I have the latest versions of Macrotastics, BRY, BUY, sshack, etc. I actually saw the social worker on another lot earlier this evening so she does still come. Is it possible that the presence of a home business is keeping the SS from coming, and/or keeping the kid from dying?
No, but a nanny might cause that.
It might...except that there wasn't a nanny on this lot at the time. No need, as I had two pregnant Sims in the family at the time and there would always be someone at home.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just 'the way it is'.
I screwed up with my main legacy family. The youngest son had turned from a toddler into a child, but didn't get a chance to go to school before I switched houses. The other other house, some cousins, had a snow day. It was a good opportunity to take some pictures, so I summoned the other kids there, including the legacy house kids. Since only the house you're in is getting the snow day, the other kids are supposed to be in school (this is why I summoned rather than just invited). About halfway through taking pictures of the kids being cute in the snow, I got a message that Ian (the affected kid) had skipped school and lost a letter grade. Oh well.
Back in the main legacy house, through a series of stupid mistakes, I ran the lot debugger's 'Force Error' while the kids were at school. Little did I realize, this apparently knocks school out of their queue and sends them back home. It was too late in the day to drive them to school, and I ended up getting the message that Ian again had skipped school and lost a letter grade. This brought him down to F.
Luckily, his brother had good grades, so all was well with the world. Or so I thought.
That day also happened to be his brother's birthday. So, the elder brother turned into a teenager and suddenly I got the 'dun-de-dun' music and the social worker showed up to take Ian with her. Essentially, once the elder brother turned into a teenager, the house was no longer considered to have an equal or majority number of kids with good grades.
In the end, I quit without saving and went into SimPE and gave him a D+. I don't particularly like cheating with the main legacy house, but I wasn't about to lose a kid over my stupidity. Eitherway, I wasn't sure if this was a bug or, as I said above, 'just the way it is'.
J. M. Pescado:
Yup, just a nice combination of really bad moves: the "can't go to school" effect of moving in at 0800, the fact that your child aged up to a teen and thus was now ignored by the SS controller, and all those other factors combined together. With NL, you can take them to school even on move-in day using an ownable car, but without it, you're just screwed.

with InSIM you could have fixed his grade right away ;D

Yeah yeah yeah. :) I'm getting closer to downloading Insim. It sounds like it would just make life easier with a bunch of little things I'm doing constantly.
Thanks for answering, Pescado. I figured it was a 'just the way it is' type of thing, but thought I'd mention it.
