Therapist filed report with CPS, should I inform husband?

[Anonymous]

Once CPS is investigating, you are at just as much risk for failure to protect. Either you think he's abusive and should leave or you don't think he's abusive and you should discuss what's going on.

I've been speaking to a therapist about marital and parenting problems hoping to get advice on how to improve things. What's frustrating is I'm not sure its helping and now I'm in a tough spot. My husband and I do not agree on how to discipline our child. He feels his way works but I feel like it's a bit severe. Now CPS is getting involved and I'm terrified.

Is yelling a trigger to report to CPS? Or is there more to the story?

Is yelling seriously CPS-worthy?

It isn’t. There must be more to the story.

Sounds like ditching the husband would be more appropriate if he’s committing reportable acts.

Therapist has a right and duty to report, but she broke patient confidence. I would never again trust him/her.

Wrong they are mandatory reporters whatever OP told them is fair game in that instance

Team kids over these two dumbass crappy parents.

This has to be fake. No therapist is going to call CPS over yelling. CPS will not come out to even check on someone yelling at a child.

I am a therapist and we have an ethical code as mandated reporters. And I would only report if I had legitimate concerns about the safety and well-being of a minor or elderly person.

When a call is placed half the time cps doesn’t follow up bc they are overwhelmed by reports. Who knows if they will even investigate this report AND let this serve as notice about how serious what is happening in your house with your spouse is. You need to protect yourself and your child. Seriously. Telling your spouse may help him understand the seriousness of his behavior too.

No point in getting a new therapist. If you did I'm sure you wouldn't tell them the same stuff and then you would be trying to improve the situation without actually telling the therapist what the situation is.

The therapist you have sounds like a good one to me.

This has to be a troll post.

I’m a mandated reporter (principal in an an elementary school), and call CPS regularly when I suspect abuse. It’s not my job to investigate or determine if it’s actually happening. That is CPS’s job. I’ve made plenty of calls that are NOT “screened out,” meaning it’s not assigned to a case worker and investigated.

The therapist may very well have called because of yelling and threats made to the children and because they suspect either abuse or neglect or both. Who knows. CPS is not going to investigate every call. But the therapist has to call if they suspect abuse and/or neglect.

Don’t tell him.
