Nineteen years ago my brother married a woman with two children. A few years after that his stepson called CPS, or whatever they call it in NJ, and said he wasn't getting enough to eat. I think the stepson was about 14 (what boy ever gets enough to eat at that age). The social worker banged on my brother's door one evening and said she was investigating the case. After hearing the complaint my brother called the stepson down and told him to pack a suitcase because he was going with the nice lady from the state who had agreed to feed him. The caseworker left and he never heard from them again.
