Speaking as a former child that had their life ripped away by wrongful CPS treatment: my third grade teacher was my greatest ally. She listened to me when I was scared and having regular panic attacks. She let me stay in her classroom over lunch and recess when the other kids started teasing me. She acted like she genuinely believed the things I told her.

I went back and thanked her recently (over a decade later). Her help is the only thing I remember about that time any more.

My family was victimized by poor CPS judgement when a live in nurse made a false claim that my mother was beating myself and my special needs brother. We were both removed from her care because CPS (against physician information) decided my brother's medical issues were caused by my mother somehow injecting pneumonia bacteria into his lungs (sound farfetched?) . The one doctor backing up their claims sexuality abused me in her office... Which she denied and no one believed. Eventually we were returned to my mother's care (where we both flourished) and the previous case judge and social workers were forced to apologize for the trouble they caused my family. What happens to the social workers in these instances where they literally destroy a family instead of helping them?

And what happens when a false claim is made?
