Never attribute to malice... My mother was a CPS worker for a while so here's a little perspective from the inside. CPS is generally wildly underfunded, underpaid, and understaffed. It's staffed largely by bleeding hearts straight out of college, most of whom will burn/churn out in a year or two. They've never had kids; most are still kids themselves. There are a few lifers and first job in a second career people, but they're the minority. It's one of the more systematically dysfunctional branches of government.
