That's not entirely true. It really depends on the attitude of the social worker toward what the claimed abuse is, and I suspect the age of the child and relationship to the person making the claim.
All it took for my aunt to lose her adopted daughter was her evil ex-husband claiming in the divorce papers that she had shaken the baby. CPS came and took the child immediately, and though the claim was proven to be false she never saw the girl again.
