Failing to answer my question and throwing up a straw man does not prove me wrong.
And my analogy is DEAD on, btw.

No, because in a public school the women do not live there with their children 24/7, they are not one big incestuous family, the teachers have not brainwashed the parents into instant obedience, they are not trading wives and children like trading cards, they are free to come and go as they please, the general public has access to the building,...

Nice try, but no cigar. CPS is dealing with this case as any case of alleged abuse. They went in, saw evidence of other abuse (pregnant teens), took the kids into protective custody until they could sort it out. This is SOP for them. All they ever need is an anonymous tip from a hotline provided for such a purpose. Nobody will ever know the ID of a caller in those situations. Someone could just go through the phone book and pick names out at random and no one’s the wiser.

Now the burden is on the mothers, once they figure out which child goes with whom, to show that they can and will protect their children from further abuse. God forbid that they send those kids back and some are killed as a result of punishment meted out. Then the authorities would again be castigated for doing that.

They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. The government just can’t do anything right for some people, who, BTW, have no better solution to this situation themselves. They’re just good at criticizing.
