We had a CPS (children and family services) investigation

So far nothing has come of it, but after dd was in the hospital for her concussion, Children and Family services showed up at my door. We answered everything truthfully as best we could. She got bm's address because she wanted to interview ss about what happened. Bm went all over social media slamming us and telling the world our business and how dare we involve her home in it. It was her damn son that was involved with dd getting hurt. To refresh memories, she bit him and due to his reaction, she hit her head causing a concussion. They said they would send us something in the mail but we haven't gotten anything. So my questions are, will they send us something and will bm get something since they also went to her house? Will dd's information be on anything bm receives?
On another note, the social worker focused on ss and the issues he has had with the bully (the stabbing) and now with how he reacted with sd. Is it possible they would find him at fault and then what happens?
By the way the bully lived but he is still in rehab, he has a traumatic brain injury from what I hear, and no charges have been pressed on the other kids.

I don't know what will come of it, but what I do know is that it is sad how many social workers you see in the pediatric ER. When my YSD was taken there with a sports injury almost every other family there was being interviewed at some point.

Who is the BULLY that has traumatic brain injury? BM's boyfriend?

TWO things I would like to bring up. Hope you do not mind.

IF you currently have a family attorney he/she may call cps for you, to stick out feelers on this case,,, it would not hurt to have your lawyer make that call.

OP, if your ss pushed, knocked your daughter over and she got a concussion it must have been a darn hard push. YOUR DUTY is to protect your child. Yeah I understand accidents happen all the time, but to have a concussion is serious. Not like 15 years ago when it was a badge of honor on the football field.

Forgive my ignorance here about your history, but is this the first time your ss hurt dd? IF Not, tell dh NOT AGAIN, your ss will not come into the home again.

Safety IS a factor IF this is not the first accident involving ss and dd.... and if you can not protect your daughter cps will likely take this further to protect your dd.

Sad

PLEASE keep us posted.

PS the next time IF there is a next time cps wants to chit chat....have your lawyer present.

You are not required to allow them into your home without a warrant.

Everything you say will be used in their report to build their case.

DFAS (CPS) has been called to BM's house 3 times over the past 12 years. Each time they also visit our home, but we never get anything in the mail with regards to the findings or when it is closed.
