For anyone who argued that the actions of Texas CPS were justified back in April, it is telling that two more months of investigations have authorities asking for 8 children to be returned to state custody. Out of 440 children taken originally that works out to 1 in 55 or less than 2%. By my calculation that works out to a 98% overreaction in the first place – no wonder our country was founded on principles of limited government and a system of checks and balances.
In all fairness, the state seems to have learned its lesson for now as they are allowing those 8 children to remain with their parents until a hearing is convened to decided if their wish will be granted.
