What to Do you think?  Family is investigated once, result is "unsubstantiated neglect". Which essentially means "some evidence of neglect but it's not clear".  Then another report happens.  Do you think they're obligated to investigate?  Of course they are.  [/quote]

If there were evidence, it would be substantiated neglect. "Unsubstantiated" means "there is no evidence". Unless CPS uses its own definitions of words?[/quote]

No that's not what that means.   You can look it up.  Of course there was evidence of neglect.  The fact that they were alone a mile from home was SOME evidence.  Just inconclusive evidence.   Just not enough evidence to prove neglect.  [/quote]

unsubstantiated = not established as valid or genuine   ? unsubstantiated allegations

What definition does CPS use?

And no, merely being a mile away from home does not constitute neglect.[/quote]

Legal definitions often differ from dictionary definitions, you're clearly not a lawyer. And no one said that being a mile away from home constituted neglect. They said it constituted evidence of neglect. I think you don't understand what evidence means.[/quote]
