Father here, and mine is a blended family. 1 girl, 2 boys from first marriage and I've adopted 2 girls in the present marriage.
About 7 months ago the youngest 4 (2 adopted girls(5/6) and 2 sons(5/10)) decided to start 'pantsing' each other. On a visit to the MIL's house one of my adopted girls told her about my eldest son pantsing her. We were informed of this and took what we feel is appropriate action on the issue. Despite that, we've received continual harassment from MIL about the issue.
Tensions hit an all time high this week when MIL called my wife and told her that she is compelled to call CPS because she believes our 10 year old son is molesting, even raping, my adopted 6 year old daughter. There has been nothing said or indicated since April about anything remotely inappropriate going on.
So we've cut off the MIL. We're not accepting phone calls from her and the girls will not be spending any time with her for the foreseeable future. I have to prepare for CPS involvement at this point and am asking for any insight/experience/advice as to what I'm up against and what to do. Some friends of mine went through a related issue and it literally tore their family apart and has had disastrous ramifications on the accused son. I fear the worst.
Thank you!
