Maybe you mispoke, but you sounded like you needed a tinfoil hat...
I suppose that is possible. Be that as it may, let me offer you a quote from Donna Shalala. These are her own words. The speech is from 1999 and can be found here. Here is a quote that appears near the end of the speech.
I realize that I'm preaching to the choir-because all of you here certainly make everyone's children your responsibility. We need to convince others that our young people are everyone's responsibility.
The rest of the speech is about exanding, at great expense, FEDERAL child welfare laws. Her justification for this expansion of federal power and reduction of parental rights are two specific stories of horrific abuse - just like the ones we are discussing here on FR.
This speech is just one example.
