Michigan CPS Nazis take 7-year-old hostage over spiked lemonade

This Foxnews story from Michigan nicely summarizes the pathological smallness of the average CPS (so-called “child protective services”) agent:

DETROIT — A University of Michigan professor says he had no idea he’d given his 7-year-old son alcoholic lemonade at a ball game, and is furious at child-protection officials for removing his son from the home.

Christopher Ratte of Ann Arbor and his wife have filed a complaint against Child Protective Services.

Their son Leo spent two days in state custody. The father spent nearly a week outside his home before he was allowed to return.

He tells the Detroit Free Press that he’d taken his son to a Detroit Tigers game a few weeks ago. He didn’t notice the $7 lemonade he bought contained alcohol.

A security guard noticed the boy drinking the spiked lemonade and called authorities. Leo was checked at a hospital. No trace of alcohol was found in his blood.

No charges were filed against the father, who says it was a case of “massive overreaction.”

Is there anyone in the United States (besides the local CPS goon peering over your fence) who really believes that Leo (the little boy in this story) is a happier, safer boy today because Michigan’s CPS took him captive for a week over a single cup of lemonade his Daddy bought him at the ball game? We have become a nation of cowards jumping at the slightest shadow of “risk” in its silliest forms.
