unlike a PVN wat your going to have to elaborate.

with 99 percent of the forum a wat has to do with their stance or arguemnt..

I can't tell if you don't like my argument, grammer, spelling, me or watever just dont' know wat to addresss

govman6767 is off the deep end. Was govman1-govman6766 taken for screen names?

The kid isn't fat, he's just a beefcake... BEEFCAKE!

my momz keep me locked up and feed me pizza rolls. I can't escape the pot pie's. Its real. send help.

That's because 99 percent of the time the forum says everything that needs to be said and both sides put up good arguments there is nothing I can add other than stupid one liners.

In this case the forum is being unbelievably (insert whatever PA u want here)

1) the no laws anarcho crowd damn the government people are saying this is right (lol ****ing lol)

2) The statists (well ike might semi agree with me) are the ones doing it.

3) Your obama socialist european everything is dandy exept we are broke model people DEFINATLY WANNA CONTROL THIS KIDS LIFE

4) Your libertarians are like OMG how can you not take the kid he's soooo fat. Government stealing your happy kid be damned WTF...

Is everyones wife or kid posting in their place today.

Other than the statists and euro socialist model control everything crowd I can't believe you endorse the stealing of a happy kid. I wanna puke

beefcake!

To the OP (and others)- What level of physical abuse, psychological abuse or neglect would you deem worthy of taking a child away from his parents? (Be it by the government, or some AC-land justice group, etc)

wat

there is no rulebook you can consult here, too many variables. each case must be looked at individually.

In my case, I did.

In point of fact, I was required to have psychological screening, get fingerprinted for an FBI background check, and get a judge's approval.

That's how I became a dad.

...sounds horrible, let's try to keep that isolated to just you plz.

Why? Fairly standard for adoption, which is how I became a dad.

I had to prove myself, have no problem with others needing to do the same.

I hope you're never a parent. Just because the kid doesn't realize his parents are killing him doesn't mean he isn't. Your logic is because the kid likes the food that the parents aren't abusing him. Smart.

edit: Furthering gov's stance to its extreme... if a parent poisons the kid in a chocolate sunday with poison that will kill the kid 10 years from now... the kid likes the ice cream therefore no abuse!

Seriously of all the crazy **** people say in this forum like how we need to bomb the middle east for the economy's sake, this is probably the single most insane/terrifying thing i've ever read.

Why, thank you.

You guys realize he said he was adopting right?

you think that a person having to show themselves to be a fit and able parent before they can adopt is more insane and terrifying then suggesting we bomb the middle east for the sake of the economy?!?!

i realize he said he was adopting and then said he thinks others who want to become a dad should have to do the same thing.

Adoption how does it work?

btw if he mis-wrote (i dont think he did) and actually meant just for adoption, i'll take back what i said (i still think its crazy, but not crazier than the middle east thing). but ya, not sure why you'd think getting a judge's approval is yay perfect everyone should have to do it for adoption, but not for biological parenting. either the government should be the judge of who is fit to be a parent or it shouldn't. IT'S 50 50

Um, no. One is a ward of the state and the other is not.

obviously i don't support that but this thread AFAIK is about a biological mother who let her kid get overweight. ETD said he had to get permission from a judge for adoption and thought any one who wanted to be a dad should have to do the same thing. not sure how that would help in this situation if it was only for adoption.

lol come on tsao.

I can't believe how many people are so concerned with some kid they never met that they want to forcefully take him away from his parents. What do you care if some kid is fat? If people don't wanna be good parents than that's their problem not ours. If we want to take away every kid that was being poorly parented we'd run out of places to put them all.

Would you care more if it could be shown he was having a negative impact on your cost of healthcare?
