With no children of her own, a sudden visit from the CPS seemed quite unnecessary! But she later realized that her mother-in-law made the call regarding a child she babysat for, and it was all to prevent her from adopting a child.
A Welfare Check
Her mother-in-law called the CPS while she was babysitting her friend’s 7-year-old boy. What she actually alleged to CPS, she’ll never know the full extent of. But they came to do a welfare check, and thank God, the little boy’s mom was late dropping him off.
Childless Family
She didn’t have any children of her own. It was medically risky for her to become pregnant. However, her mother-in-law deemed her son as the end of her bloodline and apparently saw her condition and subsequent preference to adopt as an intentional attack against her!
A Confusing Question
She was home alone when the CPS arrived, demanding to know where her kids were. Confused, she told them she had no idea what they were talking about! She didn’t have any kids of her own!
Getting Stranger
They asked if she didn’t know where her kids were or if she had lost them. She was so flustered! She kept insisting she didn’t have kids. They warned her she couldn’t hide her kids from them!
Proof of Parenting
She reiterated that she DID NOT HAVE ANY KIDS! They asked to prove it! She said she couldn’t! All she could think of to say was to call anyone who knew her or go to any neighbor’s house!
Clarity At Last
Finally, they gave her more details when they realized she wasn’t playing dumb, and everything clicked into place! Right, they were talking about the little boy that she babysat for now and again!
Interrogated on the Spot
It was about this time that the little boy and his mother arrived. That was mortifying! They asked the mother all these awful questions, and they asked the boy the same awful questions that terrified him half to death. None of them had a clue what was happening!
Helping a Friend
She had no idea who would think to call CPS on her. Especially because she didn’t have kids, but also because she didn’t babysit professionally; she just did it as a favor to her friend while she was going through a divorce!
Loves Children
And then, of course, because she’d never hurt a child and would never hurt a child and would give her own life before she’d hurt a child, the whole concept was utterly bizarre!
A Secret Well Kept
Now, how does she know it was her mother-in-law who called? She didn’t tell anyone about this bizarre incident while she struggled to determine who’d do such a thing and why because it was traumatic and embarrassing, and she didn’t want people to know about it!
The Truth Unveiled
Yet, her mother-in-law happened to be over recently, and the boy she babysat had just been dropped off. And she said: “His mother still lets you watch him even after you were investigated?!”
A Poor Excuse
So… that caught her attention! She confronted her, but that got nowhere. Her husband confronted her, and she said she called them out of concern for the little boy because she didn’t have any childcare experience, and she wanted to make sure he was okay!
Checking Up on Her
She also said that she wanted to ensure she was “doing everything right!” Then, accusatorily reminded her of the time she let him stay up until 10:00 p.m. That was her reason for calling child protective services!
Kidnapping Accusation
Her husband let her know they weren’t buying that story, and she said she was just trying to protect them as well! She said because the kid’s parents were divorced, she worried she was unknowingly KIDNAPPING the kid by babysitting him without his father’s full permission and consent!
The Truth Revealed
After a few more bogus lies and her excusing herself before she actually physically tried to hurt her, she broke down and confessed she was doing it to make it harder for them to adopt a baby.
Natural Pregnancy Plan
She thought if they had a record with CPS, they’d be unable to adopt and forced to try to conceive naturally if they wanted kids. She hadn’t even taken into consideration her medical condition and the dangerous implications!
Report Closed
Thankfully, since the CPS found the mother had left her son there intentionally, there was no neglect, and her house was safe and clean, the case was closed. They also got a lawyer who said it would soon be expunged from their records entirely.
Not Sharing the Incident
She wasn’t able to dwell on it because she didn’t want to share that she was investigated by CPS with anyone! She just worried that even telling the backstory created too much of a “but what if the mother-in-law noticed real abuse” connotation.
Devastated at her Actions
But she was still deeply hurt by her actions and just engulfed with rage that she’d try to stand between her and her husband having the family they wanted because it wasn’t exactly how she imagined it.
