What if a false reports of child abuse or neglect is made to Child Protective Investigation?
Especially when the parents are going though a divorce, child custody battle, or child support modification action, one parent may make a false allegation against another in an attempt to gain some advantage in an upcoming court hearing. In the event that the child protective investigator determines that “false report” was made, the investigator may turn the case over to law enforcement to determine whether any charges should be filed against the person making the false accusation. Unfortunately, the person making the false accusations are rarely if ever prosecuted by the state attorney’s offices in Florida.
