As you’ll inwards today’s episode, fifty-fifty if a social worker suspected in addition to reported religiously motivated kid maltreatment, whatever investigation would run across a number of route blocks, starting alongside 1 of our foundational principles – separation of church building in addition to state, in addition to the liberty of religion.

In most states, CPS systems are overburdended yesteryear express resources, in addition to high turnover. This perfect tempest of issues is 1 of the reasons why I wanted to revisit this issue.
In today’s episode I spoke alongside ii people who convey real dissimilar perspectives to this issue.
