RE: Police Brutality Breaks a Mother's Body & Shatters her Trust (FamilyProtection Series -- Anna's Family Story Part IV)

I read about half of this and could not go on. This is unimaginable, and yet obviously real. I don't understand. Cannot comprehend why would any social agency take a child from it's mother without one hell of a good verified reason. What spirals me into anguish is that we are reading just one story. One brave soul baring her grief. Please tell me there is a happy ending. Thank you for this painful work.

I believe it's a symptom of our social training promoting interference. Social workers, police, every social program empowered by the government to 'do good' will have individuals who will go over and above their mandate. Sometimes it will be because they truly believe they are doing the right thing, and sometimes because there's a quota to be met. After all, how would a progress report look for a social worker who never finds a bad parent? a police officer who never arrests anyone? We live in an upside down society.

and sometimes because there's a quota to be met
