[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think some of you know how CPS really works.  It does not operate with the ideal setting of "someone calls CPS because nanny smacked charge so hard she fell over and broke her arm.  There is only 1 witness to this (the one who called CPS).  Nanny and child both lie about what happened.  Cops believe the one witness, arrest nanny, and she's easily tried and convicted".  Rather it is more like. enough claims against a person or severe harm to a child will warrant something more thorough than a simple investigation.  I've lost count of how many children repeatedly show up in the ER with suspicion injuries and even classical abuse injuries.  And every single time I report it.  The only time a parent has ever been arrested after one report was when the child was brought to the ER in such a bad state that it was clear the father had abused and neglected the child over a long period of time.

To add, most prosecutors wouldn't even try someone who only had one CPS report unless it was a serious incident.  Too difficult to win and they will wait until there are enough incidences where it is beyond a reasonable doubt that that person is an abuser or neglectful, etc. [/quote]
