> Depends, if a person is really abusing a child which unfortunately happens more frequently than we all want to believe, then you would rather have the government intervene without complicated red-tape as soon as possible.

No, I wouldn't. This is not a good tradeoff. The world sucks and evil exists, but that doesn't give anyone the right to come between me and my children, no matter how much good they think they're doing on balance. This notion must be categorically rejected.

Benjamin Franklin said, paraphrasing William Blackstone, that “it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer.” I feel like society chucks that principal out of the window as soon as children are involved.
