I'm not sure if I should step in.

My daughter is neurodivergent and still adjusting to a new school, even though we have been living here for about nine months. She had many friends at her old school, but for months now, she hasn’t played with anyone at recess or eaten with anyone during lunchtime. I had one or two years like this and got over it . I don’t think this will get better this year and even my daughter says it may be the same next year.

If this is truly the right decision for you and your son, then be as kind as you can. Do it at a time when you know she is sober and/or lucid and think about who you could call afterward—a best friend or family member of hers—to support her if needed. Accept with grace that you might end up being the bad guy in her, and her family’s, narrative.

And don’t worry; in my experience, having kids throws you into the deep end of all kinds of experiences around the human body. I’m sure you’ll find your way naturally via the trial-by-fire nature of childrearing.I live in an apartment building in New York City. On a near daily basis, from inside my apartment with the door closed, I hear screaming from the parents and wailing and crying from the young girls next door.

If the abuse continues, particularly if it escalates in severity, I don’t think there’s any rule against calling CPS again. You can even ask the person you speak to for guidance on when/whether repeat reports are constructive.Ultimately, this might be all you can do, which I know is demoralizing.
