police, so that they can take children from their families without having to
explain why? To anyone? Even the police? If the family shot
the DYFS people dead in their tracks while in the home, would it not be
perfectly justifiable homicide? If the DYFS people were there apparently
without a warrant (and if a warrant, based on what authority?) with the
