I’m cool with hearing out both sides. I realize that most people have a quick reaction when they see a kid crying and screaming, and in another place or time, I would be right with them seeking medical attention (which I did do at the first safe opportunity).
I also have some background in knowing the people that go into professions such as CPS - they seem driven by a desire to SAVE CHILDREN from parental abuse (real or imagined), and it is a total obsession with them, to the point that it scares the hell out of normal people (such as myself), that don’t consider a scraped-up knee as a sign of neglect.
[and in some cases (maybe most cases) their performance is measured by how many kids they bring in]
So, in the end, I’d rather not have to deal with this bunch, I dealt with them enough in college (psych majors, as they called themselves)...and that was enough for a lifetime.
Yes, we see a couple of those types here on this thread, and it should wake other parents to the danger.
