It is chilling. And beyond kids being taken away, being forced to go to parenting classes or just having to be there for follow up visits, having to pay layer are all significant hurdles.

In the case you mention, kids would be supposedly taken away for being without supervision in the car. Shoplifting is unrelated crime.

The adults left the kids in the car to go shoplifting for hours. But more to the point: you think CPS is way more effective (let alone over effective) than it actually is. The few anecdotes to back that up have always concluded in favorable outcomes to the parents.
