Everyone wins.
- A minor amount of resources are spent filing the report.
- No one bugs idiot mom and dad for hot boxing with their kids
- If little Johnny is in danger and several people report things with Child Services deem problematic, they send a little old lady out to take a look around. Since chances are there is nothing major going on, they get a wake up call and can fix the issues.
- If something potentially dangerous is going on, then they might face a supervision order which means little old lady comes back a few times to make sure things are fixed.
- If something serious is going on, then the kids get to go live with some relatives or foster care until the parents get their stuff together and make their home safe.
Which part of that is bad or undeserved?
