I’ll be called racist for saying this, but why is this only happening to whom I assume are white parents? Is it nosy neighbors who report them??

I live in an oil patch town with lots of Mexican families, adults who barely speak English, and their kids little or big, run free, play in streets, or playgrounds with no supervision. Or maybe a toddler watched by a 7 or 8 year old.
Yet I do not hear of this occurring with minorities.

The Weekly Standard tells us to be cautious about this story as it might be a hoax

SOURCE: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/forgetting-lesson-uvarolling-stone-hoax_969898.html

EXCERPT:

Do we know if Cindy or her husband had a history of trouble with Child Protective Services? DeLugas said he didn’t specifically ask Cindy’s lawyer that question, but assumed her lawyer would have shared that information with him. “I did not see any other case with the same name as the mother,” DeLugas told me in a follow-up email.

If true, this story deserves to be Exhibit A in the case against government terrorizing parents for making reasonable decisions about how to raise their own children. But here’s a note of caution: This story was published based on the claims of a person who was granted anonymity and that person’s lawyer.

Cindy’s account could end up being 100 percent accurate, but we still haven’t seen an arrest report. After we spoke last night, Skenazy requested documents from Cindy and says that later today she’ll be “putting up a post with a page of the deprivation case with all the identifying info blacked out.”

Right now it doesn’t seem like “Cindy” is going to end up being another “Jackie,” the source of the bogus UVA/Rolling Stone rape story. But the editors of Skenazy’s story had no way of knowing that prior to publication. The point remains that journalists shouldn’t publish bombshell stories based upon the unverified claims of an alleged pseudonymous victim. Confirmation bias is not exclusively a problem of the left.

You know how schools get into trouble with the feds when their rate of disciplining minority kids is significantly higher than their rate of disciplining white kids?

I suspect a similar dynamic here -- they need to go after some minimum number of white families, on whatever pretext, in order to make their numbers look good.

"...I’ll be called racist for saying this, but why is this only happening to whom I assume are white parents?..."

I am glad you asked. I adopted a child and had to learn all about CPS. They do not want black kids.

They receive lots of federal funding for every child they adopt out, meaning they have a monetary interest in obtaining as many children as possible. I was told that in my area it is approx. $100,000.

That's why they respond to frivolous and trivial complaints against white families. That is why they show up at a white families' door with no warrant and are pushy and threatening: They need a constant flow of children.

But not all children, and that is the hidden tragedy in all this: Because so few folks want to adopt black children, they are considered of lesser value to CPS. That is why CPS turns a blind eye.

It's all about the money. It destroys lives, and denies opportunity to black children who have a valid and compelling need to be taken from their homes.

Because when children are adopted out, The State gets money.

Seizing children from their parents is a most lucrative venture for The State.
