First 72 hours
- Get it in writing. Ask for allegations, statutes, and policy basis in writing. Keep copies.
- Narrow any interview. Offer a short, scheduled interview with a witness present; record where lawful.
- No on‑the‑spot safety plans. Ask to review in writing; avoid waiving rights under pressure.
- Document everything. Names, dates, badge IDs, summaries. Send a same‑day recap email.
- If urgent: Ask the court for guidance and for counsel appointment where allowed.
When DSS/CPS knocks
- Door script: “I respect your work. I’m happy to cooperate in writing. Please leave your business card and written allegations. I will respond promptly.”
- If they insist on entry: “Do you have a court order or emergency? If so, may I see it?” Absent that, you generally can decline entry.
- Offer a scheduled meeting with a witness present.
- Never sign anything you do not understand; request time to review.
Records & evidence

- Preserve texts, voicemails, school/medical records, and screenshots.
