Could have done with you at my side last night. I was saying to someone on discord about CPS/SS being a necessary evil and that there are lots of cases were social workers have saved children from abuse. Some parents are not fit for purpose and do as much damage as a corrupt social worker. This point didn't go down well, but the hard truth never does. This story describes a couple who had made a mistake and recognised that. In this case the system worked well Just a shame they have to remove the child from the family as that causes harm to the child. Very tough situation and it must be looked at in an open minded way. Much of this system perpetuates itself on it pressurized state. Social workers can't afford to lose their job(probably thankful to have one) so they tow-the-line and carry out rules they know are mindless. Because they think the foster carers are all angels, they believe the child is going to be ok either way(Total misjudgement). The system is rotten, the majority of people are not.
