Help! Government Kidnapped My Child!
From the print edition of The New American
According to statistical data published by the federal Department of Health and Human Services in 2012, Child Protective Services (CPS) checked up on 3.2 million children, though only 686,000 were reported as abused or neglected — meaning that 2.5 million children have been declared non-victims. Since the early years of its creation, the scope of CPS’ powers has grown, and it has usurped an immense amount of the natural and God-given right of parents to rear their children.
As an Atlantic article examining the findings of the study cited above reported, there is a perception — at least, there was a perception in decades past — that “CPS most frequently intervenes in the lives of families to stop people who beat or sexually abuse children in their care, or to prevent other horrific abuses.”
