DSS...
The last two letters there fit perfectly. SS.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I've had twenty years (my whole life) of experience dealing with DSS (or CPS). I've seen it all.

The entire system needs to be figuratively nuked and built from scratch.

I can't even begin to express the digust I feel for this particular governmental agency. It is, in my opinion, the worst of the worse.

Statist and socialistic doesn't even begin. Try liars and hypocrites, too...among other things. One day, when I can do so without giving myself an ulcer, I'll write about my experiences. At this point it would burn up the screen.
