False accusation of Child abuse by child, what to do?

I'm currently living with my 28 yr old brother in his house with his family which includes 4 children and his wife, his oldest son, Jose, is 7 years old, it all starts with him, one day he developed something on his lower right eye that looks like a scratch, not sure how it happened, but it no where near looks like a bruise, later at school he was asked by a teacher if his father had hit him, he said yes he did, I know my brother, i live with him everyday of the week and every hour, i have lived here for the past 1 1/2 years, in no way does he hit ANY of his children. So as a result the school called social services and investigated our home and now we have a agent that visits us every other week or so, (1 visitation so far) what can we do? I know there is something up with Jose psychologically, but the real honest truth is that he has NEVER been abused yet he still says he is being hit by his father (in the face to be more exact) when it is a complete lie, what can we do?False accusation of Child abuse by child, what to do?
First thing I would do is take Jose to a child psychologist. That will also show Child Services that you are being proactive in the good welfare of the child.





You might even find out what is bothering Jose and why he tells those stories.False accusation of Child abuse by child, what to do?
The boy has to come clean with the school/social services. Don't be upset with the school. They have a legal obligation to report any suspected child abuse. In fact, they can be held criminally responsible if they don't report it. Sounds like someone over-reacted here, but the boy needs to admit that he lied (if he is lying of course)
Contact CPS (Child Protective Servies) and ask them for an appeal, if you will, then get a phsycologist. This happens ALL THE TIME. Jose wants attention. Dont give him it
been there, and get the child some outside help, not a counselor from cps. My oldest lied and got us involved in a cps case, it was really hard, but even after they figured out she lied ( she spent almost a year in foster care and then her behavior there plus other facts provided the proof) she came home with an attitude that I couldnt tell her no, and hell was there in our house all the time after that.


Get the child help. NOW. Make sure it doesnt go any further. And get a lawyer and make sure they dont add to the case.


Once you have been called on they hound you again and again.


My reputation got better but only because I had to fight for it, and against the accusations. SO please fight this or your brother will be looking over his shoulder until the youngest leaves home, wondering if he will lose his kids.


My daughter saw an ad put out by cps, that said it shouldnt hurt to be a kid, and because she was confused about her dad leaving on a tour of duty (navy) she cried wolf. She didnt understand because of her age that the ad meant physically hurt, she thought any pain, and added later that it was physical when they coached her.


It is a really hard thing to do, but watch your back and fight back.
I don't think you have any thing to worry about with your brother, SS have to investigate these accusations, and they will come to see in time that your brother has not harmed the child, i would think that for your nephew to make such an accusation, at the time did not realize the trouble he would cause, maybe he had been told off by dad, or maybe it goes deeper and he has a psychological problem, so maybe this should be the steps your family should take next, get the boy in to counseling.
