One of the most bizarre cases of a child being removed from their home by DCF [[social worker]]s and [[police officer]]s in the past, for instance, included the [[New Jersey]] agency claiming a girl's parents violated state abuse laws by [[homeschool]]ing their daughter rather then enrolling her in a [[public school]].

In early 2014, another similarly bizarre case saw the [[California]] DCFS and police officers remove a newly born infant from the home of a young couple after the child's parents asked doctors for a second opinion in order to avoid a life-threatening surgical operation on their son. The charges were eventually dropped and their son was returned to the couple after it was ruled that the beliefs of the two did not amount to abuse of their child.
