I'm not going to weigh in on the legal side of things because I'm not a lawyer. However...I do practice medicine and I'm here to tell you that the nurse-maid's elbow is sooooo incredibly common it's not even a "red flag" in the ER. CPS has gone overboard...big time.
They call it "Nurse-maid's elbow" because it was first noticed with nannys (nurse-maids) who were picking kids up by their arm to lift them onto street curbs, stairs, etc. The child's radius is not fully formed and it can slip out from underneath a ligament that holds it in place near the elbow. It is fixed in a 3 second manipulation and the kid is usually back to normal before I can finish the discharge paperwork.
Get some expert medical info on Nurse-maid's and shut CPS down right out of the gate.
If you were talking about spiral fractures, broken bones, etc I'd say CPS is doing the right thing. But..nursemaids??!? Way over the top.
Hang in there, Buddy. I feel your pain..
the nurses elbow is not really that bad. the two violent situations are extremely bad. Cps will probably try to say the nurses elbow occured due to neglect and abuse because if there is violence like that occuring between the parents then the D is in danger.
KNIGHT has got to complete those cps reconciliation services or this could get really ugly
