What is the name of your state? Ohio
I'm not sure this is the right section to post this so please advise me if there is somewhere more appropriate.
I am writing to ask a question for my daughter. Is there a way to stop fictious reports that are being made against her to Childrens Services?
History: My daughter has a 5 month old Daughter. She is married to the biological Father. For the last 2 months she has had a visit from CPS at least once a week and sometimes twice a week. The CPS worker says they are checking up on an anonymous call for anything from: unhealthy and unsafe living conditions to neglect (physical and medical), abuse (physical and sexual). The workers have never found anything wrong.
This is getting really old. The baby is seen by her Dr. regularly and my daughter has encouraged them to speak with Dr. The workers say their hands are tyed. They are required by law to follow up on the call. They have stated they can not release the name of the caller even if they know it. It is to the point my daughter just tells them "See ya next week." When they leave. They appear to be as tired of it as she is. They don't even check anything anymore. They just hold and coo to the baby.
My daughter is 99.9% sure it is her Mother-In-Law calling because it started right after she refused them unsupervised visits with the baby, but she has no legal proof.
When does this step over the line into harassment? Does she ever have the right to face her accuser in this type of situation? Doesn't CPS have anything in place to keep them from being used as a tool in a family battle? Something like filing a false police report? I'm sure there is some child in this county who is need of their services while they are being bogged down with this mess.
Thank you for any help you can give me in making this go away.
