They need to find employment in another state. Once you’ve gotten into a state database every time someone comes to your door there is a probability that state employee will do something you won’t like and it will be expensive to fight. So, if you get 10 visits and there’s a 10% chance that the employee will be having a bad day and make an adverse decision, at the end of 10 visits that probability is close to 1.

On the one hand, state employees have WAY too much power. On the other hand, if they don’t take away the child and the boyfriend, girlfriend kills the child in a drunken/drugged rage then the employee gets blamed. That’s the employee’s incentive to heck, just take the kid. It’s no skin off the employee’s nose and it’s the less risk option for the employee.

state employees are more likely to go after a white, working middle class family for child removal than anyone else. they're the easiest targets: less likely to be prone to violence, less likely to be able to afford a really good lawyer, more likely to let the state take the child without much of a fight, until after the fact.
