CPS was allowed to ban Pete Buttigieg from being alone with his 4-year-old children — after an anonymous caller claimed he confessed to “unspeakable violent crimes” in a town in Alabama he has never set foot in.

This week, a CPS team arrived at the Buttigieg home in Michigan and said an allegation had been made about the twins and he was not to be alone with the children until an interview the next day.

Pete and his husband Chasten sent their two 4-year-olds to their grandparents overnight.

They didn’t know where the accusation came from. They didn’t even know what it said.

“The 24 hours until they returned are among the darkest hours of my life,” he wrote. He had consented to let strangers interview his own children, over something so serious he couldn’t be alone with them, with no idea why.

Then he found out what the accusation ACTUALLY was.

An anonymous man called CPS and said he’d spoken to a woman who claimed she met Buttigieg at a conference in Alabama years ago, where he supposedly admitted to violent crimes. That was the entire basis. Buttigieg told the officer he had never even been to the town.

The officer said plainly he believed it was politically motivated, and it would not be referred to any prosecutor. The forensic interview with the children turned up nothing. Michigan State Police confirmed the report was false and condemned it, warning that fake reports pull workers away from children who actually need protecting.

I understand investigating each case, but they went too far.

This shouldn’t have ever happened where CPS was able to separate those children for 24hrs and undergo invasive questioning

Meanwhile, I’ve made reports with much more evidence and absolutely nothing has come from it. The inconsistency among how each case is screened and investigated is concerning to say the least.
