To add to this, what about those unable to take care of themselves. Children, the mentally ill, those who are badly addicted, those who are easily taken advantage of (like in borderline elder abuse cases).

Many of those cases are about law and order and not necessarily welfare. I do not see CPS as a welfare organization.

Law and order responds after the wrong. I'm talking about protection to prevent the wrong.

I don't think there should be any protection to prevent the wrong. That ventures into totalitarian regime.
