When a child is neglected, it’s natural to call Child Protective Services. In fact, research shows that before their 18th birthday, about a third of American children will be the subjects of a CPS investigation. Clearly, it’s no joking matter, but one grandmother thought it would be funny to threaten her daughter with CPS.
The distraught mom recently shared her story online. According to her, the grandmother was undermining her every parenting decision for the two months she’s had the baby. She wasn’t sure whether she would take this and her other comments to heart or if she was just overreacting. But folks online justified her worries, calling out the grandma for her weird behavior.
