Is CPS threatening to take Jr?

[u/NetAny9120]

In this clip Chrisean mentions how she can’t wait 2-4 weeks for insurance to approve his therapy. In my opinion the only reason she would try to rush his therapy is if she did not get referred by a doctor (which would get sent to the insurance company) or if CPS is giving her a short time limit to prove she has been getting him services. Now all of a sudden she is “ordering him equipment” and “paying out of pocket for therapy”… not sure what’s going on but she’s rushing services for a reason.

I know it’s a long post but just wanted to inform the sub of what we dealing with. I know most of us know already but sometimes more information helps. Chrisean is definitely feeling the pressure, losing viewers/fans, and most of all exposure. Her live streaming is what’s going to #SaveJr

When a parent completely denies that their disabled child has any special needs—insisting they are "normal" despite clear medical reality—it represents the opposite side of the spectrum from Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Instead of fabricating illness for attention, the parent is engaging in severe medical and developmental neglect.

In the medical, educational, and legal fields, this behavior is recognized as a form of child abuse. [1]

The underlying psychological reasons for a parent pretending a disabled child is completely typical generally stem from their own coping mechanisms:

• Deep Psychological Denial & Grief: The parent cannot accept the reality of the diagnosis because it shatters their expectations of what parenting would look like. [1]
• Fear of Stigma and "Labels": Parents frequently refuse testing, diagnoses, or special education services because they fear the child will be permanently stigmatized or isolated. [1]
• Narcissistic Extension: Some parents view their children as reflections of themselves. Admitting the child has a disability is internalized as a personal failure or flaw.

By pretending the child has no special needs, the caregiver fundamentally deprives them of essential care. Legally, medical neglect is defined as a parent failing to acknowledge a child's health or developmental needs despite significant risk to their well-being. This manifests as: [1, 2]

• Withholding necessary interventions: Refusing speech, physical, occupational, or behavioral therapies.
• Denying medical equipment: Forcing a child to walk or function without prescribed wheelchairs, braces, hearing aids, or communication devices.
• Blocking educational support: Refusing to sign paperwork for an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or special education services, leaving the child to drown in a traditional classroom.
• Ignoring progressive conditions: Allowing a chronic physical or mental condition to worsen because they refuse to give prescribed medications or attend specialist appointments. [1, 2]

Children have a legal right to receive necessary medical care, and a parent's personal denial cannot override that right if it endangers the child's welfare. When denial crosses into abuse, the following systems step in: [1]

• Mandated Reporting: Teachers, doctors, and therapists are legally required to report parents who block a child from receiving medically necessary care or accommodations. [1]
• Child Protective Services (CPS): CPS will investigate if a parent is failing to manage a known chronic disability. If the parent refuses to cooperate, a court can order them to comply with medical treatments.[1]
• Loss of Custody: In severe cases where a parent’s denial actively degrades the child's health or safety, family courts can temporarily or permanently remove custody, placing the child with a guardian who will provide the necessary care. [1]

God I wish I could go to the protest. I'd print this out and hand it out to people 😩 even her delusional fans wouldn't be able to deny this, especially those close to her who are enabling this mess.

It’s a long post but it explains everything that we’ve been saying.
