If i read correctly some of these children in this story were adopted...I know that all states do some sort of homestudy for adoptions so then how did it get to this point.Sounds to me like the social service department failed in doing its job long before by allowing these abuseres to adopt in the first place,but of course nothing is the fault of the social services departments of this country.It seems no matter how many cases come up where they are sued(i can only imaging how many more where they dont get sued and just get away with it)we dont see any policy change.It was like what was said in the other post about the homebirth.They demand entry into your home without warrent,they demand to search your home without warrent,to search your kids,to review medical records,just whatever they want with no court orders all on annonymus reports.They spend thier time harrassing loving parents and parents who are abusers constantly go unhindered until the situation is dire or fatal.When they take kids from loving homes its a mistake that couldnt be avoided and when kids go unprotected it isnt thier fault they balme the homeschoolers or blame whoever is handy.I belive this is a result of one government agency who doesnt have to uphold constiutional rights.
