Any wonder it has been hard for parents to reunite with their children. Did explain a lot to me. I think most people still think they are part of the government system set up to help battered and abused children though the cases I read where that once falsely accussed and the children taken they could not get them back. Unbelievable how this can happen in this day and age.
