Serious false allegations made against my children's dcp

[BABYLUVER21]

I am so peeved right now. I am no longer a DCP but my children go to a DCP that is AWESOME.

The problem:
Her and her oldest daughter (age 36 yo) have been having serious problems. The daughter got mixed up with some guy and started getting into trouble. She drinks a lot and makes DCP/Grandma watch her children 24.7.
They got into it the other day about daughter's drinking and not taking care of the kids. My DCP friend didn't really respond to my texts the last couple weeks and I got worried. I stopped to visit her today and her OWN daughter called CPS and accused her of child molestation, vermin, filth and no food in the house. DCP was investigated and during the investigation, the grandchildren were all removed from her home and she closed the daycare. The investigation of course, was unfounded. NOW, SHE has custody of the grandchildren because the worker found something wrong with the children's MOTHER. It is going to go to a hearing and my DCP is going to request full custody and an extension of the no-contact order that is already apparently in place (so mom cannot bother her while her children are with DCP)

I cannot believe someone's OWN daughter would do this, for ANY reason when it's NOT true. My kids have NEVER had bug bites or lice or any problems coming from her home. She cleans pretty well, makes home-made food and my kids have never ever reported being molested by anyone that lives there.

The DCP is not married, as her husband died years ago and lives with her teen grandson who is ALWAYS at work and her other daughter (teen grandson's mom) and their small children. She also keeps 2 other daycare children besides mine (mine are very part time because she does not do transportation but she does keep them summers, holidays, etc).

I do not understand why people make false allegations. Has anyone else had someone in their OWN family do this to them out of anger? If so, how did you handle it? What was the outcome?

Retalitory false accusations happen more than you'd think and just because someone is family makes no difference. Drugs, alcohol, resentment, jealousy....you name it, anything can drive someone to go to great lengths to destroy anothers life.

I had a foster child once who's grandmother voluntarily placed her grandchild because her own child was posing a threat to their safety. Mom lost custody, child was placed with grandma, so daughter decided to lash out at grndma who had nothing to do with childs removal. The threats were like nothing I'd heard.....daughter was deep into drugs and had obviously lost all her marbles. Mom eventually ended up incarcerated so it was safe for child to return. I only just this last week learned that grandma not only still has custody of child but also had childs younger sibling as well.

One would think that if they lost custody of their own child they'd want them to remain safe with family and not go into a strangers care, unfortunately sick minded people who are blinded by anger and desperation often don't have that clarity and will instead try to take as many people down with them as possible.

I wish your dcp friend the best. It definitely takes a crazy amount of strength to endure that coming from your own flesh and blood especially.
