Defending against neighbor’s accusation of negligence with strong words

Neighbor accuses husband of negligence, mother overreacts. YTA.

System works: YTA reported, investigated, no action taken

“YTA for how you reacted, yes. CPS just did a welfare check, they’re not trying to steal your children away. You’re behaviour to your neighbour WAS abusive. If that’s how you treat people, then maybe there is more to this story than you let on. The purpose of CPS is to do welfare checks on kids, they did their job, everything worked out fine. Your reaction justifies their concerns though.”

Neighbor’s concern for child’s safety leads to misunderstanding. NAH.

Different parenting styles can be subjective. Abuse is not okay.
