One half reports made to AZ CPS FALSE-ex's, grandparents retaliate
And yet we fully fund investigating such dreck? And OTOH, CPS, DES is
continually crying poor mouth, while implementing NO STEPS TO ELMINATE OR CURB FALSE REPORTING of child abuse or neglect. Subject: One-half reports made to AZ CPS fake-ex-spouse, GP's From: (Fern5827) Date: 11/21/2003 11:45 AM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: http://www.azcentral.com House panel OKs bill on false reports to CPS PHOENIX - A bill that would make it a crime to knowingly file a false report to Child Protective Services was approved Thursday by the House Human Services Committee. Some caseworkers say as many as half of the reports made to CPS are believed to be fake, usually filed by vindictive spouses embroiled in child custody cases and grandparents unhappy about how grandchildren are being raised. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a similar provision, also adding language that would allow a judge to consider whether a parent made a false report to CPS when deciding custody. The bills would carry a penalty of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Filing a false child-abuse report to police already is a Class 1 misdemeanor, according to state law. But the statute does not specifically include false reports made to CPS as being illegal. DESCRIPTORS; DES, ARIZONA, FOSTER CARE, KINSHIP CARE, ASFA, CAPTA, ACCOUNTANCY, FAMILY LAW Comment: about 6 years ago in CT, a Mom and her 4 children (mixed race) were the targets of numerous, false reports made to DCF about her family. She was pretty much aware of who had filed them, but since it was not a misdemeanor to do such, the reporter had NOTHING TO LOSE by making them. How about if CPS cries all the time about how overworked they are, that they put some muscle and teeth behind their complaining and put some aversives toward those folks who file false reports? Really, when you think about it--they summon almost as much dollars and money as those who call in false bomb threats. I would like to see CPS endorse such statutes in each state. Until then, they are just endeavoring to pad their own positions. |
