Child Protective Services (CPS) is an agency of many U.S. state governments that removes children from situations that the CPS case workers deem abusive or unlivable.
Carlos Morales
One of the foremost CPS whistleblowers is Carlos Morales, who criticizes the agency's "corruption, kidnapping, and drugging" of children. The drugging occurs, he says, because group homes for foster children have an incentive to get the children diagnosed with as many disorders as possible, in order to get more funding for taking care of their special needs. Since children removed from their homes may feel despondent, resentful, rebellious, etc. this sets the stage for diagnoses of depression, oppositional defiant disorder, etc.
Morales also criticizes the lack of training of CPS workers, who need only have a bachelor's degree in anything and a couple months of specialized training, rather than any background in child development or forensic science, the latter of which might be useful for determining whether an assault on a child has occurred. He also criticizes the investigatory techniques of CPS workers, who pull children out of class at public schools to interview them, without telling them what agency they work for, and ask them leading questions about alleged sexual touching.[1]
Morales and Taryn Harris also operate a podcast, Truth over Comfort.[2]
