[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 457107, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]I agree with you for the most part, but I believe that an investigation is warranted if there is even the slightest bit of suspicious behavior. Up here in CT, our children's services is appalling. They either ignore and close files on legitimate cases of abuse and then a month later, the child is dead OR they go in like gangbusters and break up homes for mere suspicion with little evidence of actual abuse.
