I have to say , that I did not like how this felt at all . Long story short, I got reported , most likely by my 5 year olds teachers .
CYS called me, and wanted to come out and make sure my home is a safe environment for my children to live in .
Im sure those ladies look at me and think I live in a dilapidated trailer in a junkyard somewhere .
Fortunately for me, I keep a clean , warm home, stocked with food. Both kids have nice rooms and clean laundry to wear .
Educators are required by law to report anything they see as possible abuse or neglect . My 5 year old little guy started pooping his pants last week, and I did not catch it right away because be basically dresses himself . He had a big rash on his arse by the time I caught it .
I was already aware of it and had been soaking him in the tub and putting lotion on him nightly .
I guess he had an accident at school and when they saw that , they had to report .
So this then triggers the gestapo to come out and put my home life under a
microscope . I hated the whole experience . I have nothing but distrust and disdain for government .
I looked up the stats. Last year, there were 46,000 cases reported to cys in Pa. Out of that , approx 5 k were substantiated .
I am all about children having safe home spaces to live . I have no problem with this, but it really seems like a system ripe for abuse in a divorce situation or grudge with a neighbor etc ..
In my case, there was no report filed. He was satisfied with the conditions of my home, and explained to me that once someone is reported he is mandated to investigate . I did not have to comply but they can get a court order if i refused
