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.
