To make a LONG story short..about a month ago my older sister stopped by my house. We were redoing 2 of our 3?
bedrooms (took out carpet & putting laminate in). So our house was a little messy. I had given my niece some clothes the week before and told her I would probably have more. So when we were sitting in my living room she goes why don't we got throught your closet while we are here. While in my bedroom she knocks my jewelry box off my dresser. Before she left she asked why I wasn't wearing my wedding ring...I told her I didn't sleep with it on & hadn't gotten around to putting it on that day. So she leaves and I went back and my wedding ring was there, but the ring my kids had gotten me when I passed my insurance license exam was gone. My oldest sister showed up at ther house the next day and told her that looked like my ring...sister who stole the ring started defending herself. Needless to say that started a big tiff in my family. Stealing sister told my Mom she was going to call CPS on me for my house being messy. Stealing sister served time in jail a few summers ago for several charges...one being false reporting. So I get home from work the other day and my oldest son who is seven found a card that was in our door...it was from CPS. So now I have CPS coming to my house Monday to "investigate". Stealing sister told CPS my kids are living in unsafe conditions, receiving inappropriate disapline & there is inappropriate behavoir at home. For the record, I have 3 kids and my husband and I work outside the home...no way is my house a disaster like she said...it is not spotless, but is is clean. I would not be embarrassed if someone just showed up at my house. My two oldest kids are FREAKING OUT. I feel terrible for them.....any advise???

Report her for stealing your ring - get statements from your two kids or even better if you have any photos with you wearing it - use these things to back up your claim of stolen property
She is the one who is trying to divert attention from herself by putting the onus on you via the CPS coming into your life - she is also the one who has done the wrong thing - don't let her get away with it
I would also tell her that she is no longer welcome in your home and it is your home - not hers and she has no right to tell you how to live your life or to report you - she is the one to be reported - she already has a record and now another to add to it

Go to the police station and report your ring stolen. Tell the whole story. Hopefully your oldest sister will allow the police to call her if necessary. Stop what you're doing and clean the house. Clean even if it means you pull an all nighter, or take off for a day. Keep your house above CPS' reproach. Tell your children that you will do everything in your power to keep them safe, happy and at home. Remind your children about your value system, not stealing, not exacting revenge, appropriate ways to react when you've done something wrong. Hire a lawyer and file a complaint against your sister for false reporting. It is completely ridiculous that your sister would risk her own sister's children being taken away so she doesn't have to admit to stealing a ring (or return it). Just for a minute, let's pretend that she did NOT take it- calling CPS is a terrible way to react to false accusations. A good sister would climb a mountain if it meant keeping her sister's children safe at home. Although she's your sister, it's obviously not a good idea to have a relationship with her- at least while your children are young. Tell her she's no longer welcome at your home. You don't need someone like this in your life and you certainly don't want your children to be influenced or otherwise affected by such a woman. I don't have to tell you that being a mother is like being a soldier. Nothing and no one should get in the way of completing your mission: raising healthy, happy, well adjusted adults. It's painful that someone close to you would do this, I'm sure. It's probably also painful to fathom not having a relationship with her, but your babies need your protection from someone who would do such things.

Don't worry if every thing is OK there, she is just making trouble for you.
Just let them come and check out every thing ,
And you didn't' do such a good job making a Long story short LOL just kidding.
I wouldn't let her back in your home again, if you can't trust her , she can just stay away. She knew that the CPS was a good way to hurt you.

well i know when i was in a debocle when i was at a young age it helped that my parents didnt show any emotion about it and just went along with it as if it were nothing. it showed me that it wasnt a big deal especially in your case because it sounds like you'll be fine with CPS. im just very shocked your sister would do this to you. im pretty sure CPS will ask your kids if they feel safe or not, and that is the ultimate question, if your children are content with you as parents im pretty sure you have nothing to worry about. goodluck

CPS doesn't expect everything to be ideal concerning your household or your family situation. If you try to make it out as though it is then they'll think you are covering something up. Just act normally and let them know the situation concerning your sister and why she made her accusation, doing so in a calm and reasonable fashion.

Be open and honest and *CALM* with the CPS folks. Explain the situation, but don't make it about your sister with them. This is about your children. Retain a lawyer.
Break all contact with your "stealing sister". Keep her out of your house, and out of your life. Make sure your family knows your feelings, and the reason for them.

don't declaw your cat just try a def scratching post declawing operation is in fact the amputation of each of the cat’s toes at the first joint. It involves cutting of the front part of a cat’s toes and means cutting through nerves and muscles and removing bone. This operation is extremely painful (it has been proven to be much more painful than sterilizing or spaying your cat) and it will take a long time to heal. Even after the wounds have healed, the cat may suffer from a series of after-effects

you have nothing to worry about at all i think your sister does when you tell the child protection this story and say you have no problem with them coming to your house any time of the day because you have nothing to hide.
they have to have sufficent evidence to take your kids away but looks like your sister will be off back to jail lol never mind its where thieves belong!

I would say relax. Once they walk into your home, talk to you and your kids they will see all is well. You have a good head on your shoulders and you know how powerful the truth is. So smile and fight with kindness.
