As I stated earlier, it is understandable that red flags were risen and that investigation of the situation was warranted. What I question is whether or not the way that investigation took place was necessary.
For the record, they found no sign of abuse and returned my nephew on Tuesday. I wrote a blog about it. They could have accomplished everything they did while leaving him in my sister's care with daily, or even hourly check-ups. They did not have to remove him from his mother and home.
It just seems to me that there are better, even if less convenient for the state, ways we could go about investigating possible child abuse.
