CPS can, and will, report on the 'voluntary' treatments of parents/guardians. Someone can voluntarily go to psychiatric appointments, but if there is a CPS involvement, that 'voluntary' act is now a supporting factor. In other words, CPS reports 'Parent voluntarily submitted to outpatient treatment,' and it becomes part of the permanent file. The ONLY way to have no CPS file/report once an investigation has been initiated, is to have a result of No Finding, and then to have your name redacted from every report. It takes petitioning the state to get the redaction. And, IIRC, un-redacted investigations, whether there was a finding or not, remain in the state files for 5-7 years.
