I know a hospital here that always calls social services whenever someone with a disability has a baby rather it's a deaf person or someone in a wheel chair or someone with autism or who is blind, etc. According to Roger Meyers, the social services here are getting so sick of them abusing them with their false reports wasting their time. I had my baby at their hospital and they also called social services on me because they were concerned. But yet they didn't seem to call them about my husband too who is also disabled. But the social worker was great and she told me they had bigger things to worry about so them taking that long to show up is a good thing because it means they were not that concerned. At least I have a positive story about my experience with them.

I think disabled children are also more likely to be taken, especially autistic children. Care workers tend to think that autistic behaviour is due to abuse - the "refrigerator mother" myth in a new disguise. The kids then go to a home or to foster parents, who haven't got a clue as to how to treat the kids and damage them. Be vigilant!

I read it's common for parents of autistic kids to be accused of doing child abuse. Their behaviors are similar is why. Also don't forget that some autistic kids do self injuries so of course people would think they are being abused. I wonder if my parents have ever been accused of child abuse? I never asked.

There is a deaf woman who almost got her kids taken away I know. This happened a long time ago, though.

Ugh I was just looking up CPS stuff and boy their system is broke and so messed up. I was already aware that innocent parents do lose their kids to CPS due to accidents or rare conditions where the child gets broken bones or bruises easily or because someone made a false claim against them due to a vendetta or because one of the parents was doing child abuse and the other never knew about it until it was too late. Also if you have a condition and you show up in ER with your baby, they assume the worst and so does CPS. Just something new I had learned. Makes me sick from what I just read.

I also understand my husband better about his paranoia and CPS. He used to worry about dirty dishes in the sink and wash them and hide the dirty pots and pans under the sink when the home nurse come over for a monthly check up with our son. Social workers have actually made a fuss over dirty dishes in the sink when they show up when they got a false report. Then my husband didn't like my April Fool joke this year about trying to get my kid to have autism. I actually read an article online about a Florida mother who thought that if she faked child abuse to her newborn, her ex boyfriend would come back to her. So she texts the photos to him and instead he shows the to the police. CPS were called and they showed up at her hotel room where it happened and she was arrested and the kids were taken despite the fact the baby was okay and had no signs of abuse. The mother was stupid on her part because how does abusing your child win your partner back? Who would want to be with a child abuser and want their kids around them? What was wrong with her logic? Even though she didn't abuse her child and she pretended she did, the authorities didn't care and they arrested her and charged her with child abuse because the photos said it all even though they were staged. But what I got out of that story was be careful what I joke about, be careful with my pranks. CPS could get involved and all it takes is for people to twist something around and take my kid away for it and possibly get arrested and falsely charged. In this case I would say it was the mother's fault for her own stupidity. She thought she had a plan to get her ex back but instead it backfired and it cost her her children and now she is facing prison and it all ended up in the media where she is getting slammed by people commenting on the articles about it.  All because of her faulty logic and her dumb move. But I admit the places she put her baby in for the sake of the pictures did sound horrible. But yet I have seen a photo in my high school year book of a baby in the dryer and he was smiling. The mother was clever enough to make it all look bad than it really is but was stupid enough to actually do it. I think you can have good intelligence and stupidity.

I have always naively thought if you did nothing wrong as a parent, don't worry about CPS being called on you because they won't see anything. But wrong, they see what they want to see and twist it around and make you out to be monsters. No wonder parents get upset when people threaten to call CPS on them for no reason or worry about people calling them  for no reason so they don't do certain discipline to their kids in public nor in front of people such as spankings because they fear people calling CPS and accusing them of doing child abuse. And I had a comeback "if you think I am doing child abuse, feel free to call social services." I truly would mean it because I am not doing anything wrong as a parent so I would have nothing to hide but with all this I found out, I better damn will care and not use that comeback anymore because the system is broken.

Anyone can lose their children, I know just because CPS gets involved doesn't mean they are bad parents. Anyone could get CPS involved. Even this thread proves it.
