The story is about families and children suffering harm when certain child services agency repeatedly search homes and interrogate children in response to anonymous calls that report child abuses, even when previous searches and interrogations have come up empty.
It's nuanced. There are laws that require child services to investigate every call/report of child abuse, and that law likely miss some moderating elements to protect families/children from malicious, repeated baseless reports of abuse.
