I've always heard horror stories about CPS, but I the corruption goes much deeper than I realized. I found some of the work of Nancy Schaefer, a Georgia State Senator who spent a great deal of effort exposing CPS. She calls CPS, "Legal Kiddnapping." Here is one of her speeches. I particularly like her stance on giving parents a jury trial before confiscating their children.
"This is not to say that there are not those children in wretched situations who need to be removed. There are, and we all agree. But tonight, I'm talking about those children removed from their homes, intentionally, for profit. Children are seized unnecessarily from their families due to the Federal aid created in 1974, entitled The Adoption and Safe Families Act. It offers financial incentives to the states that increase adoption numbers. To receive the adoption incentives, or bonuses, local CPS must have more children. They must have more merchandise to sell. Funding is available when a child is placed in a foster home with strangers, or placed in a mental health facility, and medicated, usually against the parents' wishes. Parents are victimized by the system that makes a profit for holding children longer, and bonuses for not returning children to their parents. This is abuse of power, it is lack of accountability, and it is a growing criminal political phenomenon spreading around the globe."
"Remove, abolish the Federal and State financial incentives. And those are tax-payer dollars. Those dollars have turned CPS into a business that takes children and separates families for money. Open family court, remove the confidentiality laws. Give parents their rights verbally, and in writing. I even feel, that to terminate the rights of parents, the case should be heard before a jury."

Tragically, after exposing the multi-billion dollar criminal kidnapping enterprise, she was shot in her sleep, allegedly by her elderly husband of 52 years, described as amiable and always by her side.
What really took 2 lives in the Schaefer case?
