If you have children this book may save your family. This book may change the way you deal with your family doctor, your child's school, and who you allow into your home. No, I am not paranoid, but there are too many cases documented here of individual rights being trampled, due process ignored, and families destroyed by bureaucracies that are not concerned with what is just. You may also be left with a cynical view of our adversarial legal system -family services workers assert that 'a declaration of innocence is a sign of guilt'. Let's just bind their hands and throw them in the river -you know the rest.

Left unanswered is the secondary question of how family services organizations became dominated by so many wrong-headed people, and how our tax money came to fund them. Are they really so deluded that they think they are doing good, or is there a New World political agenda driving them? Why do prosecutors go along with them? Why do police departments make arrests based on little or no evidence? There are a few good people in these organizations but I am afraid they have been intimidated into silence. Fixing this problem will take politicians willing to fight the tide of it-takes-a-village political correctness. How did it ever get this bad?

This author fills this book with stories of horror and corruption that will scare the living daylights out of ANY parent! If you've ever believed that our system is only looking out for the best interest of our children, then please think again, and read this book! Your pre-conceived notions WILL be blown right out of the water when you read these chilling true reports of the abuses, tortures and indignities our child protective agencies have imposed on some of the families in our country. As a parent who really does want what is best for my children....this is truly terrifying.

After a horrendous child custody case where my wife and I were both accused of abusing my step-children, this book was a God send! We both learned so much that is helping us finally win this war. Brenda Scott's book should be read by every single parent in this country, especially by those who homeschool.

As a person who was falsely accused of neglect this book was shockingly accurate to what I thought and experienced during my traumatic experiences with CPS. The children who are REALLY abused do need CPS services and should get them. The falsely accused families who are abused by CPS also need some support and services. The damage that a fasle accusation from CPS leaves behind is also abuse. Many are quick to judge and believe that CPS can do no wrong. I USED to be one of those people. Now being a victim of the system I no longer believe that. CPS is not always right and is a lot of the time WRONG! God Bless our families!

This book is a great source of information to all involved, in one way or another, with Child Protective Services. This book illustrates the problems within the agency, the families that are being victimized and the bureaucrats who take advantage of the system. The section "Best Defense" should be read by all parents.

I would recommend this book to ALL parents. It is a shame and a total travesty that in a so called "Free County" innocent people are being put through something like this! They should be re-named "CDS" (short for CHILD DESTRUCTION SERVICES)... I, for one am outraged!

Wow!! This book is an accurate description of what happens many times in the Family court system. I wish I would have had the insight to read this book years ago. Dr. L. McNeese in his book, "How to be strong, when falsely accused" ( www.lmcneese.com) describes a similar story as discussed in this book. He also give tips on how to deal with such an intrusive system. I feel that this book along with Dr. L. McNeese's book is a must read for any one who is dealing with Child protection agents and the family court system.

This is a book that all the parents should read about child protective services and how they act. It is a real eye-opener. It shows what can happen, what will happen and what has happened to many parents. It is not about if you are a good parent or a bad parent. It just tells you what happens if cps gets involved.
Every year, it is estimated that over one million people are falsely accused of child abuse in this country. Those one million go into the system, they have to deal with the CPS and the court system even if they are good parents and innocent.
I recommend this book - it deals with the issues thoroughly. It is informative, full of facts, and will give anyone plenty to think about.
If you have a problem with child welfare agents, or if you have friends or family with the problem, this will explain quite a lot about what is going on. The book is just a bit outdated due to recent legislation. It was published before the passing of the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 which gave states more financial incentives to take away children permanently, and adopt them out. Other than that, the book is worth reading.

This is a very inlighting book about some of the unseen avents that happen in our society today. Real live storys that chill you to the bone about some of the people that have been wrongly accused of crimes directed to our most precious children. How not only has it hurt the parents and friend of these children but, the trumendous pain that the children themselves indure; due to the mistakes made by our child protection agencies, the very agency put in place to help keep pain from our children
