[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 457043, member: 1169"] I come at it from a different perspective. I want CPS powerless. I want them to have to PROVE to a judge that a child is in danger of permanent harm or death before they can take the child. When I was a foster parent I read a book (I think it was called Wounded Innocents or something similar) where is compared the damage done to children taken into foster care when they were not in immediate danger (both the physical harm they suffered at the hands of less-than-good foster parents or other dangerous children in the home and the sheer trauma of being ripped from their families) and the study in this book showed that more children were being harmed by being pulled into care than would be harmed if CPS hadn't pulled any child into care. CPS was actualy INCREASING the number of abused children. Yes, consistent, extreme verbal abuse is very damaging to a child. If CPS starts pulling children for what people say, it is a slippery slope and everyone's definitions of "verbal abuse" and "obnoxious parenting" are going to be different. [/QUOTE]
