Not sure anybody gets into heaven (or gets a promotion) with THAT attitude!
Yeah, I would get frustrated by cps's definition of abuse. There is so much leniency with it. People could still do so much that could emotionally/mentally harm a child without fitting into their definition of abuse. It's also annoying that there are some parents who are good parents, make a little mistake, and get there children taken away. Sometimes I think that there are better (worse) people that dhs could spend their time on.
