I had some luck getting through to people about CPS, two years ago when we were dealing with getting investigated for our 7 year old daughter walking down the street by herself.
I was of course agitated about the whole process, and of course the true believers would try to assure me by saying, "Relax, you're a good parent and nothing is going to happen".
I replied with this:
There's a flowchart controlling this encounter with CPS.
On that flowchart is the "Take the children" action.
Every decision before that action is going to be determined by this one person coming to visit and nobody else,
and absolutely nothing after that action says "figure out whether that person made the right call and discipline him or her if it wasn't".
Like I said, I got through to some. Most of them were still totally comfortable that one person held my entire life in her hand for an hour, and if she had been unethical, would have simply walked away from it and left me to pick up any pieces that were left over.
