The phone rings and the other voice says, "This is a bit noisy from the protection service of the child." Are you the mother of your child? "The world begins to turn around you, your mind will stop, they are trying to make your child a little away from you, and it must definitely be some kind of horrible misunderstanding!
Do not panic.
Before your knees get out and you concentrate yourself on the kitchen floor, there are a few things you need to know.
• CPS is obliged to legally investigate all reports received, but most of the investigation has not happened. Therefore, the CPS does not need the proof that you have done something wrong at this time. What they have is worrying about someone.
• Many people in your child's life have similar obligations. Your child's teacher, social worker, nurse, or other professional may have received legal directives to report possible signs of child abuse or abuse to the child protection service. So when a child with your special needs accidentally hit the stove burner, they left a seal to call the teacher as CPS. And CPS will call you.
• False or malicious reports to CPS are Class A fraudulent acts and you can charge fees. Therefore, even if a malignant person comes out to bully you or your child, you rely on: Please contact your local prosecutor and claim the expenses immediately.
Your legal rights
• You have the right to obtain a copy of the report you name (in general, all information that indicates the source of the report will be edited).
• You have the right to inform the results of the investigation based on a report with your name.
• With such a survey, if the report is judged to be legitimate and you have the right to challenge the decision, you have the right to be notified of the method of opposition.
• The CPS survey respondent has the right to obtain a copy of all information about the file. You may also have the right to modify or delete some of that information.
CPS phone strategy
Well, it's time for meat and potatoes because all of it is at a loss. - Do things not to do with CPS along the phone.
• Prosely polite: Hostility to CPS workers is universally regarded as a sign of guilt. Since the person on the other side of the phone can hear it, even if you do not feel it at all, make a big smile on your face. And please be polite as much as possible.
• Ask exactly what you are prosecuting: CPS workers are legally obliged to inform you the exact details of the report, but often prefer keeping things as general as possible . Please do not accept "abuse" or "ignore" as accusation. They are categories. Request to convey the exact details of the charges and keep it from moving further until you hear it. Please make sure that CPS workers understand that your child has special needs.
• As soon as you hear the accusation, please hang up and consult a lawyer. Never, never stay on the phone with CPS. You are probably getting the only two goals you can help you: you know that CPS is investigating you and they are trying to prove. Literally, the only other word you can probably say on the phone is to give you proof that you can potentially use in the courtroom. "Talking with a lawyer, having a great day and talking to a lawyer after hanging up," Thank you. Please share the details of the accusation with them and plan how to disprove them.
