I'm sure it can vary. My friend was the subject of a CPS investigation in Philly - a neighbor heard her son crying and he bruised easily. She felt that CPS conducted the investigation professionally and closed it out quickly. That's not to say others may not have had a bad experience, but in some cases, CPS does its job well.

Thus proving that point that reasonable parents should be aware they could be investigated by CPS at any time. [/quote]

So what?  I'm fine with that, if CPS is following up on complaints, they will be more likely to identify situations where there is actually abuse and/or neglect.[/quote]

Because in the upthread people were saying they don't do anything wrong so they don't fear CPS knocking on their door. It's an ignorant position, and in theory I agree, it may be all well and good for CPS to be able to follow-up on citizen complaints. However, they often do way more than just follow up, as seen here, by taking children who can obviously communicate they want to go home to a crisis center without dinner. CPS is broken across the country. I'm not suggesting their job is easy, but I also don't believe they all are competent and do their jobs well.[/quote]
