My daughter has been having trouble with the school social worker being too, what's a good word? Um nosey I guess... Well, they say she came to school smelling funny a few times and instead of calling me and asking me to come in and talk about it, they called Child Protective Services to come investgate me. The Child Protective worker, found no problem with me, my house or anything else. Long story short, the school wasn't satisfied, so they decided to call animal control and tell them we had 15 to 20 cats in our house!!!! What nerve!!! Obviously we don't have that many cats. We do have a number of cats, yes. But no where near that many, come on now. The principal admited to me that she herself had made the call. How dare she. Who does she think she is?? How would she feel if I did that to her? The animal control officer, after seeing that, no we did not have that many cats, only asked if their shots were up to date.
That upset me as much, if not more than her calling Child Services. I mean what does my child's school have to do with my cats? Can anyone here tell me who has the right to tell me how many cats are "too many cats"? The principal told me I had "too many cats". I guess she thought it was her job to help me with that "problem"? Some people have no respect at all....

What a jerk that woman is!
If it were me, I'd be at the very least demanding a written appology from the principal and the school board, to be sent to all the agencies involved (Child protective services, animal control), a copy put in my child's school record, a copy put in the prinicpal's employment record, and I'd want the appology read out loud into the minutes of the next PUBLIC school board meeting...thereby making it a matter of public record. And if I didn't get that, I'd be threatening a law suit. I'd want all my bases covered. I mean, what happens if some misunderstanding happens in the future, and the authorities look into these records and see that child protective services was called on your family once? Who knows what sorts of problems that could bring. You need to protect your family and your pets.
I'm a supporter of public schools...have several family members who work for public schools. But I am NOT a supporter of public school employees on power trips. I'd do everything I could to make this particular principal think twice about making anonymous calls without proof.

She sounds like nothing but a coward to me.
