I seriously wonder about her other sons though.

I personally wonder how helpful those services really are though. I would love to know stats on how successful the services given out by CPA have been over the years. We hear success stories all the time about children who were removed from abuse and neglect, but what about the kids whose parents underwent treatment or got help? Did it ever do any good?

there are too many variables.
And i understand now about the ward of the state thing. That makes sense. It feels like it was something i learned about in one of my classes on social work, but must have forgotten, especially when reading that article and being emotionally overwhelmed. I guess the lesson here is, since i am going to be a case worker fo child protective services in New York soon, that i need to learn how o balance my intellect and emotions better. i say that tongue in cheek, but it's so true, because i know i knew what you said about parental rights and all, but my reaction on reading that was immediately knee jerk of "SHE HAS NO RIGHTS", and what i learned flew out the door.
