Child protective services keeps closing cases and opening new ones right after because my sons school keeps calling about every little thing.cat scratch was said to be abuse,which was ruled out and case was about to close but was kept open because they feel like i can use their services .Eventually it was about to close again but someone else retaliated and made false emigrations about me and mentioned drug use,which i took the drug test it was negative.i attached a letter of what happened after that which lead to my case worker now wanting a hair follicle test and using me being tired against me ,i took another drug test in lab she send me to it was negative and still she is fishing and said if i dont take hair folicle she will presume i do drugs,which now feels like harassment and i want to know if she is wrong for just assuming and persuming and instead of closing my case she is using her pursumtoon that i use drugs and making this case continue
