CPS is a joke. Idiot Mother and illegal dad, who “raised” a 17 yr old yute who dropped out two years ago, across the way from me have a visit from the fuzz at least 3 times a month and CPS has been there at least ten times. Nothing happens. Total waste of taxpayer funds and police manpower
This “joke” is an industry unto itself, a way to redistribute taxpayer money to gubmint workers (the cops and CPS).
Years ago our worst sh!tholes in NJ threatened the public assistance of the parents (actually the single mothers) of children who routinely skipped school. It got them back into school, but that just made the environment worse for anyone actually trying to teach or learn.
