The CFCSA has a clause which protects Social Workers.
No matter what they do, no matter how wrong and harmful,
they cannot be held responsible for the damage.

This cannot stand. Nobody is above the law.

They took it all. Made copies of "everything" for "evidence," ... except that bits went missing. Somewhere between the seizure and disclosure, anything that was any indication of a breach of trust or misuse of authority, VANISHED!

I can see the advantage today of the block-chain here. A public and non-editable non-confiscationable record. If they take your private diary, ok. They can't take down the block where your daughter says "DON'T WORRY MOM. I WILL NEVER LET THEM PUT DADDY IN JAIL." And I mean handwritten paper photographed with a written transcript on the blockchain. Sound outrageous, but one thing I'm learning, if you find yourself in a situation like this, no measure is too outrageous to protect your family unit.

I stayed in contact with Chuck, just enough to always know where he was, and told the police when they asked me. I did nothing whatsoever to protect him, and complied with every instruction from MCFD.

This may seem like a good idea as a way to show good faith. We are conditioned to obey the authority, especially if we have nothing to hide. But rather it just furthers their cause. It's not easy to "not comply". We are taught this from an early age (for our good). When the authority is wicked, that's when our own goodness is used against us. It's not easy to say "no", especially when the authority are holding your children hostage and your are tricked into believing compliance will restore the family. @ironshield
