lol yeah traumatize her family by showing up unannounced to take their mother away, while also undermining their mother’s authority as a parent. Just another day in the line of duty.
This is one of the problems that liberals create for themselves which cause the middle ground people to hate them. The liberals go too far. (I have no idea what I’m classified as - right leaning liberal, left leaning independent, or whatever.) The left wing needs to stay out of how parents raise their children, except for cases of abuse. This isn’t abuse. I’ve personally asked social workers, who were patients of mine, if the number of cases of child abductions have risen and every one of them have said no. It just appears that way due to our immediate access to news, social media, and Amber alerts. I would take off on my bike Saturday mornings. I would be away from home all day. I just had to be hone before the street lights came on.
Idk if you heard but liberals aren’t the ones trying to seperate families using law enforcement that’s a pretty standard conservative tactic. Telling others how to raise their kids again another conservative playbook. Idk what nonsense you are speaking is this one of those blame one side for what the other side is actually doing like grooming and pedophilia.
Libberaallss!!! Good God do you even listen to yourself?
You just came to knee-jerk blame and hate. They have gone too faaaaaar!!!
Yes, those lefties who say you shouldn’t beat your kids and teach them to hate everyone who is different. Horrible people, just horrible.
No, did you even read? 1) I said that I guess that I’m part of them. I really don’t know in today’s classifications. 2) I was talking about the over reactions by some liberials as an excuse and ammunition for the middle and middle right to point fingers and be pissed off. In which this article is addressing. I read the whole article. The sheriff and ADA are in the wrong on this case. The kid was fine. The sheriff should have never gone back and arrested the mother. And the ADA should not insist on the mother to sign the paperwork. As much as the left yells about the right over reaching, the left is doing the same in this case. I’m saying to both sides to stay out of family business unless it involves physical or mental abuse.
FYI, I voted blue.
I really fear for the family lives of folks living in liberal strongholds like Georgia.
I don’t get you US americans with your political stuff, your terminology seems to be all over the place. Today democrats are libertarian, next day it’s the republicans. This is literally authoritarianism at play by definition, their liberties are taken away. And where does the evil left come from, that state seems to be run by Republicans, i.e. extreme rightwing.
I mean, ever since your election the whole world knows your politics is broken beyond repair, but this is still bloody confusing to read.
LOL. Yes. I totally agree. That’s why I said that even I don’t know what to call myself. People question me on my views and I’ve been called everything from a tree hugging hippie to one step away from being an authoritarian. Who freaking knows. I’m for everyone minding their own business and your rights end when they start to step on mine. Marry whomever you want - that is of age, dress how you like, read whatever you like, do whatever you want to your own body, and don’t try to dictate your beliefs to me. The slow burn of our country started a few administrations ago. People are just now starting seeing the smoke today.
When I was 12 or 13 I’d walk into town to check out the used cd stores all the time. Seems pretty normal.
As a middle aged father of two grown boys, one of the things I wish I had done better was encourage them to go out on their own more. Their mother would always be so worried, and knowing she has the best intention for them I would give in.
Also there was a couple of years when they were young I would try to force them to go outside and play, but they would quickly become bored and come back in the house. This was so frustrating at the time and then I realized that there were no other kids playing outside either. When I was growing up in the 80s and early 90s, I practically lived outside with my friends.
My boys are significantly more dependent on us, much less capable and their development seems stunted or slowed, which I am sure is partly due to the pandemic, but also due to the sheltering that has become normalized in our culture. Allowing this to happen is one of my biggest regrets as a father, which all things considered I guess isn’t that bad while keeping things in perspective.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the abundance of information has a side effect of over protectiveness. This makes some sense as it would be evolutionarily beneficial to protect against potential threats, however media is tricking our brains to believe that these threats are both abundant and persistent.
Children need unsupervised freedom as part of their development, it allows them to learn how to navigate the world in a healthy regulated way, and how to deal with challenges, like problem solving or social interaction. The perception that the world is a dangerous place that children need constant protection from is flawed. If that were true, we would have never have survived as a species.
I was like 3 towns away when I was 10. At this rate we will raise adults that can’t think for/do anything themselves. Let the kids live.
