I know. Part of me understands that, yes, they do have to investigate if an allegation is made. But seriously; no one cared that my sister suffered from severe post-natal depression for almost a year after she nearly died giving birth. No one cared that when my nephew was 2 months old, they were made homeless and spent a year and a half living in one small room in my mother's house because there was nowhere else for them to go.
But someone calls up and makes false claims, and that's it. Then they were right round - sticking their noses in, talking to my sister and brother-in-law like dirt, telling them everything they were doing wrong, and all the while claiming that they just want to help.
It just makes me so angry. I won't deny that a small amount of good has come out of it in the long term, but seriously there was no need for it to be handled the way it was.
