I agree with what you say in principle, but if that's true the (possibly) few cases of overreach have to have remedy for those that are injured. But now we're starting to get into the territory of issues of qualified immunity are an issue (recently discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34901629 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34901629, for example). Having said that, I think the tendency of state agencies, in a political landscape where we regularly justify increased legal intrusiveness into our lives using "think of the children" arguments, to use state power to force our personal cultural prerogatives, and to ask the state to generally solve our problems for us, will be for "stupid" child protective actions to increase over time. So I applaud the actions to nip this is in the bud... assuming you're right.
