Horrible (assuming it's true). How can people do things like that to kids?
People do horrible things like to their own children. I am not sure there is anything that can be done. There will always be gaps.
Mental illness is everywhere. So is evil.
This is why Libbos shouod worry less about who gets to own a gun and more about who gets to be a parent.
So, should permits be required to have children? Including a background check? How about a $5K license fee (goes into the child's education or SS fund)?
I could almost agree with this in theory, but reality says no. If we were to go that step, giving them up at birth to the State for raising is the next step.
Who is to judge who is worthy of procreating?
The use of slippery slope arguments prevents anything from ever being changed. So, respectfully, I dismiss them. Everything can lead to something. Better to just stay in bed.
When I want to drive, I will be judged by a DMV employee. When I want a pill for my pain, I will be judged by a Doctor. When I am accused of a crime, I will be judged by a bunch of soap opera watching unemployed people. When my country goes to war, it will be judged by spies and generals. So, it doesn't seem implausible to create and enforce standards for bringing new life into the world.
The concept of permits for breeding would be relatively obvious and the $5K license fee alone would elevate the standards. Not that anything so sensible would ever be considered in a nation that won't even allow the dying to die. A nation that embraces illegal immigrants. More "souls" for Jesus I assume is the objective.
I'll be dead soon so it's not really my problem. But dammit, I certainly have good ideas and where better to express them to the intelligentsia of DP:roll:
Let's not jump to conclusions here. Maybe they were good parents and were just trying the "scared straight" method.
Nothing like making your kid dig his own grave to keep them in line.
Hatuey said:...Who is the state to tell this mother she can't abuse her kids as she see fits?...This is an affront to freedom of parenthood. Endangering my kids is a right damn it.
Terrible stories of child abuse out side of the adoption system were parents put adds up online to take their children . There are even more accounts of this happing in a study by
Reuters .

The whole series from Reuters is making me sick to my stomach. As a parent who adopted internationally, I can't even fathom ever "re-homing" my kids. The psychological damage being done to kids who are already damaged is disgusting.
Yes, my kids have had problematic behaviors, but that's part of what you sign up for.
What's sad is that these kids welfare is at stake. And there is no outcry for the government to do anything.
Typical. This isn't about people doing the wrong thing, it's about "Libbos."
Who cares about these kids being "re-homed?" I mean as long as they can own guns, that's what's really important isn't it?

What does the 2nd amendment have to do with this case?
What would you like "the government" to do?
Since you totally missed my point, it could only mean you're just tryong to start some ****.
Some things are more a slippery slope than others.
To involve (a supposed) government entity in judging who should or should not procreate, and levy a $5000 fee to do so, you are advocating an elitist society that would be doomed for collapse. Not only that, but to prevent couples from procreating because they don't meet those judgemental standards would require enforced sterilization.
Invoking Godwin here.....
OK, since the current system is working so well, I guess I'll have to call my people off and solve a different planet's problems.
