@dwhntx thank you for being honest and speaking the truth. Wish we had more people like you.
Matter of the fact is that when you give people a huge amount of power with little oversight stuff like that happens. I know people try to say that's the "exception" yeah that's fine. Tell that to the parents who's kid was basically abducted for no reason. Like with that example in Texas those dozen of so CPS workers handled tons of cases. They could have falsified information for hundreds of reports for all we know.
And you're right sad to say. There have been many times where kids in real need are ignored. While others they are removed for stupid reasons. There needs to be better oversight. So that CPS and bad foster parents aren't looking at children as a meal ticket/paycheck for themselves.
The worst part is how little recourse you have if CPS does come for you. They wield a huge amount of power without need for things such as a real investigation, warrant, real proof, etc. Only thing I hope is that with time people will see this and push for change.
