O/T- I would like to let everyone know what my past experience has been in trying to get CPS to go and check on a child that I had great concern with, This has been approx 3 years ago, And I really don't want to get into the detail of this child because it is still not known that I am the one who made this report...But I can say that the immediate family had great concerns about this child but they were scared to call CPS because they did not want this mother to have her only child ripped from her, But I have a family member that was in contact with the family members that were concerned, so this is how I was being given information on this child, Now I will say that this was not a abuse case as much as the child was being neglected (which I feel is also a form of abuse)...So I called CPS and gave them the mothers name, child's name, address and all of the information that I had on this neglect...I was told that I would be called by the investigator IF they decided to open a case...As time went on I kept getting more information about this child but no call from CPS Investigator, I had also given my name to CPS, It took me calling 6 times to get them to finally open and Investigation for this poor child, and to this date CPS is still involved in monitoring this child...So for someone to call and either give there name or call in an anonymous tip it is not like they just say OK we will start an investigation...So in my opinion it is not fair to blame friends or family members who you may think did not call CPS they very well may have called and nothing was done, and if the family is aware that one family member has already called they may feel that there is no reason for numerous members to call....I will also say to anyone out there that is aware of neglect or abuse just because you may know a call has already been made, Make one yourself the more people who call in will possibly get an investigation started sooner...Just wanted to tell everyone my experience on this subject.
