Child Protective Services. That's a misnomer. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. "To Protect and to Serve", LAPD. Protect? How can the federal government actually protect someone in a situation like this? They can't, and reasonable people understand this.

If you'd be willing to expand the name to "Department of taking decisive steps to reduce the chances that a similar offense can be perpetrated on a given individual once we've been made aware of an unsafe or illegal situation", then a case could be made for "not living up to the name of the department. But that's not nearly as catchy and the extra expense for the larger business cards would be the fault of the federal government too, so, lose, lose.
