Watched a neighbor go through it when he slapped his kid for lying. 15 months of court hell and lucky his ex was crazy and he got a judge that saw through it. But the kid is home and back to failing school and playing video games. Half the time when I take the dog out at 3am you can still see the flickering light from the kids window as he plays video games on a school night.
My wife works in the family court system. It is absolutely scary how easily you can have your kids taken from you, without a shred of evidence or proof. Scenarios like this (and worse) happen dozens of times a day. Parents are scared to discipline their kids because they know they can be taken away. The state has waaaaay too much power and leverage in these situations, much like Red Flag laws, a very slippery slope.
Maybe that's their way of terraforming a new society. Think about it. They control the schools and what your kids learn
The only thing they can't control is how you raise your kids. But they found a way to do it. They make new laws so it's easier to take your kids away and put them into a home they can control. What a neat trick.
