Yeah right troll, remember the case in NYC where the little girl DIED and the "father" is now out of jail and had jobs waiting for him in TV and/or radio ?

First off I am not a Troll. Second, Texas is no better or worse than any other state re: The quality and competence of the big gov't child services people (i.e., They are for the most part populated by incompetents or worse). I simply used it as an example given the recent horror of the woman who cut off her baby's arms - This after Child Services and State Psychologists had dealt with this woman over a period of several months leading up to this atrocity and, according to the caseworker, "Everything seemed fine".

Your citation of the Steinberg (?) case in New York is yet another example of the failings of the state with respect to the protection of the helpless so, you see, it is endemic to the system, not to a specific State.
