A recent attack on good friend and colleague Chuck Muth has revealed a growing popularity with a political weapon used by those who cannot face their counterparts in the arena of ideas. This evil tool comes in the form of the Child and Family Services.
Yes, CFS has done great things for many children. No, CFS is not always used for good purpose.
Such is the case with the recent political attack on Chuck Muth in Carson City, Nevada. The story begins with his first post about CFS showing up at his door. He explains in the post why this might have happened.
I don’t tend to believe in coincidences, nor do I consider it paranoia when somebody really is out to get you. And especially when my children are involved.
