My question involves defamation in the state of: Louisiana
Hi, a few days ago my husband and I walked down the street walking our dog, it's a dead end street and distance about 200 feet to the end. We received a very unpleasant phone call from our parents telling us not to leave our house any longer without the baby or they will call child protection services. We then found out that it was our neighbour who called them talling them that we leave our baby alone at home "all the time" and that she will call child protection services the next time. We have a very happy, healthy, loving 1 year old baby girl. She is and means everything to us, as she cannot get out of her crib and she's sound asleep after 8pm I her mom occasionaly go outside to join my husband who works late. We sit outside in the front of the house or sometimes I might if not to tired take a walk. I have at all times a monitor with me. She is not only saying all this to our family but also to all our other neighbours who most of them wimp it off and wonder why she takes her time to spread this lie. My question is can she actualy do this and threaten us to have our baby taken away for walking the dog or sitting in our front yard or talking to our neighbour next door which is 10 feet away from our front door? Could child protective services take her away because we are not inside the house with her. And if not can we report her with this false accusation, slander and defamation as we are afraid she might lie and say something that realy will hurt us. She was my husbands ex-wife best friend and I think she wants to create some trouble for us and wish to do something about it before she goes to far with these accusations. I am in my 30's and my husband is in his 40's, our party hearty days are long time gone, they occasionaly might come along ( hopefully) but we are hardworking people with no intentions ever to leave our baby alone or neglect her. When she wakes up believe me I KNOW it! I hope someone can help me find that the walking outside and being outside (within the premises of our house) without her can not harm our family. Thank you
