I don't know how many time this has to be said, but no one has said that the CPS had no right to investigate. They just did not have the authority to presume, without evidence, as you apparently still do even after the Courts found otherwise, that the "environment" was dangerous. Actually a dangerous "environment" is not even the standard; a physical threat to the safety of each child is. And the CPS did not have authority to remove the children short of proving that they attempted the very thing they were ordered to do by the Texas Supreme Court and which they are doing now; namely, investigate while making every effort to keep each child in the child's home.
Out of hundreds of children seized and needlessly traumatized, the CPS has shown that only one removal was justified.
None of this should be construed in any way to condone, approve or attempt to justify or excuse any potential crimes comitted by any of the adults.
Cordially,
“Out of hundreds of children seized and needlessly traumatized, the CPS has shown that only one removal was justified.”
In the case of the indictments, the number of removals justified has gone up to about five or six.
Other than that, I pretty much agree.
Oops. One other thing.
“And the CPS did not have authority to remove the children “
The TXSC overturned the ruling of the Judge, who had authorized CPS to remove the children. So, they had judicial authority when they removed them.
A physical threat to the safety of each child is Actually a dangerous “environment” .
