The former United States Secretary of Transportation, 44, revealed a CPS worker and a Michigan state trooper arrived at his home "a few days ago," after a false report, in a Substack post on Friday, June 26.

A Michigan State Police spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that an officer and CPS "responded and determined the report was false," adding, "False reports are dangerous and divert law enforcement officers and Child Protective Services workers from responding to legitimate emergencies and protecting vulnerable children and families."

Authorities told Buttigieg there was an "allegation" against him concerning Joseph August "Gus" and Penelope Rose, whom he and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, adopted in 2021. Buttigieg added he was told by a child protective services worker that he could not be "alone" with his 4-year-old twins while they were interviewed.

A "forensic interview" was arranged for Gus and Penelope on the next day, the trooper and CPS worker told Buttigieg. Neither Buttigieg nor any family member could be present for the interview. He would only learn the "nature of the allegation" after his own interview, Buttigieg wrote.

1. Sue everyone involved with these unfounded accusations!

3. As long as the person reporting this only spoke with the authority's then they have qaulified immunity.

It's the same law as reporting a person for any alleged crime to police can't sue you for it. If they go to newspapers to allege the crime then they could possibly sue you. We don't want people to be sued for reporting a neighbor for allegedly beating their spouse in the street to 911. Just sayin...

6. Even if they lied? Because I'm guessing the accuser doesn't know Pete or his family

So how could they make a legitimate allegation?

7. As long as they solely speak to the authorities then they have qualified immunity.

CPS can put the caller in a vengeful or lying category so if they call again they will be ignored. But Pete & family can not sue the complaining party. It sucks but the government sees it as not allowing the person who has harmed a child from not being investigated and prosecuted. There is a method to the governments madness.

2. The big picture repercussions from this....

that comes to mind....It is that if this can fly by without consequences to the politically motivated criminal act against Pete Buttigieg and family; then it places question on all CPS calls....good or bad calls..... The CPS reputation is thus going to always be in question.

4. Note: "a false report, in a Substack post"

Authorities need to do a better job evaluating such tangential reports.
