In our screwed up system, she could have had dozens of kids taken for abuse but when she has a new one, they refuse to take hi because she hasn't abused him yet. Her track record means nothing. They will not protect the children from abusive parents. They wait until the abuse occurs and the damage is done.
I've seen it first hand in neighbors we had the misfortune to live next to.
All social services is interested in is protecting their jobs and cash flow from the government.
If she was declared mentally incompetent, I would expect she could be institutionalized.
Otherwise, laws just don’t allow people to be locked up until a crime is committed, and that is, very much, a net good.
Yikes!

It is the first priority of any agency and organization.
