After so many, Welfare programs will stop supporting, and may actually investigate, getting CPS involved. I'm not sure CPS is ever the best thing for a child, but I don't agree that one person, or even two, can properly support and nourish, nurture the armies that some couples/singles seem to be having.

This, of course, is dependent on lots of other things, like the state that's being discussed. In PA, I've heard of people being told that they (DPW) would not increase benefits or pay hospital bills involved in the newest children. I've also seen cases (case files) where children have been taken away from parents after investigation, because it had become obvious that the parents weren't properly caring for (nor were they able to, in many cases) the children they'd already had. It was, in that case, in the best interests of the children that they be removed from the home.

I don't know if that qualifies as sanctioning, but it does support my belief.
