Or is it just an "ethical nuance" I "fail to grasp"?

Or probably just an oversight. I'll help and post it back to apcsp

Subject: Many families *at risk* by CPS assessment questions

Here's a link to a risk assessment used in Michigan:

Own or rent home?

Special needs child?

Single Mom? Watch out--you're a candidate for your local CPS, child
protective
services *help.*

Single Dad--filling in when Mom bails?

Well besides the fact you fail to note what that risk is, risk of
investigation, and ignore the fact such lists are assessment tools,
not TPR tools, and you can't figure out how to get rid of child abuse,
neglect, and infanticide other than by apology so it won't be stopped
any more, you are a liar.

AND these questions are drawn from abuse and neglect data results as
to perps and situations.

These are the circumstances found where children are injured, and
killed by their bio production units more often.

I wonder if you'd like a pilot to do herpreflight on a plane you are
taking by walking around doing her makeup rather than the checklist
for aircraft safe operation?

Or would you claim a doctor is incompetent because he actually takes
your vitals and checks his PDR and specific referrance books before
making a diagnosis on YOU? Or your kin?

Would you prefer he just make an expert guess from the next room while
you tell him your symptoms?

Tell CPS what you would rather they do to find and stop abuse and
neglect.

The assessment list can be as powerful a tool in defense of a family
as you seem to think it is against a family.
