In other words a school should not be sending home a note asking a parent to come into a CPS office. The school would be interviewed regarding the child and that would be the end of their involvement.

Yes, that part is very weird. The CPS worker would normally contact the parent via mail or telephone or a visit to the house. Not via the school.

I always hesitate to comment on situations regarding CPS because I get branded a conspiracy nut but really, you
would not believe the things I have seen and experienced and I am not alone in that.
They will say whatever they want to say to get the results they are after.
They are not bound by the same sort of rules and "burden of proof" that the normal legal system would lead one to count on.
If there is any money available for an attorney I would recommend contacting one right away but there are many attorneys who are useless when dealing with CPS so you have to be particular.
She (the mother) should be able to get a copy of whatever it is she signed if she needs one. Probably a 'safety plan'.
You can dm me if you want, I can give you a link to a website where there are forums, attorney recommendations, etc. for this sort of situation.
