Cynthia Abcug is facing charges of second-degree kidnapping after her daughter warned a child caseworker about the alleged plot.

In a nation of 330,000,000 people, there will always be crazies. Even with Republicans defunding and underfunding to cause dysfunction, they haven't actually done away with child protective custody systems. Even they know they're terribly necessary.
