[quote=Anonymous]Before I had kids, I would have said it's very unlikely a child would be removed without extremely good cause.  That's when I was a teacher and certain kids being abused was common knowledge and yet we couldn't get CPS to do anything other than "talk to" the parents, or at best give a warning.  Then I had my own child - a much-loved, spoiled, never-hit child.  And discovered that indeed some people literally have nothing better to do than call CPS or otherwise threaten parents and look for abuse where there is none.  We never had CPS at our door, but our school counselor and Kindergarten teacher made a huge stink over a drawing my son made of his father tickling him and a quote from a comedian "Let the beatings begin!" as well as just about anything else he did.  We got all kinds of threatening letters at home. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I'm a former K teacher and spoke up about the fact that my son's teacher had zero idea how to teach reading and was basically giving worksheets all day.  So I believe people who say they were unfairly targeted.[/quote]
