Yes, and all of this supposedly happened on the same day—he had a session, the incident was reported, the police went to the wrong house, the call from the wrong house came, then the police (not CPS) showed up. I don’t buy it.

I don’t know how to prove it is true but why would I lie?

But yeah I shouldn’t hit or yell.
Screentime it is from now on.

Scteentime makes anger issues worse

Just bc he has anger issues doesn’t mean he isn’t a victim of abuse. Many Abuse victims have anger issues

This won’t seem suspicious at all.

I know it does.
Thing is, I don’t want police coming to investigate slapping, and having to explain this to my kid isn’t fun. He is spoiled rotten. Hurling things across the room and cussing because of a pinched finger? I know I should have just taken the screen away from him for a week. Will do better next time.

NP. It actually sounds like your son has anger issues just like you. How can you blame him.

So you relieve stress by hitting g your son on the side of the head. I wonder whay the counselor reported you.

Why would I make this up??
I am not in DC though, maybe here it is a different protocol.

This has to be made up. The police don't go out for light slapping/no marks. CPS might investigate but not the police.

They thought she was you.. once the cat was out of the bag, they couldn’t put it back in. Nothing you can do about it.

Go to anger management classes. You can probably find resources through the school or through the closest public library. You are human. You and your son will get through this as long as you are willing to do what it take to learn how to deal with the stress and anger the right way.

Allow him to continue counseling alone. Be there for him when he is home, too.

This is all they told me- slapping- and this is all there was! Well maybe yelling is more dangerous!

As for the name confusion, I am mad because they basically told her what the issue was (CPS) and my son’s name. Wtf?!! She was able to identify me thru a mutual acquaintance so now they all know SOMETHING.

I am honestly surprised that CPS bothered. I've reported a child's statements before that claimed worse than a slap and their attitude was basically, if there was no visible injury then they'll write it down and maybe get around to it eventually. If CPS showed up at your door so fast I'm wondering if that's all the report was, or if your son (or someone else) said something beyond that. They are stretched thin.

Wouldn’t it look suspicious if I don’t let him go to counseling? Like I am hiding something?
The officers told me they were asked by the CPS to investigate.

You are hiding something. Abuse.
