[quote=Anonymous]My sister was very overwhelmed by parenting. She has a major mental illness and was sending her kids to school without coats. This is in the South, so, not a safety issue but a judgement call in a place without regular freezing temps. Someone (probably at the school) called it in to CPS and nothing really happened but a quick home visit. Keep in mind that you hear the most sensational cases, but many, many more people have an interaction with the system that does not become serious. To be real, in my sister's case, she did need a wakeup call as her house is very messy, but it would not have been better for her kids to lose their family. There are few situations where that is in the best interest of the kids. I really do think that we have a hair trigger on our foster care system even though my family interactions have been appropriately handled. The extreme cases are just too tragic.[/quote]
