Arizona Mom Fights Abusive Prosecution by Department of Child Safety

I've always considered child protection to be the parents' responsibility and not a function of government.

If there was an actual government function focused on child protection then every child would receive a bottle of multi-vitamins every month, a new helmet every year, sunscreen, a winter coat with mittens, scheduled and subsidized annual checkups with their pediatricians, etc.

This shows that it's not really about actually "thinking about the children", otherwise they'd be actually thinking about the children long term and not just using them to gain political platitudes.

Most child abuse is happening inside families. The whole thing of child protection is to protect kids against parents/caregivers who either neglect them or abuse them.
