On the one hand, you hear about cases where Child Protective Services (or whatever they're named in whatever state) loses track of children, neglects to check up on children, entrusts children to abusive foster parents, etc.
On the other hand, you hear about cases like this, seems to me at least as often.

"FALLS CHURCH, Va. - A mother was under arrest Wednesday on child endangerment and other charges after authorities said she abandoned her 4-year-old son on the Capital Beltway, then struck him with her car when he tried to get back in.
...Virginia State Police said an investigation determined that Channoah Alece Green, 22, of Newport News, Va., abandoned the boy along the busy highway after she became upset with him.
'As she attempted to drive off, the child was trying to get back in the vehicle and was knocked down,' said Sgt. J.L. Doss. That led to a hit and run charge."
