Confused by the letter from Child Protective Services

We got our letter today, notifying us that the case has been closed.  While that's great news, I'm confused by what I read.

When we were interviewed by the CPS worker, they told us that we were accused of not taking our kids to the doctors. That has been our understanding until reading this letter.

This letter states that we were accused of *emotional maltreatment and neglect*.

Color me confused...........

Maybe that's a generic term for not taking your kids to the doctors?

Either way, we've been cleared and I feel like our good name has been restored. I will say that I wouldn't wish what we've been through on anyone.  Ours wasn't even that bad compared to many other innocent families forced to submit to Child Protective Services because of a spite call.

Here's the letter we received.  I redacted the investigators names, phone numbers and our home address.  The rest is there for you to see.  I did crop the page a bit to make it fit better.
