The idea
Child Protective Services connects families with resources; many professionals, such as teachers and doctors, are mandated to report suspected maltreatment.
In practice
A caseworker arranging parenting support and childcare for a struggling family.
Where people slip
The misconception is that CPS takes children away. Removal is a last resort, used when a child cannot be kept safe.
