I ran across one peer-reviewed study (too lazy to look it up presently) which indicated that the ratio of false charges to true by CPS-type caseworkers was about six false for every true.

Full Disclosure: Don't remember the study well enough to know if it blamed that on incompetence, "making quota", or sexual allegations in divorce.

No cheers, unfortunately.

I don’t doubt it.

I think that the one thing that would help towards reforming our ENTIRE legal system is: sanctions for irresponsibility or malice. I was taken to court once, raved to my lawyer about some sort of penalty for “frivolous lawsuits,” and was informed that (basically) the phrase is legally meaningless. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Win or not, those thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours are gone, gone, gone.

So I’m thinking along the lines of Deuteronomy 19:16-21. No surprise, but I see a lot of wisdom in that legislation.
