I guess I am basing it on my experience in Canada where because of past cases it is shoot first-question later & more often then not it has caused problems & created a nightmare before the parents can be reunited!
I am sorry to offend anyone but I believe the burden of proof rests with the state & not with the burden of defense resting with families!

Just wanted to share with you a story about what can happen when CPS isn't vigilant, I have a cousin that stood by while her husband abused her child, to the point that when the baby was 6 weeks old, he choked him to death with a wad of toilet paper shoved down his throat, (he was tired of him crying.)
This child had multiple fractures in various stages of healing, again, he was 6 weeks old. My cousin had already had two children permanently removed from her, in my opinion, CPS should have been breathing down her neck.
CPS is in the position of being vilified if they do act, and vilified if they don't. If we had seen the girl that made the original accusations on the news, and she said that she had called for help and no one acted on it and told of the many children who were being abused in the compound, IMO, everyone of us would outraged and calling for the blood of the TX authorities. IMO.
