> What I’m objecting to is the imposition of the “no unsupervised time with your children” rule, which, to my mind, is a punishment just as much as a precaution.

Which is another way of saying that it is just as much a precaution as it is a punishment.

CPS responsibilities are to the children and their safety. The police & courts deal with the parents, collect any evidence, mete out any punishment, etc.

Well then that brings me back to the other point. We could do this with far more suspected crimes. Just to be safe.

We do do this for other crimes.

Again, CPS isn't focused on the crime.
