I am posting this in the Nanny forum since I am a regular on here and sometimes when nannies complain about a messy house or something else, a lot of times the responses are to tell CPS.

Many state that you can report a family without them losing their children into foster care. They state that CPS will probably talk to the parents and ask them to simply make the requested changes.

I have always been anti calling CPS, unless there is serious abuse or neglect going on. I think it is important not to abuse our resources because they need to continue being available to those that really need them.

Anyway, remember any time you call CPS, even with the best intentions for the kids...There will [b]always[/b] be that risk that the child(ren) may be put into foster care. [i]Always.[/i]

So please consider this when and if you do report a family.

I think CPS overreacted in this case. While not a smart thing on the mother's part, a chastising would have done. Not putting a four yr. old in foster care, away from him mother.[/quote]
