I'm in South Carolina. I can get her name. I'm just sick of these people.
Re: statute of limitations for dss investigation?
Too late for my advice, but we always had someone with the kids when they were interviewed. First time it was the police officer, second/last time it was a friend of mine who knows the kids and is a former school teacher. For us, we just never allowed the kids to be alone with strangers... EVER! So, we insisted. It was a good thing because they started putting words in my son's mouth (the one with ADD) when he said "I don't remember" ... then they started doing multiple choice and my friend said, "he already said he doesn't remember... leave it at that!"
So....... I would call that harassing or badgering her. Complain to the supervisors, directors, etc. Call the police and tell them you want a forensic interview done because you know that they would never tell an 8 year old she was lying to try and manipulate the situation.

Re: statute of limitations for dss investigation?
We just didn't know we could do that. We should have gotten a lawyer early on. But it's too late now. I just hope they don't try to go for my wife thinking she is just protecting me. But can they really do anything without evidence? I just don't trust anyone on the government side right now. I'm really done doing everything I can to cooperate and play there freaking games. The lawyer said today that The case looked very good and we really didn't need to hire him yet. But that doesn't help me get home.

All CPS workers, being a licensed social worker or not, are bound by the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics.

I think, worded right, a complaint could be filed using:
Have you tried talking to the officer who sat in on the initial interview? Some officers dislike CPS and will give you a copy of their report which may contradict CPS's..
Was this last interview video taped?

I think, worded right, a complaint could be filed using:
Calling a child a liar during an investigation is a "conflict of interest to having an impartial judgement"Conflicts of interest. CPS caseworkers should be alert to and avoid any conflict of interest that may interfere with the exercise of professional discretion and impartial judgment. Caseworkers should not take any unfair advantage of a professional relationship or exploit others for personal gain.
I don't think calling names or attempting to lead them astray is being respectful or sensitive to a 8 year old..Derogatory language. Caseworkers should never use derogatory language in their verbal or written communication about clients. Caseworkers should use behavioral, respectful, and sensitive language in their communications to and about clients.
But can they really do anything without evidence?

Re: statute of limitations for dss investigation?
Just a update. I found out yesterday it was unfounded. No I'm sorry for taking 2months of your life.. thanks for all your support and advise.
Re: statute of limitations for dss investigation?
So glad that you can all get back to normal now! Well, you'll have to adjust "normal" because you'll always be watching, waiting for them to show up again.
Our 13 yr old son in is martial arts and a couple weeks ago got smacked during practice, near the eye, creating a quarter-sized abrasion and a mild black eye. I wasn't too worried about sending him to school, teachers asking 'what happened' and him responding with the truth. Then around 10 a.m. I thought, "what if they call CPS as a policy, any time they see something suspicious?" So, I actually went to school to catch him between classes and said, "If anybody asks about your eye, you tell them the truth. If they ask ANYTHING else, you tell them you want your mother or your lawyer here."
I also tell my friends not to trust those people... call me if they ever show up!
