PDD.40: Department of Social Services

Read this classic case of DeShaney vs. Winnebago County that went before the Supreme Court of the United States. Further down in the majority court opinion, you will find the sentence, "Since Joshua Deshaney was not in the custody of the DSS, the DSS was not required to protect him from harm."

To this day, does DSS offices across America disclose this most fundamental relationship between citizens and their government?
