8. One detail seems to be different - the supposed confession was "several years ago", and so not about his children

See https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143685291 - "The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk"

Whatever the "crimes" he was supposed to have confessed to were, I guess they involved children, or CPS wouldn't have had the nerve to separate his children from him and question them.

Yes, it's all a ridiculous heap of hearsay, and I think they must have found someone very homophobic and/or anti-Democrat in CPS for them to have tried this. This was in Michigan, as far as I can tell; I hope there's an investigation on how this got to separating his children from him for a day.
