HELP! DCFS was called on me.

I posted a video of my daughter singing naked as a private video only seen by friends on facebook. My best friend decided to call DCFS. I had a cop at my house today and will have DCFS visit tomorrow.

Due to the severe winter weather, we had our pipes freeze up and had no running water for several days. My husband does plumbing work and was under the house fixing it. Meanwhile, we were bathing and getting water from a neighbor (which many in the area have had to do).

She told them we had no heat, no running water and that I was posting nude pictures of my daughter on the internet.

We have wood heat, electric heat and a very inefficient propane heater that we are not using. I explained to the cop about the water and he walked through the house and said we had plenty of heat. I told him we had the water off right now because we don’t want the pipes to refreeze and just turn it on when we need it.

Anyway, we went 8 days without fully functioning water, so we have a lot of dirty dishes and laundry, which we’ve been trying to get caught up on.

I am actually terrified beyond belief. I do not know what to do except panic and clean. Unfortunately, I’ve been throwing up all day, this is not helping.

If you have ever had this happen to you, please tell me what to expect.

Curiosity compels me to ask… how old is your daughter?

Happened to me and my ex-wife.

In between the visit form the cops, and the Family Services person coming through, we cleaned the house spotlessly (which it needed anyways, we were slobs and the house was gross. I’ve gottten better since then) and made sure there was good food in the fridge and cupboards.

Family services person came to the house, did a walk through. Looked in our fridge and cupboard. Interacted with my daughter a bit (who was freshly bathed).

That was it. No problems after that.

Still terrifying.

I have sympathy for your position, but I think your best course of action is to seek legal council immediately, and not rely on anonymous posters who, as helpful as they may wish to be, do not know the laws of your area.

Closing thread.
