Let's look at this slightly differently: Suppose the 10 year old child the CPS abducted from playing safely in their back yard was -- right, you guessed it -- a girl.

In this case some fathers might -- I won't if only because I'm not a father -- might, ..., might, right, what's the term?

CPS abducted his 10 year old daughter: Zuilly makes a bundle selling pretty princess and angel clothes to grand parents for their grand daughters, often just 10. Those princess, angel clothes indicate some of the protective emotions grand parents and parents have for daughters, e.g., Perfect Daughter. In our society, there are strong norms that girls are cared for, protected.

And CPS abducts her? Perfect daughter?

Am I getting to make this situation clear?

Okay, maybe it's her dear dad or her dear uncle, one or both fresh back from Akrapistan, maybe Army Rangers, maybe Seal Team 6. And CPS abducted Perfect Daughter playing safely in her backyard?

CPS might be in line for a Darwin award.

Looks like Perfect Daughter needs two or three very devoted, young, healthy German Shepards or Rotweilers.

CPS overreach is not all just click bait: I know a family, well known coast to coast, in US finance, famous name, wealthy, generous philanthropists. Well, at one point a son of about 8 in the family fell and, maybe, bruised his arm or some such.

Well, somehow CPS paid a visit. Insisted on getting involved. Issued this and that order to the parents.

Absurd. Wacko. Overreach.

If my startup works, I get financially comfortable, and CPS or some such makes trouble for the nephews, nieces, etc. in my family, then I will go to a big, powerful, all-go, never-stop, nail'em to the wall law firm and see just how much legal trouble we can cause CPS and its wackos.

If they want a legal fight and my checkbook is much thicker than theirs, then bring it on. It will be a good purpose for my startup work.

I don't like gumment wackos hurting families and children.

It's happened. It shouldn't.
