An unwarranted and completely false accusation was made against my family to CPS, and now we have someone who wants to question my family. I have 5 wonderful children, and the very thought of someone threatening my ability to be around them is absolutely terrifying. We have never had any issues, and we have many friends and family that can account for how we treat our children. This whole thing has turned our lives upside down just thinking about it. I need your prayers for strength and peace and for blessed and good results to get this agency out of our lives quickly. Thank you.

Hi there. Prayers for you, of course. But this:
I have been down this road..my husband and I raised a blended family of 8 kids. At one point early on, my ex husband (pedophile, wife beater, general bad dude) had got his rather ultra-churchy mother on board to make ridiculous accusations against my present husband involving one of my youngest daughters, totally unfounded. In the end we were ok, cops came, as did cps, checked the kids, their bodies for marks and general health, separated them all for questioning, and checked on the safety of our house, including pets. We had shot records, we had witnesses. But the most important witnesses are the children. Be honest with your kids, and demand their honesty. Explain to your kids the importance of what could happen if they "tell stories", as kids do. The other most important witnesses are you and your spouse. You're nervous. I know. But remember to STAND IN YOUR TRUTH. If you are good parents, any state official worth a shit will see that. Clean house. Well cared for pets. Food in the fridge. Safety. Kids who love their family.
Togetherness. You're a team. Impress that upon everybody you all see. They won't break up a known team. They're trained to find the truth, and they are very used to receiving and sniffing out bullshit accusations. Don't be surprised if they want a follow-up visit. Head on a swivel. But lose the nerves, or you won't think properly. You've got this.
