Really appreciate some advice - malicious rumours!!!

[Creole]

I've been accused by one of my neighbours of reporting her to social services.

Apparently, she got told by another neighbour that it was me, because myself and my brother work for the government.

Well, it wasn't me and I've told her that, but I am trying to find out who told her it was me.

My question is, do SS investigate based on just one phone call?

I mean it could be a malicious phonecall, how do they decide which call is geniune.

I want to prove that it wasn;t me...

I don't know what do you suggesst, I'm so angry

Any help gratefully recieved.

Yes SS might investigate on the basis of one phone call, depending on what was said, what their policies are, how overworked they are, etc.

It's true it could be a malicious phone call, and any sensible social worker would be aware of that. If they investigate and discover everything is OK with the family, they wouldn't do anything further.

My dp is a social worker, so I know way too much about this stuff.
