Precedent isn't being set, it's being followed.

What the CPS is doing here is very typical for social services except for the scale.

All it takes for this to be you is an anonymous tip on a hotline from ANYONE at all. Not even a cry for help from someone who says it's happening to herself. Someone can pick your name out of the phone book. You will never know who did it for two reasons; one is the anonymity, and the other is, even if social services knows, they won't tell you.

When they get a tip, they HAVE to investigate. It doesn't matter if it's anonymous or not and if there's anything more that a vague accusation, like the kids listen to Christian music and eat dry Cheerios. (For real-FR thread on that one).

If you let them in the door, you're toast. If you refuse to co-operate, they'll go to the school your kid attends and interview them there without your knowledge or permission. If they so choose, they will take them from there and put them in foster care and you won't have a clue where they are, because they won't tell you.

What I don't get is why people are so horrified about this and acting like it's the first time any thing like this has ever happened before. It happens all the time.

Read what you wrote. That is Nazi Germany. That is Stalin's USSR. That is Vietnam's re-education camps. And Waco was Auschwitz.

I know what I wrote. This is what’s happening in the US right now. What rock have you been living under?

So now that you’ve tried to deflect the argument to avoid answering the question.

You claimed that this is all a hoax and fraud.

How do you know?

Sources please?

If you don’t like this little dose of reality, try reading “Anonymous Tip” by my former classmate Mike Farris.

It’s at least 10 years old.
He wrote it as fiction, but about the only thing he changed from reality were the names.
