There's a good reason for that. And know this; in some cases, if a parent has been accused by DSS, he or she has fewer rights than a bona fide terrorist. A quick review of the treatment of unwed mothers in this country in the 1960s makes that as plain as day.
What greater terror can exist for a parent than to lose their children? If the classical definition is used (one using terror to achieve a political goal), then these bureaucrats aren't just coming off as terrorists, they ARE terrorists.
And.......you are surprised by this?
