I can bring up things wrong in general in all systems.
The fact that a private company does background checks should not surprise anyone. The us government uses a private company for background checks for security clearances and detailed investigations on backgrounds.
I said I believe the outcome of this is tragic and should not have happened. But the actual details of how this child was taken from this family to begin with need more detail.
In our town a lady getting high passed out and her small child left the house via an unlocked door and was found in the middle of the street. When police found her she was removed from the home not because the parent smoked pot but because this was the 2nd time this child was found outside the home with no one watching. It was neglect. It was not CPS making a stand against MJ but rather CPS saying don't let your adult choice make you an irresponsible parent and risk the safety of your kids. FYI that same month a lady was super drunk and the same thing happened and another parent had their child removed. In these cases I don't believe it was a bout MJ.
