There is nowhere near enough information in this article to make a decision either way, but one of the easiest areas where the state can greatly overstep their bounds in the area of parenting.

If these kids are being seriously mistreated, I'm happy to see them taken away from their parents, but I won't take the state's word for it.

where the state can greatly overstep their bounds in the area of parenting.

No argument with you there. I never maimed or injured my children, but I had no problem with busting their butts. I am sure these days, I would be sitting in a jail. However, my kids grew up decent and honest, which is more than I can say for the permissive parents who were always making excuses for their little darlings.
