16 kids in 20 days

This is just in our county which is largely rural and not as populated as some other counties with larger cities, but in the month of April there have been 16 kids picked up by CPS. I don't know if it is related, but April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and everyone from the schools to local media have been getting the information out there on how to spot the signs of abuse & neglect. Maybe it's working to save kids lives, or at least save them from more trauma. Sixteen kids in twenty days. What is wrong with people?
