They had been having problems in school and cant get along, but instead of having this resolved in school, she threatened me and my daughter with violence in which I called the police. Now everytime her daughter comes home and says lies that my kids are talking to her daughter she calls the police. Its been twice and twice cps came. When cps came they said we beat our kids and we let our 6 year old watch hardcore porn, I cried. What malicious lies spread and the cps worker has seen nothing when she came and interviewed my kids. I feel harrased and cps and police both said theres nothing i can do about it. There should be a law that has to get your legal name and address which should be verified before a person is investigated. Per the cps lady she said call my legislator. I'm glad things worked out for you... I really understand what you went through because I have been having problems with my neighbor who lives two houses down and our kids used to be friends.

We we duly investigated and my step daughter had to go and get a physical exam and an HIV test ( something a 13 year old should never have to do) all because the teachers daughter overheard the kids talking about something unrelated and relayed the story, what is also very funny is that a week before my step daughter was over at that teachers house for a halloween party with some friends and her daughter and they actually conversed, but apparently all this happened a week later when we had a house full of people! My step-daughter is a diabetic and sees the school nurse every single day for her medication, if there was something up ( burns cuts etc as the accusations had implied) the nurse would have seen instantly. The teacher had lied on the initial report to the CPS and said she had confirmed all this with my step daughter in person when she never even spoke to her on the day she made the report ( she later stated she had confirmend it though HER daughter and cited her as a reliable source!) It is very upsetting to be even accused of something like that let alone go through an investigation, luckily the CPS were VERY professional in their execution of the investigation and all accusations were unfounded, as we knew they would be. It often gets you thinking about the horror stories though, what if the CPS had not done their job correctly I could have gone to jail, lost my job, been labled as a sexual predator and torn my family apart, there are no reprucassions for this type of report, for the reporter and they are fully protected by law.
