    parenting is more than just feeding, housing. it is instilling values. indoctrination to beliefs. hopefully, teaching them to think independently.

    That all sounds wonderful. Here, you live in fear of CPS. They come get your kids. Then you get to go to court. At court the judge may grant your children back to you, but CPS gets the right to pop by at any time to 'check on the children'. There was recently a big hullabaloo about a sect of Mormons in Texas called FLDS. One report that there MIGHT be abuse, in went CPS, rounded up a couple of hundred(not kidding!) kids, and the families had to go to court to try to get their kids back, who were scattered liberally throughout the foster care system.

    Australia and the US are NOTHING alike. Unless a kid is OBVIOUSLY being abused here, nobody says a word. Some suggest this is due to apathy. It is because everyone is afraid of CPS and social services. Their power is pretty much unchecked. If CPS makes a mistake, it doesn't matter. Your kids are still gone.

    as bells has said previously there can be up to three concurent investigations with child abuse cases

    the police will invesitgate for criminal behavor under all the normal rules of evidence
    DOCS will investigate under its own rules which DO alow hearsay and rely on there own evidence and the evidence given by manditory reporters (anyone in health, politics, education, the law or religion basically) but we dont have to back up our reports to the levels that the police expect.

    Futher more if it comes out in a divorse case then the family court itself can investigate

    Different people find different things dangerous.

    Convicted of what, how many times, when? Remember that we are living in a society that tries to rehabilitate criminals and considers sex with a 14 year old rape.

    What kind of mental illness? Neurosis? If the person is not placed into a hospital, he is clearly not considered dangerous to himself or society. If he is placed into a hospital, he is not in charge of children.

    What kind of recreational drugs?
