It is very odd indeed. What really seems to happen is that if the parents actually love their children and want the best for them, those children are removed. Meanwhile, if parents are actually abusive and do not really care about their own children, then the children are allowed to remain with the parents.

From all the cases that I have been seeing, Social Workers will make the choice that is in the worst interest of the child. It sounds crazy I know, but that is what I have seen with my own eyes.
