"Child Protective Services" is not about protecting the child.

It's about protecting tomorrow's workforce (the social workers).

There are a few CPS workers who got removed from their families, went through hell, and went on to become a social worker. Though they cannot give you a break because of regulations that protect the CPS from the families they help/contribute to the "broken family syndrome."

This is likely due to their use by the 1% to keep the poor needy and homeless.

Yet the main reason why families break up is because they blame the CPS rather than owning up to the fact that few of them have outgrown the welfare system or stuck to the AA program or avoided the party scene or stopped being an adult child.
