CPS was "helpful" enough to show up at my door unannounced less than 24 hours after I was discharged from a 5 day stay in the hospital. Needless to say, I was exhausted, my house was a mess, and I homeschool my kids. The investigator told me that he had to do an "assessment" within 72 hours of the intake call. Which means the unscrupulous doctor treating me called them while I was in the hospital, meaning the doctor violated my patient privacy rights. Then, after interviewing my kids, the investigator told me he'd submit the interviews to his supervisor, and would get back with me by the end of the week, to advise me of "what they decide to do next". That was 2 weeks ago. He also told me that in my home state, the laws were being changed, so that CPS investigators could carry a weapon, and would have the same power that law enforcement officials have (i.e. the police). So they will no longer need to show up with police officers to come and take your kids. And this is in TEXAS, y'all!!! One of the last safe havens for homeschoolers! Get ready folks. It's coming.

Wow, I'm so sorry this happened to you! This are not humans, they're robots following orders. I know how scary this can be, they come on the most impossible moments, almost as if they're poking around in your life until they find those moments. Did you check up on what he said? They lie and cheat their way through their job. Just because they say something it doesn't have to be true...I made the mistake of letting them in, but reading all the comments here, I realized they can't just come in. I kind of knew that, but must have hidden the information somewhere. I had someone here when they came back again...I believe it helped. They like to intimidate, and with a witness that is not really possible. I just checked for the laws in Texas, but see nothing about CPS investigators carrying guns...Stay strong <3 <3 <3
Goodness. I am from Texas!! And I homeschooled there!! This is one of the (minor) reasons we chose to move to Panama. So scary that they can just show up, no warrant. They HAVE more power than the police there. What is happening now? I'm going to check out your blog and see if you've posted anything.
