Spiff, relax. I take care of children of cocaine and heroin users; one who took her baby home and killed her with breast milk laced with heroin.
This has nothing to do with home schoolers. Butch is right on this one.
Butch is WRONG on this one. Already, I've seen CPS bully their way into innocent families' homes and take their children. In one case the fair-skinned son had a quarter-sized bruise near his buttocks (caused when he and his friends were playing light sabers with PVC pipes) and CPS ended up taking all three children (no other abuse was even suspected) for three years. The children ended up in terrible foster circumstances including unlicensed foster homes. The very young girls were repeatedly subjected to gynecological examinations, the family paid thousands of dollars in legal expenses and submitted to intrusive measures and therapy. In the end CPS finally admitted that all allegations (there were never any formal criminal charges) were meritless and returned the very damaged children to the family.
This was not an isolated incident. CPS already has too much power when it comes to taking children - they certainly don't need more.
