Were you found guilty of unsubstantiated neglect?[/quote]

Nobody has been found guilty of unsubstantiated neglect. I don't even know how such a thing would be possible.

What actually happened: CPS made a finding of unsubstantiated neglect. And in case you (like me) wonder what on earth that means in plain English, here is what it means:

B. Unsubstantiated Child Neglect. 
(1) A finding of unsubstantiated child neglect is appropriate if there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of indicated child neglect as described in §A of this regulation or ruled out child neglect as described in §C of this regulation. 
(2) A finding of unsubstantiated child neglect may, but need not, be based on the following: 
(a) Insufficient evidence that the individual alleged to be responsible for the child neglect was a parent or caretaker; 
(b) Insufficient evidence of a failure to provide proper care and attention; 
(c) Lack of a credible account by the suspected victim or a witness; 
(d) Insufficient evidence that the child's health or welfare was harmed or was at substantial risk of being harmed; or 
(e) An inability to complete the investigation due to such factors as not having access to the child or the individual alleged to be responsible for the child abuse or other relevant facts regarding the alleged child neglect.
