    Ok, i have first hand experience in this. My child has severe autism, liver issues, and epilepsy. He had a seizure at school, because the pharmacy was out of stock of his medication and we ran out. They got stock back in but never notified us. So someone, I’m assuming the school but don’t have any proof, issued a medical neglect notice to cps. They came to the apartment, interviewed us(everything was nice they were very cordial) and investigated the claim.

    When everything came back verified and we showed the multiple doctors he regularly visits (I had to request extra time off work just to handle his appointments, never mind vacation) they dismissed the case. Yes he had a seizure(it’s not uncommon for him) and yes I understand it’s important he’s taken care of. But there are some cases where it’s truly not medical neglect just our poor health system at fault.

      Sure, but you didn’t go ranting about on facebook. That’s what the OP meant, not that there are genuine investigations resulting in nothing.

          Even so, this doesn’t qualify as a rant in my books. You seem way too reasonable.

      Was it divalproex? That was bad when they had that shortage.

      I’m sorry you went through that, but I bet you sure weren’t yelling on Facebook how the government had stolen your kids.
