HELP - call from children's aid

[stacey31]

Hi everyone, I desperately need some help or advice. Today after school, I got a call from children's aid saying that they need to come speak to my husband and myself tomorrow afternoon, as well as with the kids. I am now very, very scared. Of course they won't tell me what it is about on the phone, and now I feel sick to my stomach.

Let me tell you about myself. I am a stay at home of 4 kids, twins 7, a 6 year old and a 4 year old. They are not abused, we don't spank, (I do yell sometimes, but what mom doesn't), we're not party people, we don't smoke drink, nothing They are in tons of different activities, hockey, ballet, beavers, (very busy family). I just don't get it. Has anyone ever gone through this before? I have no idea what my rights are or anything, like I said I feel sick now! My kids are in public school right now, but I have been thinking a lot that I would like to homeschool, now with having a case with children's aid, will this not be possible? Like I said I have no idea what this is about or could be about, I am assuming if it was something really serious they would have come today, not tomorrow after school.

Sorry this is long, but I really am desperate to find someone who has some reassuring words or advice for me.

Thanks everyone in advance.

This is always scary, but if you've done nothing wrong, then it's probably just a case of someone lodging a complaint (in which case SS has to, according to the law, check it out). momo3boys offers good advice about not letting them question your children alone unless they're formally investigating a claim of child abuse.

What state are you in?
