"Today, my wife and children are in hiding to protect our family, in a location not even know to me, while I have been engaged in a very distressing and disruptive court battle in an effort to have the Protective Custody Warrant quashed, a request that was denied last Friday."
Stupid move. Going into hiding is sufficient to create a legal presumption of guilt that is damn near impossible to contest.

Your first point may not be correct. Your second point certainly is, however. IIRC, Santa Clara County CPS has something of a reputation for being a bull-in-a-china-shop, and not bothering to check their facts before taking action. This in not the first complaint I've heard against them.
I'm not sure, however that reaction isn't preferable to what we often get here in Central Oklahoma, however, where they often fail to check any facts, or take any action...
On the horns of a dilemma here...
