Last week my son(he is 17) and I were unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time. We were at a home that was raided and several arrests were made for possession of meth. According to the report large quantities were out in the open. My son and I were not arrested. However,5 days later a DHS worker and an officer came to my own home. She said she had to follow up on a child abuse incident. Apparently they think that because I was present at the house at the time the arrests were made that I MUST have known of the drugs out in the open. I explained to the worker as well as the officers the day of the raid that I was totally unaware that there were illegal drugs present UNTIL someone had informed the individuals that the cops were approaching. At this time, an individual frantically dumped her purse contents on the floor and lo and behold there were the large quanities of drugs. She was trying to dispose of them or hide them before the cops entered the room. She was too late. So now, I face child abuse. The worker said both my son and I had to submit to drug testing. Why would they do this now if they suspected me all along? What are my rights? And my sons'? They say I could be guilty of child abuse by allowing my son to be present in this house while knowing there were illegal drugs present. How would a drug test clear me of this? Is this really necessary? Both my son and I are not worried about passing a drug test as we are not users, but this isn't my point. Can you help me understand by answering these questions? If I don't object to the drug test, wouldn't that send them a red flag? Don't know what to do. Am very stressed.
