No. [b]I have no fear of CPS coming to my door. [/b]But, if I had a run in with CPS and it was a real fear of mine I would be more vigilant. The parents said, they were afraid something like this was going to happen. (Though I think they hoped something would happen because they are attention seekers.)

It's like your first DWI is a freebie... the 2nd time... not so much![/quote]

You should, though. Every rational parent should.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous.  No they shouldn't.  Has it ever happened to you? Or even anyone you know?  Stop making stuff up. [/quote]

Not that poster, but, um, yeah.  My nuts, drunk neighbor reported us to CPS for educational neglect.  Mind you, she'd seen our kid leave for school, in uniform, and had never had a conversation with us or anyone we know on the subject.  And mind you, our kid reads at a college level and is at least a grade ahead in every subject.  And she's healthy and well fed, and we don't hit ever and can count yellings on one hand.  So the allegation was based on some nuts/drunk fabrication I can only imagine.  And we still had to deal with this stressful, intrusive process that made our kid feel all weird and self-conscious.  It's wasn't great.  It wasn't CPS's fault, but it really, really wasn't great.  [/quote]

So you think CPS did the wrong thing?  Should they ignore the neighbor?  Because they should just magically know the neighbors a nut without investigating?  Interesting theory. [/quote]
