I called CPS on her for making her kids wear a mask

Thanks for trolling

If she's that concerned, maybe she shouldn't be taking them out anywhere. How thick are the masks?

I understand it's not safe. It's dangerous for a child to wear it, but that's not something I would have called CPS for. I don't think it's abuse, it's just ignorance on her part while trying to keep them safe. Maybe send her some information on the subject.

What did CPS say when you called them?

My cousin had masks made for her 6 month old twins. She said it was to "protect" them. No amount of information about how unsafe the practice is will change her mind. She says that coronavirus is way more important and dangerous and that is why she is more worried about it.

A child that young is not supposed to wear a face mask. It is dangerous and could be deadly. She doesn't seem to care and thinks she knows better than everyone else in the world.

I made the decision to call CPS and report it. I hope she will hear how unsafe it is from someone more professional and snap out of it.

That they would send someone out

that's not how it works. they can't tell you anything other than taking your complaint.

What exactly do you expect CPS to do, OP? or for that matter, what is your ultimate wish that they will do?

Provide education to her about how unsafe it is.

And that is a job for CPS, which is generally a very business social assistance program, to do?

Seriously? Domestic violence on the increase everywhere with families cooped together for weeks. Child abuse less likely to be detected as kids aren’t going to school, but hey, you’re wasting resources that are already limited on someone who out a mask on her kid? And you think you’re a hero for that? Well, here’s a sobering thought for you: maybe your report sent an actual case of child abuse to the bottom of the pile and a kid who could’ve actually use some help didn’t. Thumbs up for you...

And just out of curiosity, what did you expect CPS to do? Take those kids away from that “dangerous environment” and take them where exactly? To a “better” place, as in a foster home?

Bull shit. You are really reaching

Oh lord.

You can keep a face covering on a small child, they rip the things off their face first chance they get. So, I doubt those kids kept their mask on.

6 month olds can't untie things. They were in there really tight.

According to a counselor who told me -- their job is to help EDUCATE parents as well. If EDUCATION will keep the kids in the home, that's what they will do - EDUCATE
