These people can go into a court and without having ANY qualifications become instant expert witness against you.
If they don't like your tone of voice they can have your children taken from you.
Honestly, I believe these family service organizations do far more harm than good.
Look how many children are victimized IN THE SYSTEM.
Taken from a struggling family but a family that loves them and would protect them into group homes and foster care where they are exposed to drugs, pornography, treated like servants and sexually exploited. It is just another extension of the corrupt government system and does NOT operate with the citizens best interests but instead operate on financial greed.
I believe that if people didn't have to fear getting involved with these crooks,criminals and violators they may be more willing to step in and speak out if they witness an abuse. People are so afraid of losing their own children they won't speak up.
In the past this approach "may" have had some value. But in today's society where we have internet and everyone has cell phone and can photo and video instantly I see no need for this service.
The real hard core abusers are NOT being caught by these guys anyway! One in a million shot.
Sorry about the rant,
A passionate topic.
