We foster I was leary as well, but once I found my agency, all my fears were alleviated. Depending on where you live, there are private agencies (many are non-profit) that are contracted by DSS to licence foster families......this way, you have a "buffer" between you and CPS, you and the caseworkers. I find this an ideal setup. We are with Catholic Social Service (you don't need to be Catholic...or religous) and have been happy with them.
Things can go wrong, but you learn how to prevent them and protect yourself. Part of our training consisted of learning those skills.

oh how horrible anne marie That's got to be so hard for you. Have you heard anything mre?
We probably wont ever know anything - we dont have any rights to info. We tried asking our worker in the past, but the agency gets no info either as he was placed with his sister's grandparents who are non-agency.
