These people are morons. How many people blame their upbringing for their bad ways later in life? How many say they came from a broken home and turn to a life of crime? These kids are going to look back at the names their parents gave them and have major issues. Hopefully they get changed. I can't believe they actually got registered with those names. Stupid people.

I don't see anything wrong with restricting children from certain areas of the house if the restricted areas contain non-child-friendly items; many families with toddlers have childgates. I don't see anything wrong with a child that says s/he doesn't want to go home, because many children consider being out and about to be more fun than sitting around at home. And there was no physical/sexual abuse.<BR/><BR/>I guess we'll see what the news says after the hearings, when there might be more public info available.MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-84617711389296617772009-01-15T15:58:00.000-06:002009-01-15T15:58:00.000-06:00I have to admit, I was practically frothing at the...I have to admit, I was practically frothing at the mouth over this while watching AC 360 with CuteFilmNerd last night. <BR/><BR/>Because I'm with Janiece: if there is a real danger to the children, absolutely get them out of there. But if the kids were taken away because the parents just happen to hold views that I'm passionately against, to the point where I personally consider it child abuse to give them such awful names? Well, that's really no reason at all.

It did say that the DYFS wouldn't take the children unless it had a reason to believe there was something causing some kind of harm to them. <BR/><BR/>I see what you're saying though. And if that was the reason that the children were taken, they should be given back. It's just a shame that the children would have to live with that.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-46660696442296967672009-01-15T12:53:00.000-06:002009-01-15T12:53:00.000-06:00Matt, I certainly hope the reason the children wer...Matt, I certainly hope the reason the children were removed was one that can be defended (abuse, neglect, etc.).<BR/><BR/>Because if the real reason they were removed is because their parents are bigoted asswipes with no sense of decorum, I'm going to have to come down on he side of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, throwing up in my mouth the entire time. <BR/><BR/>Stupid civil liberties.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.com
