Back in the 1980's Ed Jagels, from the DA's office in Bakersfield California went on a witch hunt and accused 36 innocent families of child abuse.

I have a son-in-law who was caught up in this fiasco and it ruined their family. It wasn't until years later and after intense family therapy that they have come to terms with these false accusations.

I've known cases where CPS didn't really get involved at all. For example a friend of mine was disappeared into a religious teen gulag (over her interest in Wicca) and all any of us knew was that she'd vanished and it took 6 weeks of constant phone calls to get CPS to even send a deputy out there and the father simply said she was away at a religious home (which was true, but they didn't even bother to verify it). A CPS worker said it can take as long as 6 MONTHS to investigate an allegation. And when my friend returned she was totally brainwashed thinking me and others were members of a satanic cult. I don't know what horrid abuse they did to her (which ironically would NOT have been legal for her father to do himself) but I have an idea from other such places like Hephzibah House:

About 5:15-5:20 they start explaining the "religious exemptions" that make them immune from licensing requirements and how CPS can't investigate abuse unless they have a CURRENT complaint (and girls there are imprisoned and not allowed contact with the outside world so there aren't any).

And not only are many foster homes are also abusive and exploitative, but CPS returns plenty of kids who are then abused again (and I've heard of one girl who was killed the moment she was returned) so not only are they hounding many innocents but they are at the very same time allowing and even facilitating child abuse.

Anyway, here's a link that backs what that radio program has to say (with excerpt):

When they got home, Anthony was still complaining of some foot pain, so Anderson took her son to the emergency room at Terre Haute's Union Hospital. She assumed that if they didn't find anything in his foot, they'd bandage him up and send him home. But Anthony, as kids are prone to do, got his words a little mixed up. A doctor heard him saying something about stepping on "a needle" at his dad's. Anderson overheard a doctor say something about calling Child Protective Services (CPS). Worried, she called in her mother, Pamela Taliaferro. Anthony's grandma came to the hospital and, in front of a doctor, asked Anthony, "Now, what happened back at your papa's?"

"I stepped on a needle, Granny-you know, the kind of needle you hammer in a board."

While they were waiting for CPS to show up at the hospital, a doctor called Anthony's dad and asked him what had happened to his son. Dwayne Mitchell told them his son had stepped on a nail. "When the doctor hung up the phone with Anthony's dad," Anderson recalls, "I heard him say pretty loudly, '**** !' He already had called in CPS, and now he was realizing there wasn't any reason for it. I know what they were thinking. They instantly make the leap: black-needle-drugs-AIDS."

Anderson's hunch proved correct. The hospital had already given Anthony a dose of AZT, the DNA-chain terminator widely prescribed as an anti-AIDS drug. Terre Haute CPS agents arrived and, despite a statement from Anthony's older brother that corroborated the nail story, decided that the doctor had done the right thing, and that Anthony should keep taking AZT just in case the boy had stepped on an AIDS-infected needle. The agents then sent Anderson and Anthony home with two bottles of AZT pills, with instructions to give the drug to Anthony and see a doctor at a clinic in a few days for a check-up. CPS agents warned her that if she didn't bring Anthony back to the doctor, they might have to come take Anthony away from her. For his protection.

Btw, AZT has been known to have horrible side effects, especially on children.

Here's a link that looks more closely at what lalalinda shared, with an excerpt of tax dollars at work:

In the McMartin case, and dozens that followed, the rectal and genital inspections constituted real abuse. However, it was doctors of medicine, not the dark arts, who performed the bizarre rites. They stripped hundreds of children, stretched and measured their private parts and then took close-up, high magnification photos. Many of these shots were then shown in courtrooms, a perfect example of the moral watchdogs becoming, or acting out, exactly what they claim to most hate. Like the Meese Commission’s total immersion in rough intercourse, bestiality and fecal love, the Satan-hunters dove deep into their own private pools of filth.

Dr. Bruce Woodling, whose testimony was crucial in many of the abuse cases, developed the “anal wink test” to determine if a child had been sodomized. In the exam room, he pulled apart the child’s buttocks and touched the rectum with a cotton swab. If the anus came apart -- “winked” in Woodling’s testimony -- this was “proof of sodomy.” With his anal wink test and by sticking glass tubes in kids’ rectums, Woodling convinced juries and judges that Satanists had indeed abused their innocent little victims. In one case, pictures of little girls with their vaginal lips spread wide apart by Woodling’s fingers were waved at a jury like placards at a football game. In a rancid-smelling theater full of scummy old men, this would be the vilest of kiddie porn; in a court of law, it is scientific evidence

I'm so sorry that happened Dee
the good thing is that CPS, etc will be reluctant to check your house again
and they'll put the caller down as a crank.
