The problem comes from agencies trying to avoid charges of discrimination.
Ghetto moms might neglect children to the extent of staying out all night, not feeding them, etc. But if DFCS disproportionately goes after black welfare moms, they have big trouble. So they have to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy against white middle-class families, in order to make their numbers work out.

Passing laws by themselves isn’t going to do it. But every small thing helps, so in that context this new law is a step? But my fear is that EVERY law in the end comes back to bite us no matter how well intentioned.
It might go to the issues of freedom and responsibility. We can be free(with responsibilities) or slaves. It is easy to make slaves.
Freedom is an ember in a dying fire.
On final thought, I do see a solution but no one likes it. Biblical history teaches what the solution is, but it is not a permanent cure as long as there is history.
