Re: harassment by a government agenecy

You should never speak to a social service department investigator without an attorney present. They have a way of twisting your words.

Additionally if you do not answer the door when they "pop" in then they will say you are ignoring them and could use that to try to strip your child from you.

I strongly urge you to seek counsel immediately so as to protect your child from the predator and the government.

Remember the three biggest lies in the world...

1. The check is in the mail,

2. I will respect you in the morning

and;

3. I am from the government and I am here to help.

Good Luck.
