Congress found no state CPS passed protection tests

To assess whether states are adequately protecting children, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services in March 2004 completed a multi-year
review of every state. No state passed. In May 2004, the independent,
nonpartisan Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care, following a yearlong
investigation, reported that current federal rules "simply put…..encourage(s)
an over-reliance on foster care at the expense of other services to keep
families safely together."

What this means is that EVERY STATE IN THE NATION'S CPS bureaucracy failed in
its key mission
