I haven't noticed that we have a policy of taking any children from anyone who is arrested or that we find has a criminal record.

CPS takes children from child abusers. And there is no doubt that Madelyn Toogood abused her child; she's admitted to doing so.

Actually, that's not true; only some "abusers" have their children taken away. We are as even handed in those policies as we are in judging criminals. The vast majority of abusers, at the discretion of social services, get their children back after they jump through the right hoops. It just seems that folks here want to decide that some people aren't eligible to jump hoops. No bruises doesn't sound life threatening to me, which is the usual basis for removal from home situation.
