Well I’d think this would obviously not go anywhere, given she doesn’t even see her dad. So I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

Oh also you should call cps and report THEM. How insane that their child first said her parents slapped them and then those parents had the gall to report you??

A child said her mom would slap her if she XYZ and my child said her dad did slap her for that. They are 12. My child was joking. She has never been slapped by her dad. She has never even lived with her dad she hasn't even seen her dad since she was 5. Since there's no contact info for her dad, they reported me (mom).



I would immediately cut off contact with that family, those are not your or her friends.

I had something similar happen. Not sure what others are saying, but I think CPS has to investigate any report. Ours was closed quickly. For the record, no bruises or marks on my child either and my child is and has never been hit.

What will COS do? They’ll see your child has no contact with her dad. They’ll ask her questions. They’ll ask you questions. They’ll find dad and ask him questions. It’ll be over.


They will not find dad.

This is not cps worthy.

This. They won't investigate if there are no visible marks or injuries.

If a mandatory reporter, this needs to be called in. Don't blame them for this. Talk to your daughter. You will likely have a series of phone calls with CPS.

Cps isn’t going to do anything if there are no marks or bruises or something bigger. Who reported it? Just tell them what you told us.
