Yeah - I wouldn't *tell them* to call CPS (unless it came right down to it
and
they were in my face about it threatening that), but basically, don't be
afraid
of it. It's *very* likely a bluff, but even if they call, and EVEN IF
they have
a "friend" there, that friend would have to be mighty unprofessional to do
anything about a do***ented austistic child screaming because they know
him or
her.
And CPS is pretty tired of getting what's basically neighborhood noise
calls,
just like the ASPCA is. If there's an underlying real problem, fine, but
once
they find there isn't abuse, they walk away.
