Would you have supported residential schools as well?
To a large extent we should let people behave stupidly, in the name of freedom, because usually the government DOES NOT KNOW BEST. If you're stupid enough to smoke in car with children you're likely not going to live long anyways.

If this is why you think Child Services takes children from families, of any cultural/ethinic/racial background, then you are obviously very confused about what Child Services does. I don't see how my post relates to this, or residential schools in the slightest degree, except that it is the only example you could find that supported your point. An example that is as outdated and irrelevant as your opinion that all people know to raise their kids properly.
Kids are put in danger in many ways, every single day, by parents who are either too selfish, under educated, or simply unable to understand what they are doing is hurting or killing their kids. If you think that the government should ignore that because it infringes on peoples rights, then you are only giving a severe black eye to every other libertarian minded person out there.
