This one is triggering and embarassing which is why I made it anonymous. I have had multiple people threaten to call CPS on me because of my childs volume. (He is a toddler.) One of them was someone who was exremely hypocritical assumed the worst and tried to accuse me of "medical neglect". There was none. The others were people claiming that "I have no control over my child" because he was too loud. One of them even tried to accuse me of beating my child when I dont. I do not beat, spank or hit my child in any way. They were roommates who were just trying to get me kicked out because they thought my child was loud all the time. I have even caught them video taping me and my child whenever he got loud or whenever he had tantrums. I was not paranoid. The person who I paid rent to even admitted to me that the other roommates were recording us. She admitted it in text. I also caught her lying about it because a few months before that she lied saying "Nobody is recording you or taking pictures of you. They even showed me their camera roll." (They probably deleted the pics/videos before they showed her) but then a few months later she said "They have plenty of pictures of you and your child. You can't control your child!" Ironically, those same people who reported me or threatened to report me were people who were hypocrites and who did not have custody of their own kids or they beat their own kids (i heard it) or both. One of them even told me they think I should spank my child. (I don't) its almost as if that person was trying to set me up.
Btw: CPS never took my child. I have full custody of my son and I always have. When CPS spoke to me they took my side with each call. I knew I was innocent. They even agreed with me that a lot of his behaviours were common for his age. One of them even said "He looks fine" when she looked at him. It is scary that some people would threaten CPS to people just to intimidate them. Also, i moved. I don't live with those roommates anymore.
Am I the only one who has gone through something like this? I live with a distant family member now but even he is starting to get fed up with my son. Even if its in the daytime. I feel like I panic anytime my kid is loud now because then I worry about either being asked to leave or another cps threat. I am just extremely traumatized by the situation. I know it is common for kids to act worse for their moms than for anyone else but this is scaring me.

It was not just my old roommates either. I have had times in the past where employees have asked me to leave a store if my kid got too loud even if it was only for a few minutes. I have also noticed that it happens more if I go somewhere without another adult. If it is just me and my kid without anyone else people are meaner to me. But when i have another adult with us people are nicer to me.
