This is a cut-n-paste, since emptygirl and you seem to be concerned with the same thing:
I know that the system is SO strained. And that is because there are SO many people that hurt their kids. But also, there are a lot of false reports, and SS can't follow up on every one. I know these people honestly try their best.
And really, when they get involved - that's the law getting in there. And when it's just emotional abuse, or you can't PROVE anything with bruises, or whatever, they kind of have to leave you. Because they can't do anything, it won't hold up in court. And there are always more cases of kids being raped or really hurt badly (like to the point of death.)
I understood that at the time; I don't know, I was just frustrated at the whole world for making it impossible for me to have the power to change anything.
