Charges for assault?
Me and my stepdad got in an argument and i called my friend and told her what happened. So she called the police and said that he beat me. (Which he didnt) So the cops came to my house and questioned me and my mom and when they knew the truth they left. But my mom has been in the childcare buisness for 20 years and she said that this isnt over and that child protection service could pick me up. Is this true? Even after the police knew that he didnt hit me could they still come back? Please help.
Answers:
It is possible that DCFS (Department of Child and Family Services) will conduct their own investigation to insure their is no acts of abuse occurring within your household. If this happens DCFS may also contact your teachers/principle and tell them to keep an eye on you and report any physical or psychological signs of abuse. False accusations of abuse, rape, etc is no joke. It can damage the lives and reputation of both the accused and the accuser. If an investigation is initialized, you will probably be contacted within 24 hours. But I doubt they will take you away if they can't find any signs of abuse.
For details, Google DCFS and the state you live in.
Yo momma is tring to scare you. Dont worry!!!
They will check into it. They don't know if you were just coerced into saying that he didn't hit you. Don't be so dramatic on the phone with your friends next time. You could get thrown into foster care and your Mom could lose her childcare business over this.
Not only could it cause problems with your moms business your friend could be in trouble for filing a false report.
I don't think child protection service will come to your house. There has to be a complaint filed with them, either through an anonymous source or the police, and if the police found no wrongdoing when they came over, they won't report that. I wouldn't worry about it :)
lodge police report.
I'm not sure what state you are in, but I live in New York and work for the Police Dept. here. And at least here, something like that would certainly not warrant a call to Child Protective Service (CPS). When a complaint like this is unfounded the police typically won't call CPS and tell them about the incident - it seems like your father and you had a harmless argument which is common in almost any family. Even if CPS is called their is absolutly no indication that would justify them taking you. Especially if the police documented the incident unfounded or just a minor argument with no physical abuse (which i'm sure they did - assuming there actually was no physical abuse) Hope this makes you feel better about CPS "taking you away".
