I never once blamed the child my comprehension deficient friend.
I placed they blame squarely where it should rest with the parent the first and most important participant in this whole
shitty situation.The mother was ignorant of her rights and duties as parent turned babysitter by her actions!
This should have never happened to this child or any other as the Mother had a child without educating herself to the pitfalls of child rearing.This education and planning should have started well before the point of conception not ended up with the child in foster care and the mother going off half cocked.She will not win a game of violence with the state as it shows, the state or her attorney are not going to teach you where the hole in the fence is or where the booby traps are that is why the parents are most likely going to lose this child.
You don't like the way the game is played and I don't either but that doesn't change it.I advocate educating yourself on the issue rather than complaining about proven losing strategy for that you say I blamed the child?
These stories are just yellow journalism which pisses people off but tells them nothing at the same time.
Read and weep.

The Children Trap
Biblical Principles for Education

EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION
by Gary North
Meeting with a group of Christians in Austin [Texas] on May 19, 1986, [Attorney General James] Mattox revealed his true colors when asked, "Is it true that the State of Texas owns Our children? " Mattox retorted, "Yes, it is true... and not only your children, but you, too"
Hard to believe, isn't it? Yet this is an ancient view in the United States. John Swett served as California's Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1863 to 1868. In 1864, he published the First Biennial Report of his office. He cited favorably several judicial decisions in eastern states. Among them was this:
Parents have no remedy as against the teacher-As a general thing, the only persons who have a legal right to give orders to the teacher, are his employers--namely, the committee in some States, and in others the Director of Trustees. If his conduct is approved of by his employees, the parents have no remedy as against him or them ...
"On March 28, 1874, the California Legislature made it a penal offense for parents to send their children to private schools without the consent of the local state school trustees.''
How did Christian parents allow themselves to be swept into supporting the public .school movement? Why do they still continue to support it financially and verbally? Why haven't they risen up in political revenge against anyone who proposes tax financing of education, a public school monopoly, or state-imposed standards on Christian schools? I have three answers. First, because they have believed a lie, that the state is responsible for educating children. Second, because they are cheap, and foolishly seek to compel other people to pay for the education of Christian children. Third, because they have believed Satan's number-one lie, the myth of neutrality.
