The allegations against L.B., made by an anonymous caller at 4:45 a.m. that day, were false. These included that she was a stripper (she worked at a home for people with disabilities); that she used drugs (none were found, and a drug test was negative for all substances); and that an abusive man lived with her and that she owned “machine guns” (after an exhaustive search and interrogation, both claims were deemed baseless).
In fact, L.B. has never been found to have committed any type of child maltreatment, ACS and court records show.
Yet the anonymous caller, whom L.B. believes to be a former acquaintance with a grudge, has continued to dial in to New York’s state child welfare hotline. Each time, this person or possibly people make outlandish, often already-disproven claims about her, seeming to know that doing so will automatically trigger a government intrusion into her domestic life.
And ACS obliges: Over the past three years, the agency either has inspected her home or examined and questioned her son at school more than two dozen times. Caseworkers have sought a warrant for only three of these searches, most recently in August. All of those requests have been rejected by judges, according to court records.
No. I am a parent and understand the system. YOU don’t know anything other than being a Karen.
Ah yes, I am the doing the most reknown Karen thing of… saying people should stop being undeservingly harassed and abused.
You know, Like Karens are famous for doing.
You’re doing it me for understanding that they are checking in on a child and all I am saying is I understand why. So, yea. Pretty much a Karen.
In no form or way have I justified being harassed or the fuck twits behavior. I’m saying the child matters. You dense little neanderthal.
You’re not justifying it, you’re just implying that someone who has cleared a dozen+ investigations must be a monster who is getting lucky and getting away with it.
I am in no way implying that. I am stating that I understand why they check on a child. Are you sure you are old enough to be on a keyboard? I’m getting strong 12 year old vibes here.
There is no single way to know that a child is safe without checking in on them. There is not a single person I have met in the system that would just be like “Oh. It’s just a prank.” I have personally been involved in it as a child and a parent. CPS does not just look at it and say Iit’s ok. It’s the 100th time". And once again, for the 6th time.
That is my only point.
Ah the heady scent of goalpost shifting.
Read what I wrote before. The goal post never changed. You just can’t comprehend.
I’ve read what you wrote.
You’re absolutely furious over someone trying to stop CPS being used as a terror tool against them because some anonymous persons grudge.
Like, to a really disturbed degree.
Like, to the degree that you sound like you are the person that has the grudge against the woman in the news story, and are furious that people are against what you’re doing.
All while trying to insinuate that being cleared in dozen+ investigations doesnt mean the woman in the news story is innocent.
As a disinterested third party, you’re either an idiot or arguing in bad faith.
Well good thing for you I don’t care what your hot take is and I know I’m right. So, go bother someone who cares what you think.
Thats totally the reply of someone that doesnt care.
