Pete Buttigieg says false CPS report temporarily separated him from his children

Pete Buttigieg and his husband were temporarily separated from their children after a false anonymous report to Children’s Protective Services alleged he admitted to violent crimes at a conference he did not attend. Investigations confirmed the report was false, and Buttigieg described the 24-hour separation as one of the darkest experiences of his life, calling it a politically motivated 'swatting' incident.
