My good friend's ex sicked child services on my family and on my friend. I was horrified. They went to my kids schools then showed up at my house about three hours later. I did let them in. Charges were bogus so I figured why not? They came they looked asked a few questions and for some references (family). Two weeks later I got a letter that the charges were unfounded. The jerk who did this to get back at his ex got a bill for two social workers time and also their expenses. My friend was investigated also. She got an unfounded letter as well. It cost this guy some money-hehe
I suspect that things would not have ended as quickly or as well if you had run them off and hidden the children from them.
Good for her! Sometimes the best way to win si to play the game.
It's good to see one turn out for the best.
