Recently I called family services on a neighboor for child neglect. They turned around and did the same to me?
Can I file criminal charges on them for false reporting?
CPS gave us the name of the complainant and it was their 20 year old son. (who hasn't been at our house in 3 years)

No, but the CPS can.
I know you aren't negligent, just wait for the authorities to find out. Total jerks! I hope they lock them up. What an awful thing to teach their children too! Those kids are going to be just as screwed up as the adults are.

CPS can file the false report charge
You could sue for defamation, but you'd have to be able tp PROVE that these neighbors that you called CPS on called them on YOU.
Very hard to prove since calls are confidential. They'd have to basically admit it to you on their own.

"remove the log in your eye before you tell someone to remove the peck in his eye" i'm not judging you but if you think it was a false claim then you shouldn't worry cos those child protection ppl don't just come in and take your kid away.You did a good thing by reporting your neighbor but i think that next time, make sure you got no dirt on you before you spill the bean out of somebody...
good ppl suffer for being good whiles bad ppl suffer at their own hands.
