I disagree with your take. The fact is that children are removed from their homes based on allegations alone before any trial to remove parental rights. The removals can be (and are being) done autocratically, leaving their parents playing defense based only on allegations, not proof.
The article is calling out the system's real injustice, which protects the most corrupt who hide behind a veil of altruism. The article does not say all cases are like this. I'm sure the CPS system has good people, you sound like you may be one of them and if so thank you for holding the line and doing good, and I'm glad that abandoned babies can be taken care of, but the pervasive corruption of the system is real and deserves to be not only highlighted but destroyed.
We simply disagree on how to destroy it.
Destroy from within.
That's fair. Keep up the good fight.
I don't think internal reform is possible, though. It is a multi-layered system designed from the top to protect the corrupt, using deception as its primary tool. Kind of like our country's health care system, it needs to be abolished and rebuilt from scratch. It will be a challenging transition. And in the meantime we need good people to do their best within the systems we have.
