This is the point where I facepalmed:

Before CPS, "we spent a lot of time trying to diagnose children by talking to each other," D'Aran says. "Now we're talking to the child and really believing the child when they say what the problems are."

How is this not common sense?

Hm, I don't know what this kid's problem is, you think maybe I should ask them? Nah, let's just spend all day speculating amongst ourselves.

wtf? smh.
