BM of my SS7 had CPS called on her by the teacher at school a few weeks ago b/c SS7 told her he was being abused. DH and I aren't quite sure we are getting the full story from BM. She's saying SS7 was making up lies to his teacher and she had to call CPS b/c he said his SF hit him. He then recanted when CPS came..this is what BM is telling us. This isn't the first time she's had them called on her. DH wants to know the whole story..does anyone know if he can ask the teacher or call CPS to find out what happened? he's worried SS7 is being neglected at home since he his having behavioral issues. BM complains how he doesn't listen, etc. When he comes to our house he is happy and tells us he hates living with his BM b/c his SF is mean to him and his mom doesn't pay attention to him. Granted he's a kid and kid's say what they want but when you pair it with his behavioral issues, the fact that BM has 2 other kids (one is 1 1/2 and the other is a newborn), plus he has a new SF...it makes us wonder what is really going on. SS7 even told us that when he gets older he wants to live with us and asked me if I'd be him mom then.

If your dh is a legal custodian, cps should give you a report with their findings.

I believe they have joint custody with her being the parent of primary residence. Apparently this isnt her first run in with CPS.

I agree with Cruella. DH needs to do anything and everything to find out the truth. He is still SS parent. Schools, doctors, CPS can not withhold information to a bioparent. And I also advise you or your DH to document all of this. Names, Dates etc. You never know when that might come in handy.

Parent, It's a verb, not a noun.

Thanks...I will definitely tell him to contact the teacher, etc and we will document it. We are going to try for custody at some point but we want to know the full extent of the CPS issue to see if it's something we need to push for now before the courts will recognize where my SS would prefer to live.
