Really? Sounds more like there's some cynical jerk with no sense of ethics or boundaries who gets their jollies by randomly victimizing normal families with the excessive powers bestowed upon them by paranoid CYA legislation and an army of deranged ideologues who see abuse everywhere.
- jrockway 16y agoThe truth is probably somewhere in the middle: "Someone who really doesn't understand what his job is does some work in an attempt to get a promotion."
- ubernostrum 16y agoMost likely: someone whose continued employment depends on turning a certain minimum percentage of reports into criminal charges/convictions. Busting actual child abusers who have experience with the system is likely much harder than setting up innocent people who don't understand what's going on, so this would presumably be an easy case.
- ErrantX 16y agoHighly unlikely; I'm sure there are such people in the LE services - but fortunately the controls now are quite good to stop them from running amok. It sounds a lot like mad bureaucracy, incompetence and disinterest. Which, if anything, is even worse.
