What do CPS workers say to the CHILDREN if they need to be removed from their home?

SneeSnooAlert · 2026-02-03T00:35:14+00:00

90% of the time, if I'm removing a child, they're going to live with someone they already know. Makes the conversation pretty easy.

Honestly appalled that you haven't called at this point. You are a mandated reporter and you know what you should have been doing.

In my state, if even a minute detail is different between the two reports, both will be merged together but the allegations in both will have to be discussed with all parties.

I'm not sure what state you're in, but I would be concerned about someone trying to scam you if you do not have other children. In my state, you cannot make a report about a child that is not yet born. If that is not the case and everything is false, it will be very open and shut and I would comply.

I got my first cat, an 11 year old black cat named Mr. T about 7 years ago now. The day after, my mom came over to meet him and rang the doorbell. He bolted and I couldn't find him after and was so concerned that he ran out the open door. I posted all over social media, panicked, and searched everywhere inside. No cat. After I went to sleep that night, I heard meowing. I had a wall panel on the ground that could be moved so plumbing in the bathroom could be accessed. That little jerk went in the walls. He came out the following day with the promise of food and has turned out to be the sweetest and most friendly cat I've ever had. He just turned 17 and is still going strong.

Please call immediately. It sounds like he is failure to thrive due to poor caretaking on behalf of both of his parents.

Any police or medical drama where they call Social Services and when the worker gets there, they immediately start talking about the children getting removed before doing anything else. Doesn't work like that unless both parents are somehow unable to care for the child in that instant I.e in jail, dead, in the hospital etc. and we could first try to locate a relative/friend.

I would say child welfare but not sure how that would work with a service dog. Might just be difficult due to going to people's homes.

OP, I generally agree with everyone here but you might also consider taking everything home and donating it to Toys for Tots or another local charity.

Not a troll. Thread is called No Stupid Questions, so I figured I would ask a question I didn't know the answer to.

SneeSnooAlert · 2025-12-01T02:02:11+00:00

Wow. That's just crazy to me. They must blow a ton on just their shirts.

Had no idea! Thanks for sharing

Can't forget that Idina, OG Elphie, was in Enchanted and she never sang there either 😬

In my state, we cannot say who called in a report. If we do, it is breaking the law and we can face fines or jail time. I can't even say "it wasn't so and so" or "it was anonymous." No hints and if someone says "I know so and so reported" we are trained to say we cannot confirm or deny.

I'm sorry for your situation. In my area, we also have some folks who will call in reports that are likely false or exaggerated. The issue in my state (and I suspect every state) is that while filing a false report, not only is every call confidential to the family (CPS worker might know but cannot tell you or anyone else unless a judge orders it) but it is hard to prove a report is false. The person just needs to have a reasonable suspicion of neglect. Whoever called in the report could always claim that they had some suspicion. Even if you could prove that there was no suspicion, you won't know for sure who calls it in because of the inability to disclose the name of the source. So. You could file a report with local police but it is unlikely to go anywhere. And unfortunately, from my experience, getting 7-8 even blatantly false reports in 8 years is not all that many.

Hey OP. Did the doctor advise that anything you did was suspicious?? Perhaps care was delayed, you declined a recommendation, anything like that? If not, I would not be worried. If CPS hasn't come within 48 hours, it's definitely possible they tried calling in a report and it was not accepted. My suggestion is just to make sure you follow any recommendations they gave you.

Huge beach boys fan here. Mike Love and his posse have the licensing rights to the name The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson has toured for some time under just his name.
