If you have been contact by an CPS worker regarding an allegation of child abuse or neglect, the most important thing to do is NOT to speak to them. Politely advise them that before your speak with them, you will be calling an attorney for legal advice. This is your right and cannot be challenged. Expect the CPS worker to threatent you and become very rude when you inform them that you will not speak to them without an attorney. The reason for not speaking with CPS is very simple.
CPS workers do not record the interviews in any way. This allows them to lie and manafacture facts that do not exist. All interviews with CPS should be recorded and in the presence of your attorney to assure that CPS does not overstep its bounds. Thousands of families are put through years of CPS abuse because they ignore this advice and believe that they can reason with CPS. CPS case workers have no interest in fairness, they only want to make it appear that they are doing their jobs.
