Especially if you're already under intense scrutiny and currently dealing directly with cops and CPS types who are guaranteed to write lengthy affidavits about every single thing that happened in your interaction with them.
If you want a guaranteed way to lose your kids it isn't even being a psycho, it's not even pretending to cooperate.
The thing about agencies like these is they're frankly terrifying in the degree they can fuck with your life. It can take a lot to get on their radar, in this case a national scandal. But once you do, you're on their radar forever. Parents who actually love their kids, even if they're personally fuckups, and in most cases if you end up with an investigation you have fucked up, are generally desperate to keep these people happy.
But then people who torture their own kids for shits and giggles on the Internet are somewhere in the shit tier of parents.
