call did not originate on campus but elsewhere. The child had been in the hospital.

Further, we are REQUIRED BY LAW to make a call if there is an indicator of abuse and/or neglect- not because we don't "like" the parents. If sued and this is proven, we could lose our career over it. Frankly, not worth it.

Recently, I had a child in my class whose other school called CPS. The father was furious that the record followed the child to our school and the social worker came to my school to follow-up on the child. Yes, the record travels with the child from school to school.

So, if CPS was called and there is a concern over the welfare of your children, take notice and take action. If you have done nothing wrong- don't worry about it. It will be dropped as "unfounded".

Answer 4

DSS? Is that anything like Children and Youth? Does DSS stand for Department of Social Services? If so, yes, once. My boys got into a scuffle, the one giving the other a lovely shiner and C&Y were called. The school informed me they had to due to protocol, they could actually suffer severe repricussions if they don't call. If they chose to overlook it because the child states the shiner, other bruise, or what ever it is, is from something small (a scrap btwn siblings) and it was due to a parent doing something they shouldn't have been doing or lack of the parent doing something they should the school will be held responsible. My theory was, I have nothing to hide so I don't worry.

Answer 5

It happened to us once because my daughter went around telling people her dad spanked her brother so hard it left marks (not true....very much an exageration). The school officials are obligated to call the child services and they came to our home to interview both their dad and me and the kids and observed everything. They did determine it was nothing, but, even though it was not a nice thing for us to go through since we had done nothing wrong, I think it is a good thing they do that since there are kids at school who really are being abused and better they check it out than leave a child in a situation where they are being abused.

Answer 6

has your child's school called dss on you? No, there's no reason for it. In fact my son's teacher thanked me for raising him right.
how did you react? Wouldn't happen.
have you pulled that child out of that school? If the school were to call DSS on me of course I wouldn't pull him out of school? Why would I hide if I didn't have anything to hide? Pulling him out of school would only prove I was guilty. I wouldn't be so I wouldn't stop him from going to school. If you keep your kid home from school for too long that's another strike against you.

Answer 7

Pulling the child out of school will make you look more guilty. Unless you are legitimately (and legally) going to home-school your child, it is a sure-fire way of getting your kid taken away from you quickly.

Be open and honest with the social worker (and do what ever they say, other than voluntarily signing your kid away) and you'll get through it best.
Only exception is if you are guilty, you don't have to admit to anything that will get criminal charges pressed against you.

Answer 8

yes. I was a harmless incident, but the teacher has to report any suspicion of abuse (its the law). It was investigated, found to be nothing, and the case was closed without prejudice. I don't have any animosity towards my sons teacher or the school.

Answer 9

No my children are not juvenile delinquents! If yours is not, you should protest, complain and take your child out of such a horrible school. If they are, then best to accept the consequences and get help.
