The Case of Marie and Her Sons is an interesting article on child welfare and removing children permanently from the care of parents because of abuse.

It wasn’t only the acute awareness that a child could be killed if you made the wrong decision — and that it could be you being named on the local TV news...It was also the extreme authority, the burden of holding it, of wielding it, the prerogative to enter a family’s home and split it apart.

I read that article today and thought of you, thought of the CPS call I witnessed on Friday, thought of all of the clients I knew with open CPS cases...
