This petition is in regards to the ongoing harassment that "anonymous" callers can do by simply picking up a phone. CPS officials are made to investigate EVERY claim and due to this fact their good intentions gets abused. One anonymous caller is able to open up a new case everyday even tho all others previously were unfounded for neglect. This petition is for a change in the rules stating the following:
(1)Callers with a complaint must give their name to CPS officials but will remain anonymous to who their complaint is against.
(2)After 3 unfounded cases in the same year any new complaint (unless there is mitigating evidence of abuse) shall not be "investigated" for at least the next 6 months.
(3)After 3 complaints of abuse by the same caller are all deemed unfounded any future calls after that by that same caller will be looked upon as Harrassment and whoever the calls were against now can file criminal charges.
These changes need to be made. To many kids and ex lover's lives are being turned upside down because these loopholes just for "payback". I understand that CPS is their for children's safety but where does it stop? They are here to find and stop abuse but the constant questioning and visits to kids over and over is abuse itself. Please sign this petition and add anything else you feel I left out. I thank you in advance for taking the time to read over my petition and hope you agree with what I've said. Have a good day.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows us to move forward with formal advocacy. I am currently drafting a letter for the heads of the local CPS district office to request a meeting on these policy revisions. Please watch for updates as I coordinate with legal counsel to refine our legislative proposals.

CPS has too much power, We have the right to face the people who are accusing us of abuse to our children. The harassment must stop. ANONYMOUS NO MORE.
I was on of them who got CPS called on the day I left my ex husband. They came to my mother's home and they asked to hold my baby and took their hand and rubbed it up her spine to see if the baby would cry and she hadn't. I also have a friends that are dealing with unfounded cases and her ex is calling them because he wants to keep control over her even if she is not with him any longer.
to many people filled with hate want to cause problems , so I think they should have to say who they are and be held accountable for their actions for false reports
There has to be a better way of screening to understand what is a valid concern, or what is a personal attack on someone.
I believe in CPS that they are doimg the best they can... but I believe that the harrassment issue is a hugee problem because CPS has to take every call seriously, and those claims that actually need immediate attention cant get the proper immediate attention because they have to take care of the calls that are just people mad at others, so they call CPS to give that person added stress...
The harassment must stop!
Save our children from trafficking please
