On the contrary, having had a friend have his children TAKEN AWAY by psychotic CPS workers because of hearsay of hearsay (that is, someone overheard talking about something THEY had overheard from someone else) about an alleged event that would already have been beyond the statute of limitations anyway, and having a wife whose mother was reported to CPS when she (my wife) managed to leave a chain-link fence impression on her own face due to the stupidity of youth, AND having a friend who owns a daycare who can’t get a single child (who really is being sexually molested) even CHECKED by CPS (whom sh IS legally obligateed to report to…), I am QUITE aware of the unConstitutional nightmare and outright evil that is Child Protective [sic] Services as we know it today.

Best of intentions, you know.

If you’ll note in my post, I specifically excepted “telling the hairstylists to report everything to … [any] state agency”, as that would be problematic.

I suggest you’ve never had to worry that someone would report you to social services because your 6 year old daughter managed to break her leg one week then, running around like an idiot with her leg in a cast, manages to knock two of her teeth out.

I couldn’t count the number of times I heard my wife telling someone what had happened to our daughter, and then notice that they kept eyeing me as if they expected me to sprout fangs.

Alas, no. Probably the (likely white male) journalist who might render such treatment can’t get a job in journalism to begin with. There’s a chance that such writing is an indication of, well, a controlling and violent personality.

It’s when they start telling the hairstylists to report everything to the police (or CPS or some other state agency) that the problems start.
