False Allegation by Child or Reporters to CPS in Michigan

If you or a loved one has been falsely accused of child abuse or neglect in the midst of a drug crime case, it’s important to hire a seasoned defense attorney as soon as possible. Facing multiple accusations can feel overwhelming and may result in a costly mistake if you don’t have a skilled defense lawyer on your side. Let your attorney navigate your case to avoid slip ups that could result in life-altering penalties.

Avoiding False Child Abuse or Neglect Allegations in Michigan

There are times when false accusations are purposefully filed, but majority of the time, they can be avoided. Here are a few things you can do to prevent false allegations:

• When possible, avoid being alone with other people’s children.
• Do your best to resolve custody disputes in an amicable fashion.
• Do not engage in any conduct that could come off as inappropriate (i.e. making sexually suggestive comments to children, telling children dirty jokes, engaging in aggressive horseplay.)
• Learn about child abuse and neglect allegations. The more you know, the easier it is to avoid situations that may be misinterpreted.

If your actions have been wrongly interpreted, contact us as soon as possible and avoid interactions with your accuser. The less you say, the better off you will be. Your lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure all of the facts are in place to give you the best shot at receiving a favorable outcome.

Understanding the CPS Investigation Process

When CPS receives word of possible child abuse or neglect, they do their best to validate the claims before beginning a formal investigation. That being said, there are times when claims seem to be warranted, but are in reality completely fabricated. It’s up to you to defend against false claims and battle for your innocence.

If CPS does look into your case, the investigation will most likely include a home visit, interviews with all parties involved, a doctor’s examination, and a final family assessment. The case will be placed in a category that will designate what kind of action, if any, needs to be taken. If your attorney can prove false allegations were purposefully made, the informant may suffer criminal penalties.
