Has someone ever called CPS on you out of spite? Have you called on someone? Why?

While I think that CPS does amazing things in helping children get out of bad situations and such, I also think that way to many people call CPS on people when they have no real grounds to do so...People also use it as a form of revenge...Do you think there should be a penalty of some sort if someone calls CPS more then once on someone and nothing comes of it? Have you ever called CPS on someone? Why? What was the outcome?
I have personally had CPS involved in my life due to struggling with addiction a few years back (I am not over two years clean and CPS free, lol), however just recently I had CPS call me and ask me questions regarding something someone had reported. It was totally false information, not only that but far fetched, and I do not know who called, nothing came of it and it was dropped. There wasn't even a follow up visit. However, I couldn't help being angry and upset because I busted my #ss to turn my life around for my kids and I have two healthy, happy children who are safe and loved. I know people that are afraid to answer their doorbell because they are scared it will be CPS over some bs...I even had a friend kill herself over them taking her children and as soon as she died, they gave them to the dad, who is a drug addict. I know the system is far from perfect and their are exceptions to every rule, I just want everyone's opinions. Please do not post any mean comments or judgments, this is a place to share your opinion and obviously everyone has a different one:)

Yup, I got called on when my son was 3 and I had just kicked out a toxic roommate. She had stayed with me for two months when her parents were locking her out, and had no where to go. She agreed to pay rent and I only had a couch for her, but let her enjoy the living room. She quickly changed into a different person even though I've known her for 5 years. She got fired from her job, invited men from internet dating sites over for one night stands, and was just plain gross. She was refusing to pay rent for January, and had been stupid with some gang guys who then stole her car. Which had mail including my home address, and my key to my home. That was the last straw, no more help from me, and putting my son through that! I kicked her out. I had a CPS worker come exactly a month later, I knew she had called. She told them I was an alcoholic and smoked pot, and I had a stash in my kitchen drawer, and how my son's father had been to rehab the year before. I was hurt. Luckily my friend works in CPS and helped me, she looked up what had been written and that it had been submitted at 3am a few days after I had kicked her out. I was so angry, she knew what a good mom I was and how hard I tried to better my son's life. I was a single mom so I was pushed to my limits when this happened. Luckily my son's father was great, it actually brought us a little closer. CPS was mean, they had been going to the wrong address ( stupid chic couldn't even remember where she had stayed for months), and was very frantic to see my son and check me out. It really hurts being a good mom and somebody passing judgement on you that you are an unfit parent. They came for the interview and I was nervous even though I had nothing to hide, my son's father was there, and we had a nice time with her. She did the mouth drug test on us, and then left saying she would call us in a few days. I never heard from CPS again. It jolts you, it is a rude awakening that this can happen. I scoured the internet for information, and talked to friends who had gone through CPS. It happens, people are stupid, and vengeful. She knew how much I loved and adored my son, yet she tried to get him taken from me. Jealousy I suppose. I will never know. This was three years ago and thankfully I have never seen her again. If I do, she better run! Don't call CPS on good parents- it is a waste of time.

If the case was dismissed and nothing was done then you can find out who it was that called on you because it is falsifying documents alot of people don't know that and CPS tries to deny it but it is your right to know. Not all CPS caseworkers are truthful in my case my old caseworker falsified the drug tests and also in many other cases prior to mine. things can be done i spent hours researching and trying to find information and trust me i found plenty. Its the will power that you have... everyone has a bad past but thats just it a past and we are judged for it in the present and most likely in the future as well...

Hello my name is Michelle Caceres an I m a victim of Child Protective Sevices.This is the third time that these animals have ruin, and caused confusin, pain, and suffing in my life.These people have turn my life up side down, and I'm not the only person they have hurt.Go on the internet look up fightcps.com you will see how many people's life they have ruin, and how many people have been abused by these heartless animals.As a child they knew I was a child stuck in a broken home, and instead of them helping me, knowing I was being beat up by my father everyday, my parents abusng crack, and forcing me to be a mother a thirdteen.By their own negligent they did not take me from the home, they left me to continue to live in a home where they knew harm was being done to me.11 mouths ago my three year old child was sexualy abused, again I needed help for my baby well I thought Child Protective Services were going to help me the loving concern mother and my baby, boy was I so wrong.They did nothing for my child only made it worst for her beng so young.Not once did they go to this guys house to make him awear of the alligations that were put aganist him or question him, they said due to age they were not sure she was telling the truth.So just like that I wen't from victim to suspect, due to me studing Crime Scene Investigation I knew my rights, and when I was at my lowest point tring to sav myself losing my child, God picked me up.Their is a saying God said for when you are week, God wil make you that much stronger, so when I hit rock bottom, God lifted me up and put m in front of the computer and started to do my own research. Thats when I found fightcps.com and I beat them and they cleard me as a fit mother, in a good houshold, they could not prove any type of neglect, or abuse.So here I am again being abused byChild Protective Servics, here is what happen I don't have a good relationship with my two sisters.One which at the time was liveing with me and my daughter's father, and her son so she can have a place to live, an took care of her son all the time also on the weekens so se could go out, I don't go out because the weekends were for me and my kids.Well I was having problems with my sister Vanessa Caceres, and Stefaine Caceres, never in a million years woud I think they would go so far to call Child Protetive Services and make such horrible lies upon me, ths is not the first time they did a nasty malishis act on me just to hurt me.So the day Kira Sholes social worker and two cops showed up to my door, I did not know what to think, it was about 9:30 in the morning, so if course I was shocked and still half asleep.I knew my rights Kira Sholes and the cops forced them self in my home at broke my fourh Amendment, and begain to attack me, not giving me a chance to defind myself.They were to busy accusing me of all these terriable alligations that where put upon me, already profieing me on what my two sisters had alligted on me.That same day they went to my daughter's daycare to interview my three year old baby girl her name is Victoria Cuebas, they talk to her and took pictures of her and they said their were no marks on her.They also question the owner of the daycare, and told them my daugher was always in school on time, was clean.She also told them my daughter never had any type of marks or abuse, and she was a sweet happy child.Maybe two days later Kira Sholes showed back up to my home, this time I was up and awake because I know my rights. I knew I did not have to open my door, so I open the window an aked her what I could do for her, she asked me if I could open the door and let her in so she could talk to me.I told her she could talk to me through the window, she had no warrent so by law and being an American Citizen I did not have to open the door and let her in my home.Well I guess that made her mad so again she starts to attact and acussing me of being on some type of drug, and she said she would take my child away if I did not let her in.My daughter was home with me because I was scared they would kidnap my child in daycare, untill I was able to find out what was going on.So I had enough of being attacted and her abuseing me, I told her she did not have the right to speak to me the way she was so, I told her to have a nice day and close my window.About an hour later she came back with an officer no warrent and kidnap my daughter from me saying I was impaird and was not able to take care of my daugter, at the time it was just me and my daughter.Her father came home while this was taking place, and they kidnap my daugter from her father that had nothing to do with any of what was going on.Kira Sholes told him he could not have his daughter, no warrent because he left our baby alone with me, and he knows I'm impaird.We went to court the next day and thew out the abuse alliagtions and from their my hell began, I have been to 7 court dates 11 mouths of of them having nothing against me.The CPS had no evidence could not get his witnesess in court, they relize my sisters they were way in over their heads, when they found out, that what they had to go to court they new thay gave false steatments and they stared somthng that they did not what they just did.The point is somthing has to be done they hav put me through so much pan, suffing, lieing about me and in court I can't take ths anymore.They have no case and their wasting the sates time and money on hre say.I want somthing done this is not justic.Thank you pleas let me know somthing m E-mail is michellecaceres1980@hotmail.com

I won all 4 dispiteful cases I am on #5. I stay home, and keep top myself. This time I don't think my sisters did it I just know CPS is out to get me. Out of no where CPS calls me and wants ti interview my daughter and myself. They took my son out of class to interview with no parent consent. I think I know who did it and why, why should CPS have the right to put there nose where it don't belong, I am truly tired. I have a son who is 12, my daughter who is 7, never have they been to the hospital or doctor for injures. I don't understand why these people stay out of my life, they have my file. It shows the judge new is was done out of spite, they have interview my daughter, myself, and ripped my son out of class to interview him. I think this is bogus my kids are very loved. Now they call me out of no where on 2-27-2013 after not only did they cause me to loose the man I was going to marry, now they are messing with my kids head. I don't like looking over my shoulder I don't have to jump every time someone kn ocks on my door. Now that I am no longer with my soon to be husben, we broke up due to all the lies. Now they are still harrising me, due to CPS I lost my house, and CPS is trin to break my family up. I am so sick an tired I am only trin to live my life, Now they wanna come interview my daughter's father, and the only person who is a mother to me 3-1-2013 why. If anyone can help me out because enough is enough can I take the person who did this to me and have them put ion jail, and I wanna sue the state for harrising me 5 times, pain, and suffing. I know who ever did this is only trin to hurt me for what ever reason really 5 times I won everytime. I am hurt, angrey, tired of worring myself to sick if my daughter will be getting off the bus.

My brother and mother recently called CAS on me and made totally false accusations. I am a single mother of two as well. Fortunately, the CAS worker was able to tell that the report was out of malice when speaking with me, and contacting my childrens teachers. However, the emotional damage caused by my mother and brother reporting is unforgivable. It is so hurtful to feel like the people who are supposed to be supportive of you, are the same ones holding the knife to stab you in the back. I recently lost my job and went through a break up. I felt as if they were trying to push me over the edge, just to say she is the one with the problem, not us. CAS definately needs a better way too determine false accusations. Now I feel as if the school my children attend will always second guess me as a parent by CAS contacting them. My mother and brother totally tried to assassinate my character. I think parents who are victims of false accusations should have some sort of support group. All I feel now is hurt and betrayal. I feel like I cant trust anyone anymore. It also hurts me that because of their actions, that I will no longer be allowing my children to be around their uncle and grandmother. Anyone that uses my children as pawns to hurt me, is not thinking about my children's best interest.

My son's father used CPS as a means to try and control and hurt me years after he left me. And of course, because he was lying they found nothing. He just knew that it would hurt me. He knew and knows that my son is all that i've got. Unfortunately, a house that I had just moved in about 6 months prior had lead in it and he called on me about that, I was given 30 days to move and wasn't able to fully finish getting everything out until day 31, so I was given a neglect charge for that. Sad to say that he didn't stop until they threatened that the next time that he called they would take him away from the both of us. Some people just feel the need to have power, so they will use the system. Or as I say abuse the system.

Is there any way to find out if somebody has called CPS on you or if there is a pending investigation that I dont know about? My gut has been telling me for sometime that my sister is up to something.. I have also found a few things that have confirmed that she is gathering information ect.. Most of it is a completed lie. She doesnt have any kids but has made it her lifes work to take mine from me. This has been going on for years, in one way or another. My oldest son is now 19 and of course he is too old, but believe me she has done her share of brainwashing him. My son and I are very close but she does whatever she as often as she can to destroy that. Now, with my 8 yr old, she is 1000 times worse. The worst part is that we had to move in with her about a yr ago. This is a decison I will forever regreat. Anyhow, I have had a tough time here and there but I have never been in touble and I have always been a good mom and I still am. However, she is taken any little thing she can and just running with it. I have to know if she has started any kind of investigation or CPS case on me, how would I know or find out? I just dont want to be blindsided and I want to be prepared. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter's ex calls cps when he's angry, but he waits until it's his visitation time, then he calls. That way, he doesn't have to give her back. Typically, it's a holiday weekend(he gets her every othe friday from 6pm until saturday at 6pm). Just did it again. My daughter dropper her off on Friday. Saturday morning, he called her & said he wanted her to come get my grandaughter because he got called into work. She told him she couldn't, because she was already at work, since it was his day to have her. So, he called CPS & told them that she dropped her off on Friday all dirty. They told him it was OK to keep her until they investigated. This is Columbus day weekend, so my daughter has to wait until TUESDAY, take off work (again) and go down to family court to get her back. He did this on Christmas weekend also & CPS found nothing. The police said there isn't anything they can do. It's ridiculous.

When my son was about 4 months old I had childrens aid called on my when my son was about 4 months old. I had just been discharged from the hospital with him after being in there for 3 days and almost losing him twice. my son's father's girlfriend called childrens aid on me stating i was only allowing my son to drink water.this was after she sent me a very rude email about it not knowing the story of what my son's pediatrition told me to do ( my son was born at 33 weeks) childrens aid threatened to take my son from me the night they showed up. I was a single mom of 2 babies under the age of 2 doing everything i could for them and made sure they had absolutely everything they needed. Needless to say that after the intake worker that took the call saw my son she had no reason to be there. my son was 4 months old and weighed almost 30 lbs ( there was no way i was only allowing him water!!!!!) he was almos 8 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 12.5 oz when he was born.... Nothing came of that call and everything was dismissed..... when my son was almost 10 months old i got another knock on my door and it was again childrens aid, only this time the call (by the same person) stated that i was dealing and doing drugs around both my children WHICH IS COMPLETE NONESENCE... childrens aid then without investigating took my son from my care and placed him with my mom. i had placed my daughter with my mom prior to this due to some post partum issues and was bringing her home the very weekend my son was taken from me. I was then led on false promises that i would be able to have my babies back in my care with me if i passed 6 random drug testings. I passed all 6 tests and was very open with them in letting them know i was on anti depressants at that time due to post partum and they double checked to confirm this with my family doctor. After the testing was done and i requested to have my chilren brought home to me childrens aid told me that i was not stable enough to have them back. 2 almost 3 years later my babies are still with my mom but i now see them on a regular basis and have a great relationship with both my children!!!!!! i love my babies to death and would NEVER do anything to harm them or put them in a harmful situation!!!!! I personally do not like childrens aid but they do help families in some aspect but i also believe that they attack single moms and parents that are doing everthing they can to give their children a good life.... ( this is just my opinion!!!!!)

I have recently caught wind that someone I considered a sister and her mom, also considered a mom to me, have considered calling CPS on me. My eldest informed me of this and told me it was within the last 7 months that it came up. She told me that they told her it is because I home school my youngest and they feel that she should be in school, even though school was very hard for her and made it difficult for the teachers as well. The only reason I can think they have considered calling CPS is because they do not believe in home school. So I am still nervously waiting the day they show up to investigate.



I hate that people can make accusations when you are doing nothing wrong. I don't hide my child, she participates in activities outside the home, goes to archery lessons, is immunized, and is regularly taken to the doctors, dentist, and optometrist.



For some reason this woman I looked up to has it out for me, and I never new it. Its a scary thought, but I know I am not doing anything wrong. If they do call CPS I am sure it will forever end our friendship, and the friendship of our daughters, because I won't speak to her ever again.

Unfortunately CPS doesn't always take your back. It upsets me. If the report is done enough times and it's from someone who is related to authority figures and they do it because you caught them in an illegal act. And especially if you have several people reporting you maliciously it's hard to get out of the situation.
And when you have a crummy social worker. I have done almost everything they have asked, the only thing I struggled with was getting away from my abusive ex boyfriend. Who I have had no contact with since November of last year. Yes, it's been that long. And I have no plan on speaking to him anymore at all. I got out of it and I'm happier now.
What I want is to see and be with my kids. They have cut off ALL contact and tore them away from me permantently while my 6 year old cries and screams for his Mommy. He said he wants to be with me and they wont even honor what HE wants.
Yeah he's 6 years old, but how would you feel if you were being belittled because your not what the norm is so why take your opinion if your not a particular age? He may be 6 years old but his opinion should matter somewhat.
I have NEVER abused my children and this neighbor of mine reported I did, this same neighbor reported that I had molested and beaten and had sex in front of my son who was 2 at the time.
I was just completely angry. As far as I knew making that kind of false report isn't allowed.

This same guy was mad because I had reported him. This little girl I was babysitting told me that he had "touched her" in ways that I was very angry about. She said "He is being very very bad." and I had asked her, "Why? What happened? What did he do?" Her response was "He took me to the McDonalds and Burger King and he played with my privates with his fingers in the bathroom." --- I told CPS and RCMP(Police) about this and they COMPLETELY ignored me and pretended it never happened. Im involved with CPS I must be doing it out spite cause this guy reported me. Actually, no. I noticed how strangely she and he acted when they were around each other. This one time at my house the little girl was looking at this man and he had this strange look on his face and she unzipped his pants... he said "Not here. Not in front of these people." I was furious. I called the rcmp, I gave them the details. NOTHING again was done. He continued to have her alone and walk around with her alone. He continued to have time where he'd take her to his house for hours on end and after an entire day at his house would come to my house and this little girl would be filthy and dirty and in need of a bath, her hair was also messy.
I refused to change her diaper ever since I was accused of this "molestation". I wouldn't change her diaper or wash her anymore. I made her do it herself (She was 5 years old). I hated being accused of things that THIS person was doing. I was always accused. That's the thing, he accuses everyone else. Points the finger at EVERYONE else. Says that everyone else molests and has sex with their children. That kind of raises red flags for me.

I strongly believe that trying to put a single mother that tries her best in a bad situation is so messed up. I can relate to some of the post on here, I'm a single mother of 2 and im unemployed staying at home in which something i truly hate because i want to be on my own. I have a terrible relationship with my family who wants to see me struggle and stressed out, My sister and my mother called cps on me before, all out of spite we would have a disagreement and they would try and call, so both times they call they came out and did the inspection and seen that my child is in a very good environment and happy, they said that it is clear they was called out of spite. Now my mother is threatening me that she is going to call them on me because i stay up late at night in which i take online classes in which takes up a lot of time but regardless i take very good care of my baby she just turned 12 months, I really don't know what to do i want to move out and get my own, it's me versus everybody here and enough is enough.

My ex husband and his family used to call CPS on me all the time. Once because I was "not taking my meds and was considering killing my children", another time I was "stabbing the children with steak knives" and then they called reporting the children were being sodomized because my daughter said it hurt to go poop. CPS finally told then that they would no longer take any complaints from them, and that if they continued to use CPS as a form of harrassment, charges would be brought. It was kind of awesome to know CPS had my back, and that I wouldn't be bothered over bulls**t!

The only personal 'experience' I have really isn't anything at all..... My ex keeps telling the court that there is a CPS case against me yet I've never once been contacted by CPS... or anyone supporting his 'claims.'

I am happy for you that you have cleaned yourself up....that is harder than people imagine. My sister went through the same thing. I myself had a situation where my ex-mother-in-law called CPS out of spite (because we would no longer let our 6 year old son, her grandson, visit if we were not there due to hateful comments that she was making to him. Anyway, I had a series of emotions when they first came to my home. First, surprise, than fear (wondering if my kids would be taken away) and than anger, that the call was even made. The CPS worker looked through our home, made sure there was food in the cupboards, asked to see each of the boys' rooms, and then spoke with each boy without us present. After all that, she said that it was obvious that all was good and that the call was a mistake. I am a very good mom (not perfect, but, who is?) We do not physically discipline our boys, rather use time-outs, we keep a nice, clean home and our boys are happy and well-adjusted. For her to call was outrageous and I asked what could be done about people who report these things falsely. Her reply was that all calls will be checked out and that families such as ours will always "pass" their inspection and there will no longer be visits from CPS. Regardless, it is always scary to have an agency such as CPS, that has the power to take a child away from its family, to be in your life. I can only hope and pray that families, such as yours, that have been subjected to false reports by mean-spirited people will be able to pass their "inspections" with flying colors. It should be a comfort in knowing that you are a good mother and CPS involvement is not needed.
