CPS Nazis At It Again

I have mixed feelings about CPS workers who investigate child abuse. Most of the time, they do a good job but other times they overreach so much that they act like CPS Nazis taking children from homes of parents for no good reason. It may be because they don't like the families parenting philosophy, other times, the CPS workers make up "facts" to take children from the families and then there are times CPS takes kids just because they can.
Now comes another story of CPS Nazis in Ohio- From Yahoo News: An Ohio third-grader who weighs more than 200 pounds has been taken from his family and placed into foster care after county social workers said his mother wasn't doing enough to control his weight.
The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/t68M7D ) that the Cleveland 8-year-old is considered severely obese and at risk for such diseases as diabetes and hypertension.
The case is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care strictly for a weight-related issue.
Lawyers for the mother say the county overreached when authorities took the boy last week. They say the medical problems he is at risk for do not yet pose an imminent danger.
A spokeswoman says the county removed the child because caseworkers saw his mother's inability to reduce his weight as medical neglect. http://news.yahoo.com/ohio-puts-200-pound-third-grader-foster-care-191032515.html
What utter BS. Yeah, the kid is overweight, so what. Probably 60% of kids that age are overweight. And what is the cause of kid being overweight? Glandular, genetic, or the kid just eats too much. The mom can only deal with the last one, eating too much.
Even if the mom allows her kid to eat too much, what business is it of the government? It isn't. This a case where CPS workers have decided that they don't care about the parent(s) or the kid's rights. They think they know best and they are going to impose their will on the family, even though the kid is not forcibly taken away from his mom and put into foster care.
Stupid CPS Nazis.
