Wow. Horrific.
83% of Children Taken from Their Parents by Child Protective Services (CPS) Were Taken in Error
Filmmaker Ryan Matta’s documentary, Never in America, describes widespread wrongful child removals by Child Protective Services (CPS) and claims a 2019 internal audit found most removals lacked sufficient evidence. Matta highlighted the viral “Baby Cyrus” case, where a child was taken at gunpoint over medical and vaccination disputes, then returned after public protests and media attention.
Matta argues that financial incentives tied to federal funding encourage agencies, hospitals, and law enforcement to separate families and place children into foster care. The conversation also connects CPS practices to broader claims of government mishandling and trafficking of migrant children, criticizing both major political parties and mainstream media for failing to intervene.
