1997 Maryland. A time and place where all fathers were assumed to be pedophiles, especially in rural counties.
eh i live in md and my mother was a social worker so i can tell you that isn't true. They only remove if they believe the child is being abused...a bath doesn't qualify.

If this is the case your friend should sue the county.

No, we lived in an semi-affluent part of the county that was populated by transplants and the D/C was mostly local kids and all local employees. It was a backwater county that did not like outsiders at all.
