Yeah I saw that all too often too. I left the DA'a Ofc. after 10 yrs of stellar service because I was the wrong color and belonged to the wrong party. I was given a choice - resign or be fired. I then went to work for CPS as a Special Inv. for 5 years and the estrogen in that place was a killer. IF an anonymous person called the hotline, a social worker had to go to check. They took kids away from good parents and left kids with bad parents. I filed an OIG case on a caseworker and Supv. on a case where they placed the child in a home of a Reg. Sex Offender (I am not kidding). I tried to fix it going up the chain but no one listened. My case was substantiated and a few lost their job or were reassigned. I was persona non grata, they hated me there. I actually saw a shrink it was so stressful. 7 years in corporate America and I love it. I had another case where mom was on the run but she was in the choir of a well known mega church in Dallas. I wanted to go interview her at the church and my supervisor and his supervisor nixed it.My ex tried to convince the court that I was a violent man and a danger to her and my kids. She could have won an academy award for her acting that day.
Judge listened to all the details, interrogated me, interrogated my GF, and at the end, declared, "there is no evidence of abuse here, Case Dismissed."
The slam of that gavel was a wonderful thing to hear.
For the next five years, she called child protective services on me every chance she could.
What I found is as you move from city to county to state, the asshattery is multiplied several times over. Never worked for the Feds but I have an Air Marshal buddy and the stories he tells are epic.
