Well, there have been numerous and well-publicised cases where social services over-reach, negligence and malpractice have led to some terrible outcomes. The case from the OP may or may not be such a case, we simply don't have the evidence to make a judgement, yet.
I do agree that a lot of people here are making wild assumptions based on scant accurate information and some seriously dodgy reporting, fed no doubt by a liberal (or conservative) dose of paranoia.
I was commenting on the notion that anyone for any reason can make a claim that you are a bad parent and the DHS will swoop in a take your kids away without any evidence or proof. That happens in the movies yes, but not really in real life. Granted there are stories where people have lost their children for a period of time during investigations of abuse etc... However this poster was making it seem as though this was the norm, not the exception.
