I can't tell you the abuse I have seen by CPS. It almost seems like they make it their business to go after normal, decent parents and ignore the real offenders. It's scary.
Never, ever get involved in CPS in FL. They are power mad nanny state liberals waiting to destroy families. They hate homeschooling, people of faith and normal nuclear families. They may say, "Oh, that's not true" to that statement, but I have seen it too often. The proof is in the fruit.
I have personal experience with them prosecuting 3 close friends. Every one was an excellent family just dealing at the time with a severe stress. Defending themselves legally drained their resources and damaged the children.
Every case was dropped, because, finally, they were proved to be the witchhunts they really were. But it makes you want to cry, watching the state abuse of these powerless, innocent people. Heaven help the accused parent that can't afford a good lawyer.
I have seen it too many times. Thank God my kids are adults now. I have one friend that was actually told that if she didn't divorce her husband (of 30 years) that not only would her kids be taken away, but charges would be brought against her.
You preach to the choir, and you will have mail in a moment...
