Sadly, it is the government itself who is doing the terrorizing. Government needs to STAY OUT of the child protection business. They've proved themselves harmful, inept and autocratic in every country where a protective service agency exists. Because ultimately what happens is that "authorities" think they and their ideas are better for the children in the country than the ideas and will of the childrens' parents. There may be some bad parents out there, but not enough to generate the draconian interventions that we see in place today.

@Iturner yahhh, you are also right...
