This drawing was created by a child (lower right) shortly after she was removed from her home by CPS and police officers. She was placed in a chokehold because she resisted removal. Her dad (lower left) was arrested for interfering with government administration. The police almost took her best friend (upper right) into custody as well. After 100 days in foster care and 5 months in kinship care she and her brother were returned to their parents. There was never any evidence of abuse.
