It's just really disappointing to see the amount of ignorance and misinformation that gets thrown around and spread about CPS. In no small part because of the dumbass shit like what was in that thread. CPS is already crazy underfunded, and have to put up with so much shit/abusive people in the name of making sure children aren't being harmed.
