Clearly, there are signs, both at home and at daycare. Unfortunately, if your daughter doesn't corroborate what you say she said to you, then CPS's hands are tied, unless there is more evidence. Four-year-old's are easily manipulated, and they are extremely vulnerable, as you know. It's not unusual for them to take what is said to them and mix it up when being questioned by CPS workers, which is why it's not advisable for parents to be grilling their children when they suspect abuse...parents are too close to the situation and emotions can get in the way. A child is very easily confused, and children read body language like no one can. It's very likely too that your daughter was trying to please you by saying what she said to the CPS worker. Please don't think this is your fault, and don't beat yourself up. I'm only trying to point out to all my visitors what can happen when things are handled in certain ways. Keep the routine normal at home. Keep your emotions in check. Remember, your daughter can read you like no one can. And she will blame herself whenever she sees you upset; that's simply the nature of young children. Have your meltdowns when she is not with you, difficult as that will be.

I strongly recommend some form of counselling for both you and your daughter. Also, you didn't say where you live. If you're in the USA, please contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about yours and your daughter's situation. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you and be able to give you options and suggestions. They are not a reporting agency. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

Another resource might be a women's shelter.

I wish you and your daughter all the best, Rebbeca. Thank you for sharing with my visitors and me.
