Is CPS helping or hurting children and families?

Child Protective Services (CPS) - sounds like a government agency worthy of huge budget using tax dollars to protect the well-being and health of children in abusive and harmful households. Or so it seems?

This 7-year-old Ann Arbor, Michigan, kid and his parents are mentally and emotionally scarred for life from an intervention that is unnecessary and completely uncalled for.

It is important for us as a modern society to re-evaluate the extent of power granted to such an agency, especially amidst the bigger situation out in Eldorado, Texas, where almost 500 children were removed from a Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) compound.

Keep in mind that all these children are put into a new environment that may very well be worse off. CPS needs to use more common sense and forward planning, BEFORE making the lives of children a living nightmare for absolutely no long-term valid reasons whatsoever.
