Q: Hi i have a question about a legal issue involving a false cps case against me when i have no minor children in the home
This claim was filed against me because my grandchildren were in my care when i ran out of propane due to a mistake made by mdhhs. While trying to get them to look into their mistake which i started when my tank was at 30% they refused to look into it and instead asked if i had kids in the home i told her i had already called their parents to pick them uo and my house was not cold yet she said she was a mandated reporter and would not give me her name and hung up on me. The mistake was later deemed theirs and rectified allowing me to get propane. Now cps is investigating when the kids don't live here. The caseworker from cps said its baseless but he has to investigate. Contacting my grandkids school. Doctor and parents.
A: I'm not sure what you can do at this point. When CPS is contacted, they do have an obligation to investigate. Your time to act will be when you receive the result of that investigation. Hopefully it is as the caseworker told you: unsubstantiated.
