Pryor to the 1920s there was no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no refrigeration of any kind.
Were I to raise my children on that farm I would lose them all to CPS, and the house condemned.
Freedom was lost along time ago.
It was 1964 before we ever had a telephone in our home. I never had AC in a home until 1997, even the years we lived in FL.
This smells more like a social worker from the hospital rather than CPS.
