Notes On CPS (Child Protective Services)

Tweet

I have heard horror stories about CPS (Child Protective Services) in the United States. As their name implies, they are supposed to be a line of defense for children in bad situations, like abusive homes. However, I have heard of cases where they essentially KIDNAPPED children from loving homes on mere accusations alone. I would not call CPS to intervene in situations where I suspected abuse. I'd call the police directly & let THEM handle it, bypassing CPS entirely. I just don't trust CPS as an agency.
