Okay, so here's what happened.
I went to my brother's place down south of Houston for the 4th of July. We popped off fireworks, spent some time with my niece, barbeque'd, had a nice time.
Came back home, to find out one of my roommate's daughters had gotten molested by one of said roommate's friend. Her other two daughters then also stepped forward and said that it also happened to them.
My roommate hates dealing with the police and Child Protective Services, calling them "Nazis". So, out of respect for her, Myself, her oldest two sons, and her sister confronted him and told him to leave and never, EVER come back.
He flew off the handle, saying that he didn't do a damn thing, and that Kyle(her oldest son, my roommate as well) was the one molesting the girls. He was shaking, nervous, obviously lying through his teeth. He said that he was going to have three of them put into jail for felony charges.
We chalked it up as bullshit and went about our lives.
Two days ago, CPS showed up, launching a full-scale investigation into an anonymous report saying that Kyle had molested his younger sisters. EVERYONE in the house, including the three little girls, protested this. The case worker also said that everyone that was NOT family had to leave. Not wanting to cause Jenn(their mother, also a roommate) anymore stress(she was down in tears at this point, her family was getting ripped apart at the seams), we decided it would be best to do what the case worker said, and we arranged passage back to my brother's house.
We loaded our stuff up, and got the lazy-ass cops to move their cars out of the way so we could leave, when the case worker stopped us. She forced us to submit to drug testing.
To be completely honest, yes, I did smoke pot when I was 15. That was five years ago. I don't even get near the stuff. I have zero interest in it.
So, we took the drug tests, and FINALLY we were able to leave.
On the road, we were told that they took the kids away. Kyle, who's only 19, ended up having a mild heart attack because of the stress and the anxiety over what he was accused of doing, and watching his brothers and sisters get taken away.
Once at my brother's house, I also learned that the one responsible now has warrants out for his arrest. So I'm not THAT pissed off about this. He'll end up with an asshole that'll rival Goatse once he gets out of prison.
My question is, does ANYONE here have anything good to say about the way things are handled with CPS? I know things like this are rather serious, but how are you going to get the truth out of a little girl if you put them under the stress of taking them away from their family? And let's not forget the fact that it's now on my permanent record that I am being investigated on child molestation charges, despite the fact my name never came up once.
Why can't they let the innocent ones go? I didn't do anything, and now this is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
If this ends up sounding like a rant to you, I apologize, and please move this to the proper forum.
Thank you for reading.
