I wish that axiom was still clung to, but our system threw that out DECADES ago.
There might be some veneer or pretense that says that, but in general practice, no.
In Child Protection cases they skirt the issue of conviction while trampling Liberty interests that are even MORE sacred than the Liberty interest against mere jail/prison time.
The socialist Social Worker busy bodies violate that axiom ten times over, all in the name of ""protecting"" children.
95% of their cases are BS makework crap. 4% are Meth heads, amd the ""Child Protection"" cases that involve what the general public would consider to be child abuse are LESS than 1% of the cases where they remove children from their parents.CPS agencies kill more kids than they save. Injure more than they rescue.
They create more broken teens, create more child molester monsters, make more able bodied teens into uneducated non-producers and turn lots of non-victims into people obsessed with being victims.
The ""Child Protection"" INDUSTRY is easily a bigger threat to America than any terrorist group.
