I know someone whose daughter called Social Services claiming she had been abused (after her father disciplined her for disobedience). They came knocking at the door but when the girl realized that she would be taken away from her family she quickly changed her story. After conversing with the neighbours and other witnesses the lady from SS (!) said the girl could stay.

Now here is where it got interesting. The father said, no she won't be staying here tonight. If she wants to call SS then let her go with SS. Needless to say the social worker wasn't happy but took the girl overnight. As for the young lady? She never gave them any more problems after that (as far as I know).

Extreme yes but with such rulings above what should a parent do?
