By being a good, safe, responsible parent. You all are acting like CPS pulls kids away from stable homes on the daily. That isn't happening. This is a consequence of anecdote over data, where there is one or two widely bad outcomes and everyone reacts to them, when in reality, this almost never happens.

No, I am not arguing that. I am arguing that the system allows for it to happen a non-zero amount of the time.
And as a consequence of that possibility, the fear of it happened is a reasonably motivating factor in parent behavior.
Which isn't something we can (or should) probably fix. But is something that is.
But it does mean that a lot is subject to opinion. And once you're on the radar, how do you get off? How do you prove you're a good, safe, responsible parent when the judging worker believes otherwise and has some authority to make that fact?
