One of the things that is drawing me more and more to this Church is the idea that we are supposed to use our minds as well as our feelings. Following your feelings will often cause you to do things your mind and all reason tell you is wrong. That’s a situation where prayer seems to come in handy for focusing thoughts and bringing feelings in line. Doesn’t always work, but it can help. That said, I believe there is a lesson to be learned from your experience: DON’T TRUST GOVERNMENT!
The idea of CPS sounds pretty good, and the concept of saving children who are in harm’s way is an attractive one, but the reality tends to become a large, corrupt government organization metastasizing into ever corner of your life. The abuses we’ve had here in my area in Ohio have been disgusting. They will destroy multiple lives and families to save that theoretical “one child.” I don’t condone or support child abuse, but in many cases, the governemnt organizations that are supposed to be helping are just as abusive as the people they are supposed to be there to stop. A family member abusing a child is a crime. A government bureaucracy abusing hundreds of children to stop that one family member is an outrage.
