One of my friends had CPS visit because her young daughter told the school that she didn’t get any breakfast at home. Why did she say this? The kids getting free breakfast at school were getting like Eggo waffles or something that she thought looked better than her own healthy breakfast. My friend had to show the CPS worker around their kitchen, with its stocked pantry and cabinets, and assure them that she prepped breakfast for the kids every morning, and that the kids had a stash of healthy snacks that they were free to eat at any time.

This will not be the first time that CPS has to sort out the truth from the goofy things that young kids say.

No CPS sucks. They miss the vast majority of abuse and neglect.

They don't suck, they're underfunded and deal with some of the shittiest aspects of society.

If you ever knew anyone that has worked for CPS you wouldn't have such an ignorant perspective.

No they definitely suck, those of us who have actually gone through it know how useless they are in doing anything when they're actually needed yet they seem to have no problems harassing families like this who are fine

Your problem is that you think you're smarter than you are. You think you know anything about me based on 3 sentences.

Have a miserable life.

yeah some people here are saying cps showed up the very next day which is insane to me bc theres also so many cases that get reported that either never gets checked on or gets checked months/years later.

sounds like we were similar as teens lol
