So while we wait for these perfect parents' arrival, what should we about the kids who are being abused now?

as it stands now, we have two choices.
1) the state has all power to determine if you get to take your kids or not, with only their level of proof that they need to do so,
or
2) go back to the state having extremely limited power in removing kids in only the most dire of circumstances with the KNOWN risk of some children may not get removed in time. in which case, we cannot blame the state for not taking action soon enough.
