Got a visit from Child Welfare services last Friday.
My wife and I both work evenings. When we arrived home from work Friday night, there was a letter on the door saying that Child welfare URGENTLY needed to meet with us. This was extremely odd. We have one son, that is 2 1/2 years old, and I consider him to be taken care of very well. I immediately went into panic mode, as I assume a lot of parents would. I do spank the kid when necessary and use time out with it. Never hard spankings, though. Just enough to get the message through.
So, I ask my wife if he's had any weird bruises(I assume all young kids get a lot of bruises because kids are a bit reckless on their own). She say no. I next start to worry if some random weirdo driving by didn't like something I was doing in the yard with the kid. Our driveway is off of a highway, but the house sits back about 200 yards. He is outside working with me a lot. He loves riding the mower, so we do that quite often. Sometimes it's spur of the moment, so he's not always wearing his ear protection. We also check the mail with the mower which requires driving right up to the highway. I always make sure there's not even any cars in sight though, so that there's no danger. Anyways, I started nit picking stuff like that to see if there was any way some random asshole reported us as they drove by. I also worried that maybe the babysitter was under investigation. Maybe he was being harmed there. Lots of crazy shit went through my head. Like I said, we got this notice on Friday night. Their offices are closed until Monday. We were left to worry about this all weekend. I called them first thing this morning. The lady who left the note was out in the field, and she didn't call back until 1:30 this afternoon. She casually explained to me that they put the notice on the wrong house. I was relieved and pissed off all at the same time. I calmly explained to her the worry that note caused and that maybe they should create a policy of not leaving those kinds of notes on the doors of people on Friday afternoons if they have yet to have any initial contact with those people. If it's someone who already knows there is an investigation going, then fine, leave a notice if you want. But leaving us that note left us on the dark and worrying for 72 hours. Am I crazy for suggesting that? |

Our daughter was in 1st or 2nd grade, can't remember.
She had a bruise on her arm that none of us knew where she got. She showed it to me & I asked her if it hurt. She adamantly said NO. So being the ornery person I am I pushed on it a little & asked if it hurt now. ![]() Anyhoots she went to school & in the process of telling her teacher it was understood that I was responsible. It wasn't long & we got the dreaded call from Child Protective Services. Embarrassed & pissed at the same time. She laughed it off & I learned a valuable lesson. _________________________________________ I'm a worry wart anyways so if I got a letter on a Friday afternoon, I'd be a nutcase by Sunday. That's messed up. I feel you were in the right to say what you did...absolutely. ![]()

Side note: through this situation, I found out my mom had been reported for abuse twice while my sister and I were very young. It was by her ex - husband though and the cases went nowhere. |

Thankfully the doctor continued to ask questions as to how/why and such and it was funny after that. Right after the question though, it was certainly a "Oh shit" moment. |

Sounds like you are a little whiner, whining about nothing. Be a man and laugh it off.

And like I said, I calmly explained it to the lady. It wasn't in a whiney tone or full of rage. |

As soon as they informed you of their mistake, you should have been slugging back a beer whilst your woman pleasured you orally. Instead you turned into a woman. |

I wouldn't have been very calm about saying something similar to her.

Luckily enough for us, Clay will never have the opportunity to procreate. So he will never understand what being a parent is. but on the bright side, we don't have to worry about him spreading his stupidity further. win some lose some.
