The problem with pseudo-regulatory agencies like the CPS and the "think of the children" argument is, while they do of course do a lot of good, there is no meaningful way in the system for punishing them for false positives. So it's not a meaningful self-balancing system that reaches a meaningful equilibrium.

They are never punished for the horror stories they cause. There are of course super famous stories such as Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, but there are several others that never get talked about in the media but become nightmares for the people involved.

I personally know of a family who moved back to India after their children were taken away from them for some time based on some stupid scare about a bump on the head the child got from colliding with a table while running around the house.

The teacher noticed, shouted abuse, got the cops involved.

Of course not a single person in this self-righteous chain received any punishment or even a rap on the knuckle.
