imo, the real pervsity of the government's actions now is that it in the process of building a case that the children have been abused, the state is using the children to coerce the mothers into saying that they (the moms) have been abused.

One woman said that CPS workers pressed the women to go to the shelter, assuring them they would see their children more often if they did*.

(*and i've read more than one account, by more than one mother, that this is the deal -- go to an abused women's shelter or don't see your kids)
a CPS lackey here would say that they're doing it for the mothers own good, or perhaps that only mothers who have also been abused should be allowed to see their (presumably) abused children.
but it remains that a mother who hasn't been abused and who hasn't abused her children isn't allowed to see her children because she isn't willing to lie about whether she's been abused.
if that isn't perverse.....
