I cannot agree more your opinion of the Child Protective Services.
I'd be willing to bet from the way this woman has lived her life that she's been in trouble with Social Services before.
The way she's lived her life:
Larceny
Alcohol
3 license suspensions
Stripping
Bad Conduct (General Discharge) Military
DWIs
Assault
a Drug charge
Where did the drug charge come from? Got a link for that?
