Those motherfuckers called CPS

[bebeetmoi]

Wait wait wait. Who??? The doctors??

[vthokie]

WTAF??

[melmon0417]

OH. MY. GOD. On what basis did they call CPS? They can't assume any child who has a fracture is neglected/abused, so what was their reason?

[laurensmomma]

WTF??? I cannot believe this.

[chasbride07]

Holy crap. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

[creamsiclechica]

Oh my god. Is Chris at work, Gisa?? Are you alone?

[laurensmomma]

I am sitting here stewing on your behalf. I'm just so pissed off now.

[TrudyCampbell]

Oh my god.

[TrudyCampbell]

This is just ridiculous.

[rubber pants]

Oh. My. God.

[Faevantastic]

Wtf. I hope it gets sorted out.

[melis74]

I just got chills. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this!

[chickenlittle]

Ugh. I'm sorry. I just posted in your other post, but I've been in your shoes after I dislocated N's elbow in a "manner that was inconsistent with his injury", according to the doctor at the ER. I had to speak to someone from CPS the night we brought him in and then a home visit the next day. I was SO pissed at the time, but in retrospect, I'm glad they unnecessarily investigate someone like me rather than miss a potentially life threatening situation with another situation.

I hope this all gets cleared up soon so you guys can focus on recuperating and resting.

[PatBenatar]

Ugh I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope it gets sorted out quickly.

I'm sorry Gisa . Rest assured that CPS wants to help families--not hurt them. They have to check out the scene, but will soon realize that you are wonderful parents and leave you alone. I know it's unnerving, but I promise it will all work out! Big hugs!!

[devonpow]

Im so sorry, it's so awful and wrong . I think that they just have a safety net in place where there is a small child with an unexplained break/injury they call social services. Doesn't make it right or make it easier for you. The good news is that they will obviously quickly be able to see you are awesome parents and there is no reason for them to be involved.

All of this. I'm sorry you have to go through this, though. This happened to my parents when my brother was a baby and had a skull fracture, but it all turned out ok.

Oh god, Gisa. I'm so sorry.

Yes definitely this. I'm sorry you have to go through this but they will quickly realize you are a wonderful mother. Big hugs.

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with all of this. I know it's a pain in the ass for you, but like others have said CPS is just doing their job and the job is the same whether it involves great parents like you and Chris or abusive/neglectful parents. Without investigating, shitty parents that are harming their kids might not ever be caught! Hopefully this will all be resolved after your meeting with CPS.

[kdrake8]

Holy. Shit. That's so ridiculous. I'm so so sorry Gisa.

[ruby412]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. Hopefully it can all be cleared up quickly so you can get back to focusing on the kids and getting Greta back to 100%.

[EnchantedSoul]

They have to investigate any allegation. Tell them that you had concerns about her shoulder from the beginning. Make note that you took her to the pediatrician to have the matter looked at right away. I'm sure nothing will come of the situation but I'm very sorry that you're being put through this.

[mala]

(Heart) @ you guys

(Middle finger) for everyone else

Have you talked to your regular pedi today?

[LiveLoveLearn]

I'm so sorry Gisa, I know this is added stress you do not need. I was very accident prone as a child and this happened to my parents many times. Know that they are all just doing their job, it's totally standard procedure, they will see how great a parent you all are and it will be over. Hugs.

[creamsiclechica]

I think careyalis said it perfectly. I know you must be angry, scared, and totally outraged, but try and remain as calm as you can and things will just be a formality and protocol for them when they see nothing amiss and that you guys are great parents.

[pugz]

I am so sorry. I had a bad feeling this was going to happen. Unexplained breaks are usually hotlined

[helicase]

Oh no! Everything will be ok once they see what great parents you are.

This. If you do this, everything will be just fine! They will see that you guys are good parents.

[whodey]

I'm sorry you are dealing with this unneccessary and additional stress - I know it's part of their protocol, but it doesn't make it any easier for you.  I hope their visit and quick and uneventful...Did you ever get the results of the bloodwork and CT scan from last night?  I hope all the results were good and this is just some freak accident - is it possible one of the bigger kids bumped into her when you weren't looking?
