As we speak, I am working with authorities to get my grandson out of a bad family situ. How do we get CPS types to do their jobs without becoming Jack-boots?
How indeed?
Try and work with the CPS agent that is the least idealistic, and has the most common sense. Of course this will rule out the highly educated ones.

You can’t. Government agencies are worst than useless. They’ll take your kids away for the dumbest reasons but will leave kids who are actually in peril to suffer.
Good luck and our prayers are with you. Trying to do the right thing.
