Comments on: Walk-from-park abuse charge “unsubstantiated,” CPS to track parents anyway https://www.overlawyered.com/2015/03/walk-from-park-abuse-charge-unsubstantiated-cps-to-track-parents-anyway/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Fri, 06 Mar 2015 04:37:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: John Fembup https://www.overlawyered.com/2015/03/walk-from-park-abuse-charge-unsubstantiated-cps-to-track-parents-anyway/comment-page-1/#comment-320263 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 04:37:39 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=51854#comment-320263 If this is a legitimate government action, doesn’t it mean every parent in the United States today is guilty of unsubstantiated child neglect?

For that matter doesn’t it mean everyone in the United States today is guilty of any arbitrary number of unsubstantiated crimes?

If so, then isn’t it reasonable to reflect sadly that our government has gained the power to do things like this (a) because the people gave the power to them and/or (b) because the government that the people elected seized the power with no objection from the people or the media?

I’m pretty sure no one can point to any time in history when a government did not actually, you know, use the powers that it had. I’m also pretty sure no one can point to any time in history when a government gave back any of its powers to its people. If this monstrosity stands in Montgomery County, it will be a very bad sign.

Among the charges available might be “kidnaping under color of law.”
