To keep things short, my husband and I were referred to CPS before we even brought our newborn home from the NICU due to allegations that were false (a nurse suspected domestic violence toward me). We had two home visits, and in the second the case worker said to us "after we're done here we'll be gone". So we assumed the case was closed.

Then we see that they referred us to a program where someone comes into your house for 2-3 hours every. single. week... and teaches you how to "bond with your kid" etc. because we have mental health issues (which we are already getting treatment for in therapy, and they know that).

And by the way this wasn't part of something we signed, they just texted us and told us they referred us. Then we get a call from the program asking us if we'd like to join it, very much making it sound optional.

So, I mean, is it actually optional or is it going to be one of those things you can technically not do but will look really really bad for your case?
