I know I'm late to this conversation but I just wanted to add that I came to love king of the hill, but this episode always hit too close to home. I was an only child with undiagnosed bi-polar disorder, and my parents were falsely accused of mistreating me at home as a way of explaining my behavior at school, when it was really just hormones and chemicals and like Bob and Henry, I was too smart for my age, starting school a few days after I turned 4, and was frequently bored which didn't help my attitude. Regardless. I was taken away by the Sheriff, taken to basically a foster care/shelter for neglected and abused children for 3 months while an investigation was done. There they tried different pill combinations till something kinda worked and my parents were found to be innocent of any wrong doing. Long story short, I agree that 90 percent of the time these social workers are doing good work, and have a lot on their plate, doing the best they can. but I was one of that small percentage of kids who was taken away from my parents unjustly, (even though admittedly I was a little 8 year old shit bag, but that wasn't my mom and dad's fault) Thanks for reading the 4th chapter of my memoir lol
