I smell it too. You must be an old farm boy too.
B.S.? Oh, maybe.......but I highly doubt it. I've seen and heard enough horror stories of CPS abuses that make this example pale in comparison.
$15/hour bureaucrats with minimal education given the sort of power allowed CPS units around the country tend to abuse of such power on a regular basis. They haven't a clue what they're really in their positions to do; most have the IQ of yer average burger flipper.
The devastation wrought by these so-called "social services" types is incredible. Yet.....REAL abuse abounds underneath their noses and goes unchallenged.
B.S.? Hardly.
