The ruling would be that it had already been investigated. You may only receive a phone call or you may receive nothing. CPS is legally obligated to investigate every report, even false ones.

Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Child Protective Services
CPS allegations and investigations carry the same weight as a criminal investigation, all the while you are supposed to "comply" and obey. They are not our friends or guardian angels they would like us to believe. They have chosen this profession out of all the ways to make a career. Do not treat them any other way than is professional and responsible.
She just did this because the 3rd time allows her to bring the police. Strange, I was home when the police came with her on her "3rd attempt". I have a neighbor who in my opinion, is a horrible parent.
CPS cannot force you to take a drug test
In many states, you can look up the laws and policies of your child welfare agency online. Sometimes we have a long talk with a reporter about making false allegations, the consequences for doing so, and the unnecessary stress they are placing on a child. Because she has told me that she is willing to drive down here and drop my kids off because she don't think that them been with the father is safe for them...... Before we begin, please remember that we are not lawyers or social workers. We are just well-intentioned researchers who have uncovered a lot of information.
You should always consult with a legal professional about your specific circumstances. You can find a free legal aid directory here. This comes as a shock to a lot of parents, but CPS can legally talk to your child alone. If the abuse allegations are quite serious, CPS may attempt to speak with your child before they talk to you. The department has displayed public licensing information on all DHS-licensed programs since 2010 on Licensing Information Lookup.
How Can CPS Help Me?
I moved back to cali from ok here in march and i came to go to school. I have never been homeless since my daughter has been alive. Well that changed in dec i have no blood family here. This relationship turned south he kicked me on the curb with my things and called the law on me.
In my particular county in my state, CPS hands over a booklet outlining the parents' rights when they see them for the first time. If you receive any written materials, you can ask for time to review them. You can contact or consult with an attorney. If it makes you feel more comfortable, do it.
If you’re not home when the CPS worker arrives, they will leave contact information so you can schedule another time to visit. A CPS investigation can last for up to 18 months! During this time, there are some things that CPS might attempt. If you’re unsure about the legality of how CPS is conducting an investigation, you can always call a lawyer to get legal advice on the situation. The summary of licensing reviews and investigations will be added to child care centers' profile page in late 2018 or early 2019.
Throughout the 18-month-long investigation, you have the right to an attorney. A qualified lawyer can help ensure your children are in the right hands, and nothing untrue or out of context is used against you. If a CPS social worker comes to your home for a visit and you’re unprepared, simply tell them that it’s not the best time. If you turn away a CPS worker because you feel unprepared, ask to schedule for another time.
That means that law enforcement are not allowed to arbitrarily burst into your home. Police should not randomly stop you on the street, either. Law enforcement needs to have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been or is being committed. In some cases, that belief allows officers to enter your home without a warrant and without your permission.

Resources for parents Explore a collection of guides, flyers, and other resources for parents who have children in the foster system.
And because I'm not doing a damn thing wrong, there's nothing they can do about it. XCmom maybe you need to be wrongfully accused and talked to like a dirty rag on the street. My husband and I have done nothing wrong and we are being treated like criminals.
Workers screen children for all types of abuse or neglect, regardless of the actual allegation. Investigators will ask questions about the allegation, but they will also ask broad, general questions about all types of abuse and neglect. If the allegation itself is false, but Mom and Dad are doing drugs in front of the child, the child is still at risk and CPS needs to know that. Do not tell me you guys don't work on "commission". There are enough money trails running from the fed to state to cps in every state that shows CPS gets HUGE payouts for "legally abducting" kids. On top of that, parents are forced to pay child support to CPS for "legally abducting" kids.
In fact, they are more likely to demand a drug test to be cleared of the allegation of drug use than to refuse to take one on principle. You can refuse on principle, and I've seen it happen. The way you react to being asked to take a drug test matters. If you refuse, you can be court-ordered to take one.
There are no costs for you to request your records. That said, you must still be an adult to request your records. When CPS receives a report or tip, it must first determine whether or not an investigation is needed. A caller does not have to be certain or have proof of abuse or neglect, however, reasonable suspicion is required. I have heard every reason for why parents do not want their child to be interviewed.
