All states have some version of NH’s DCYF – Division of Children, Youth, and Family – that services families in need or “at risk” (including “Child Protective Services”). Many do good work – and some do not. Including the one that decided that a family, who allowed their 11 year old son in NJ to dress in camos and hold a .22 rifle that looks like those that gives gun-grabbers the swoons, just HAD to be investigated and did her best “Do you know who I am?? (and that I can take your kid away if I want!)” when they refused her entry without the proper paperwork (er, like a warrant) and ended up with an unconstitutional search.
Their thinking was probably “this kid is in imminent danger” – which he was certainly not. Well, how about a new definition of “imminent danger” that would allow social workers unfettered access to someone’s home simply because the family is putting a child at risk – for serving food outside the Government’s “suggestions”:
Imminent means “right now and within seconds (or perhaps hours)” – letting a kid have a pint of ice cream or a few Ding-dong is worthy of Government taking charge of that family or, given some mentalities of some social workers, removal of that kid for “child food abuse”? This is the Progressive mantra at its worst, especially with Medicare / Medicaid recipients mentioned in the video, in that:
