You'd think the police would investigate the person making the claims for wasting police time...
They would only be forced to if she filed a lawsuit against the anonymous caller. People have done that before.
in my experience those parents usually are Mentally abusing their family
neighbors are just trying thdir best to help. Even by lying 🤥
"Dang crazy lady next doot who yells at her children all day is SOBER wow" must have been the neighbors thought 💭
Quite possible, but I've also seen genuine bullying this way too.
If that was somehow the case, the neighbor sucks at what they're trying to do.
Then you actually make a report for that instead of crying wolf.
They don’t care.
too lazy and/or too stupid
Would you risk it if a child is involved? I'm not saying your wrong. But it's worth noting that they are there for the the thousands of children that are being abused. Which still happens and people brush anything under the carpet.
Risk what exactly in this case of more than two dozens of checks having been performed? Her file is probably thicker than a hand and some of ACS workers should know it by heart by this time.
You don't want to hear it but there are those out there that can get through the system a shocking amount of times. But sure. Keep voting me down for answering the why that the OP asked.
Okay, demanding downvotes earns downvotes! It is written.
100% bet that GladiusB is the kind of person who uses CPS to harass other people, and thats why they are so hot and upset over people saying the system shouldnt be abused for personal vendetta and grudges.
I standby what I said. Lol
100 times out of a 100 they will check in on a child.
All the resources being wasted to harass a woman that is properly raising her child and has never had one negative thing found against her in the dozen+ investigations, are resources not going to actual victims, to save actually at risk children.
So YOU are risking childrens lives by encouraging and accepting the ridiculous harassment campaign against this one person.
No. I am a parent and understand the system. YOU don't know anything other than being a Karen.
Ah yes, I am the doing the most reknown Karen thing of.. saying people should stop being undeservingly harassed and abused.
You know, Like Karens are famous for doing.
You're doing it me for understanding that they are checking in on a child and all I am saying is I understand why. So, yea. Pretty much a Karen.
In no form or way have I justified being harassed or the fuck twits behavior. I'm saying the child matters. You dense little neanderthal.
You're not justifying it, you're just implying that someone who has cleared a dozen+ investigations must be a monster who is getting lucky and getting away with it.
I am in no way implying that. I am stating that I understand why they check on a child. Are you sure you are old enough to be on a keyboard? I'm getting strong 12 year old vibes here.
There is no single way to know that a child is safe without checking in on them. There is not a single person I have met in the system that would just be like "Oh. It's just a prank." I have personally been involved in it as a child and a parent. CPS does not just look at it and say Iit's ok. It's the 100th time". And once again, for the 6th time.
That is my only point.
Ah the heady scent of goalpost shifting.
Read what I wrote before. The goal post never changed. You just can't comprehend.
I've read what you wrote.
You're absolutely furious over someone trying to stop CPS being used as a terror tool against them because some anonymous persons grudge.
Like, to a really disturbed degree.
Like, to the degree that you sound like you are the person that has the grudge against the woman in the news story, and are furious that people are against what you're doing.
All while trying to insinuate that being cleared in dozen+ investigations doesnt mean the woman in the news story is innocent.
As a disinterested third party, you're either an idiot or arguing in bad faith.
Well good thing for you I don't care what your hot take is and I know I'm right. So, go bother someone who cares what you think.
Thats totally the reply of someone that doesnt care.
If it was one call, I'd agree with you. Better to check it out and find out it was wrong than to not check it and miss abuse. Maybe this can excuse the second and third call as well. But when you get to the 24th time, maybe the agency should be questioning whether this is a person trying to use their agency to harass the person. (The CPS version of Swatting.)
They should refer this matter to the police and have them investigate who is making these calls. Not only were they harassing a family that they've checked multiple times, but they are both diverting resources away from actual abuse cases and are causing the abuse that they claim to want to stop.
I am all for getting the swatter. I am in no way justifying anything he is doing.
I am and have been saying I understand why CPS has to take every call seriously. If they have enough information to make it seem credible, they can't put the child's life in harms way.
That is all I have been saying since my first response.
Trust me, searching childrens bodies is actually traumatizing and is abuse.
When did I ever say search a child's body?
Its in the article
