My (now ex) girlfriend, my school's principal and guidance counselor, and friends of the family had all routinely been calling the CPS office in our area, to no avail. When the principal called, they told him that the "descriptions of the abuse were not serious enough" and when she called herself, the woman on the phone told her to quit exaggerating. CPS never once investigated the household, never once talked to her 11 year-old or 8 year-old siblings, or anything else.
Eventually she gave up, and now she's taken to doing drugs and drinking. So my question is: What constitutes "serious enough abuse"? And what kinds of things do you guys usually do to investigate these kinds of incidences? Please tell me that this kind of thing isn't common.
