This is right on the money- I divorced a **DIAGNOSED** psychopath, and CPS told me right to my face that they WOULD NOT talk to ANY neighbors, freinds, or relatives after I BEGGED them to... I asked them how they could then learn anything since ONE OF US had to be lying...

I was given custody in court after the (court appointed) doctors' diagnosis, and on nothing more then an accusation by my ex the CPS worker siad to me "well we are going to leave the children with her until we complete our investigation..."

I told her in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that I WOULD NOT be leaving my children there, after just being granted custody...

I then told her about my neighbor calling and saying my children were playing outside unsupervised and she told me one was HANGING BY HER NECK from her clothing on the swingset, and the CPS workers said "Oh yeah? that's the same thing SHE told ME" (Implying that therefore it must be a story we made up together...)

These people are TOO STUPID TO BE ALLOWED TO MAKE SUCH DECISIONS!!!

And from what I have heard/read many of these workers are single and/or have no children of their own. Must be a pre-requisite that they dislike children in order to break a family into pieces for the rest of their lives.

I agree to that 100%. My ex's wife has had a phsyc evaluation where she was proven to try to be someone that she is not, but yet CPS still gave her a permit, after having her kids taken pryor, to have a daycare in her home and be responsible enough to care for my children while their father is not home.
