The kids are still here, and the social worker is gone.
She came and talked to us today, our conversation underscored by the sound of happy child-play in the back bedroom. The kids came out from time to time to see who we were talking with, then returned to their fun after I shooed them away.
The caller had said that Ladybug was 9 (she's 12, just small). That could partially explain why we keep getting reported about "little kids" being outside.
We have filed a police report for harassment as well, since we seem to be on a roll. Seems we don't need to know who is harassing us, the police will search that out for us. *smile*
The house is nearly perfect, and we will continue to work on the hidden places (closets still need sorted, drawers need rearranged) over the next week or so. Still too busy to do much else than keep up with what we currently have going on and what we have to do around the citystead. No time to stay home and clean for a full day. *sigh*
Thank you all so very much for your support and well wishes. It really helped us to get through this.
But the kids are safe, and that's all that matters.

Well, stage three, would be when I finally get this person to stop calling social services on us. It has already started (with the harassment report filed to the police) and hopefully that will be enough to do the job. If not, I have other (kind, polite, official) channels I can utilize for the desired effect. I would just rather not use them.
Thanks for being there for us.
