When CPS gets it wrong, children suffer

[rambot]

The frustrating part in it is that CPS can never really defend their decisions (they are privy to more information than we see outside of courts) because of privacy and legal issue. And if they can't provide that information, yes, it will make them look baaaaaad.

I've been involved in cases where, if the public was aware of how the parents were REALLY behaving around their children, they wouldn't be so quick to pull the "CPS kidnapped that poor ladies kids!"

So much truth. That's what I've been saying. My family has fostered for most of my life & we've had kids who've been abused so horrifically but their parents make it out that they've never laid a finger on them they're just victims of evil CPS. We know the truth but we're not allowed to say it publicly cause of privacy, & CPS can't talk about it either. Most folks who are reasonable will stop & think things through but I've learned there's a lotta folks who are not willing to be reasonable. They make their minds up & that is that.
