-a very worried 🥄🥝

Uhm this is a very concerning ask to get and I'm unsure?? I know CPS is usually pretty ass but depends how bad the situation is and how old your friend is?

“N-No? We take very good care of Mimi though! She’s really happy here with us,she’s not unhappy, or she would’ve told us already! …We...need paperwork to keep a child? B-But Mimi isn’t illegal, right? I think?”

Tenna rubs his arm, looking a little embarrassed, while the child casts worried glances at her two dads, then at the other monster who seems to be making her tall dad uncomfortable. What exactly is going on? And why do this monster want her to go with them?

“I’m not neglected! I love both my dads!”

Mimi protests, puffing out her cheeks, then glances at her other father, whose glasses briefly fill with static. He snaps out of it after shaking his head, his gaze settling on Tenna, then on his daughter… before finally letting out a sigh.

[For: you] …You’re probably right, we didn’t get this child legally (since I can’t made one, haehae). And maybe Mimi belongs somewhere else,the dump isn’t a good place to raise a child, I’ve known that since the day we were given her egg.

And maybe because he knew that sooner or later, this kind of problem would come up.

And anyway, I suppose that even if I say no, you’ll take her by force, right? I’m just a simple mailman, and my partner isn’t in any condition to fight, haehaehae![Sincerely, Spamton G Spamton]

“Spamton? We’re not going to…?”

“I don’t want to go with them! I want to stay here! Dad, say something!”

Sure! When I was 6-7, we moved to CO so my dad could go to grad (?) school, and lived in this co-op esque place. Which meant there were a few rules, one being not to smoke. Our neighbor, an old white guy, did not follow this rule.

My dad pointed it out or told him to stop, something along those lines (I was 7, okay). There's kids here, after all. And my dad is visibly brown. Old white guy did not like being told to stop smoking by a brown man.

So, he reported my dad to the police for having inappropriate photos/videos of my sister and I (2 and 7, at the time; light enough to pass as white). His evidence? Vibes. (Little more to it, but the key component is there was literally nothing to find because he made it up!!)

Unfortunately, he reported this to the co-op police instead of city, and they never got anything interesting, so they jumped at this. Confiscated all our home videos, searched the apartment, etc. Took months longer than they should've to complete the investigation. And also called CPS

There was a whole debacle about actually getting in contact with CPS, because we were out of town when they wanted to come by, which the investigators said wouldn't be a problem, but apparently was! because CPS thought my parents were avoiding them and it made them much more aggressive and suspicious when we got back from out of town and realized Oh Fuck they were calling and coming by and we didn't know !!

but anyway. they finally come by when we're home, and they take little me aside to question me. ask me whether I like my parents, if there's anything I don't like, what I wish they wouldn't do, any secrets, standard is this kid being abused questions (i was not).

by the end they realize...uh. these kids are fine. nothing's going on here. and all the videos the police confiscated turn up completely fine. on account of the accusations were literally all made up. no legal action taken, investigation closed, etc.

we, however, did not stick around. moved again immediately, and my dad never did finish (or even start...?) those studies. we were in CO for less than a year, and the investigation was like...7-8 months? so it must've started pretty soon after we moved in
