Which is why my son spent six years being abused in foster homes, because some policeman reckoned it was in his "best interests" to take him away from a sexually perverted father. (Because, you know, gays and BDSMers and such are all child molesters really.) Giving authority figures absolute power "for the children" doesn't work any better than when parents had absolute power "for the children."
