In reply to Procopius. Yes, other lying social workers took them away from the mothers. Its a vicious cycle.

The operative words here are “Government” & “Government Officials”. Their rights are protected and that is why there are no names attached to the story. Too bad the victims rights weren’t protected. The point here is to remember the old adage “Two wrongs make a Government Official”.

In reply to ras.

They lied. Nobody told them they couldn’t.

What, they didn't have mothers?

In reply to Rxc. They didn't know that violating the oath was a no-no.

Didn’t they have to take an oath to tell the truth before they testified?

One of two things must be true:
1) They genuinely did not know that it is wrong, if not illegal, to lie and make up false evidence in court.
2) They knew it was wrong, but did not care.

If 1) is true, then none of them should be allowed to keep their positions of authority and intrusion into private lives.

If 2) is true, then all of them should be charged and tried for blatant perjury, which should also cost them their positions.
