[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest concern is protecting the abuser? [/quote]

Uh no.  It’s not ruining the parents life and destroying a family over what is likely a minor event.  [/quote]

Thanks, ass. I’m the PP whose father did this to her many times in her life and her parents hid it to “protect him.” I hope you realize that you will probably rot in hell for not realizing how damaging and wrong it is for an adult to act out in violence toward a child. It is never okay. Do not minimize it. That is messed up. I am guessing you have hit your kids and are trying to justify it. [/quote]

I’m sorry about what happened to you. No one is saying this is okay, including the father who did it. That’s why he agreed to counseling. But it doesn’t mean the state needs to investigate it. [/quote]

The state steps in when the parents who are legally responsible for keeping their child safe are not doing their job.

They are not just being nosey. Paid professionals are having to take over this role because you and your husband were  not up to the task. That is the sad truth.[/quote]

Your naïveté about how child services and the foster care system actually work is evident. As a foster care survivor, I would have have been better off with my mother. Many adult foster care survivors will tell you the same thing.[/quote]

Lots of foster care survivors will tell you that the biggest problem with the system for them was the emphasis on reunification. It can be devastating. I was taken away by CPS for a few days and it did no good at all, but my sister's three children were in and out of the foster system for years until she finally lost her parental rights and they were adopted. They would have been better off if my sister had had only one or two chances. The fact is that some parents just are not up to the task. [/quote]
