CPS are generally sinister little different than Gulag Bureaucrats

Social workers and Child Protective Services are in an absolute no-win situation... if they take a child from a family before something horrific happens, then it is always premature and baseless and purely conjectural. If they wait until after something horrific happens, then they are at fault for negligence for not acting sooner. The children taken from the homes are almost always resentful, and the foster system is over-flowing with abusive and negligent host families. The children not taken from the homes feel abandoned and are open to even more abuse, since CPS came in and did nothing. Personally, I think it is a mistake to have CPS at all, but since the vast majority of Americans seem to want it to exist, we also need to be fully aware that CPS can almost never have a successful ending to the deplorable and disgusting situations that they have to deal with, nor can they ever win any points with anyone for tearing a family apart... not to mention the emotional and spiritual toll that it takes on those who choose that career path, in a sincere effort to try to help children who really need help.

I think the social workers should stand trial. I do wonder though why law enforcement did not arrest the parents for child abuse on at least some of the several times they were called to the home. I am not sure how it all works but it would seem to me the officers should have made arrests, the social workers may not be the only ones that dropped the ball.

Social workers have a financial inducement to remove white children from their parents.

For every child they adopt out, the FedGov gives them money. People want to adopt white children; there is a lot of money to be made there.

Social workers do not have a financial inducement to remove hispanic or black children from their parents, because no one wants to adopt them, and thus they are ignored by social workers.

It is morally wrong, but it is true.
