I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. It's important to cooperate with CPS. However, you have rights too:
- You can consult a lawyer.
- You may refuse home entry unless they have a warrant.
- You can ask about the allegations against you.
Please tell me your location for more specific advice.
