Quote From: queenbee1011I agree with some of your points, for the children that need SS . With that said,I am at the opposite end of that spectrum. It is so frustrating to me that every time my husbands ex gets mad at him she calls DSS on me and they have shown up. She does it out of complete malice. I wish they would spend their efforts where needed and tell her to get a life! She makes up all kinds of stupid lies but because her family works for our police dept they are more than happy to accommodate. I called them to get help for one of my kids friends and they tell me they can't help but she calls and they show up at my house for the same thing I called about, and it doesn't even pertain to my family. It is the worst feeling in the world to have them show up at your door, for false accusations and you have to defend yourself because someone is narcissistic.
If your in the wrong and are harming or putting your children in danger then ya I agree with calling DSS. There needs to be some recourse for someone making false accusations/false report. If there was, then the children that REALLY need the help would be getting it. It takes 1 minute missed that can save a child's life that is in danger.
In our state it is against the law to make malicious reports. The problem is that CPS cannot tell who the reporter is. If you can prove that the reporter is doing this out of malice you have a case. As a person who has worked with child abuse and neglect for 30 years it really angers me when people do this is custody cases, they have no idea what this does to the children to have case workers investigating all of the time.
