@999forever This is a really shitty situation and I’m so sorry you’re having to go through it. In the end everything is very likely to turn out fine. But that doesn’t make it any easier today.
It’s very hard to be falsely accused. I have been also. CPS came several times. The first time I was at work while the kids were with a sitter and they wanted to interview my 6 year old without me present (the concerns were related to my 12 yr old at the time). I was so mad they would have a sensitive convo with my confused kid without me present — but I also knew saying no would look like I had something to hide so I allowed them.
It’s a very humbling experience. I’d suggest cooperating and trying to just get through it at this point. Unfortunately the more you protest the more they get suspicious. Do whatever tests they want and convey that you have nothing to hide and want to ensure your baby is ok.
Now, I’ll also add that if they start to escalate even while you’re cooperating, it may be lawyer time. Every CPS dept and worker is different and there are some that go way too far. But if they’re just running tests to confirm baby is ok, I’d cooperate with that.
In my case the CPS worker pretty quickly determined there was no merit to the allegations and we had a few follow up visits and then the case was cleared.
Sending you hugs. You’re going to get through this. And remember if a baby was being abused you’d want them to be extra vigilant and catch it to protect that child.
