Okay, since the mods all had their panties
in a wad over a site I referenced, I'm
attempting to post this again in a manner
that won't make them whine at me. So let's
try this again.

I think most of us are familiar with what
Child Protective Services is, but my
question is whether or not CPS' intentions
are all good. I realize CPS pulls children
out of dangerous or abusive homes, but I
have read hundreds of accounts of children
who were allegedly wrongly taken from
their homes, or taken from homes because
of false accusations or with no reason.
There is a whole website dedicated to
people who are currently fighting CPS
because they say their children got taken
when no abuse was going on. I can't link
directly to it, but if you go to this
address and click on the first result, you
will be able to access the archive that
the mods found to be sacreligious:

The stories of the wrongly punished people
are in the Guestbook section. I realize
that a lot of these stories are probably
construed in a way to make it seem like
the parents are totally innocent and that
CPS is the big bad evil force set out
solely to ruin families, but I can't
imagine they are all warped like that. By
the way, the stories are listed in the
Guestbook section of that site.
What do you think? Does CPS do more harm
than good? Do you think social workers
really only help children, or do some of
them abuse their power? Discuss.
