Can i sue the hospital for reporting false information to children and youth services that our son tested positive for drugs when a drug screen was never conducted? Thus causing my husband to lose his job because he had to supervise me with our children until investigation was complete, Also we recieved a letter from CYS stating they recieved a report that the baby tested positive, we also recieved confirmation from hospital records department that no drug screen was done. How can i test negative but a baby test positive especially without a test?

There is nothing in OP's post to indicate any fault on the part of the mandated reporter. Just because CYS may have cleared the party due to the lack of a lab report, doesn't mean there were not valid reasons to make the report they were just lucky to get off on a technicality. OP should take it as a wakeup call and take care of what ever is the basis of this event.
