My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: California
My son is 10, and he's a rowdy boy, and he plays outside with his friends at the playground, next thing I know he has a bruise on the side of his face from falling. Goes to school the next day and teacher asks about his bruise, he says idk, (my son being forgetful) the school calls CPS on me. CPS comes to my house, I was not there at the time, my mom was there and my son was there. She only came to the front door, asking where I was and I was at work. Next day came along CPS interviews my son. Assistant principle called and told me, I said ok. and asked my son the questions she asked. He said he fell from playing with his friends he thinks it was a rock. She asked plenty of other questions and took pictures of his face and his top of his body.
Nothing there of course except the bruise on his face, which pains me to say the bruise is like 2 bruise line markings. She proceeded to ask questions like: what does your mom and dad like to drink, do they ever race in the car? Do they argue? what happens if you get in trouble, but my son said nothing but good things. milk, apple juice, no racing, no arguing, takes ipad away for a week. CPS worker asks why did he tell his teacher that he said "idk" when she asked about his bruise? he said my mom and dad told me to put ice on it.
My question is that the cps worker calls me a week later after she interviewed my child, saying she has come concerns and would like to speak to me in person about it. I am not sure whether I have to worry or get a lawyer since this is my first time dealing with CPS? I have also done alot of research and I am scared to think they will take him away because for one second I was not able to see my child fall from the playground. I am so paranoid I had my son go to the doctor to check is non existent bruise which was gone a week later to just check if he's ok. and my doctor was just telling me it's fine and don't worry. am I a overly worried mom? should I get a lawyer to support this case?
one thing that does scare me is that I was involved with theft in the past, which was 5 years ago, and they say online that cps can look up information about you to get dirt. but I did the community service and did all the legal stuff to get myself in a better place which I am right now. please advise?
