My kid was burned on her leg by a firecracker that someone's delinquent kid was setting off in a restricted area on the 4th of July. I rushed her to the hospital and I was reported because the burns looked like cigarette burns. I had CPS crammed up my ass after that. They eventually said they closed the case and finally left me alone. It was an awful couple of months.
Yet my aunt's kids were constantly riddled with lice and lived in a house with a dirt floor and couldn't get food stamps because my aunt had been caught selling them for cigarettes and alcohol. Every time CPS was sent to her house, she'd just take the kids and stay with relatives for a while. They'd give up looking for her until the next time someone reported her for neglect. The kids rarely went to school and she didn't make them go.
My questions are thus: Could I have just told the social worker that was harassing me to fuck off? What would have happened if I just ignored the scheduled visits? Was my aunt just lucky all those times? What would have happened to her if she was ever actually caught?
I don't mean to sound bitter. But when I was treated like a piece of shit over an honest accident and my aunt let her kids walk around with their teeth rotting out of their head, one has to wonder what is wrong with the system?
