Not sure how to respond. Are you saying this topic is closed or something?
As far as the other thread, it's not the same subject and I am not interested. In fact, it seems a gross slander and negligent defamation to accuse me of somehow supporting pedophiles when in reality, at least for prepubescent molestation by adults, if it's STRONGLY clear the perp is guilty, I favor the death penalty for that crime.
But what we are talking of here is a clear case of abuse of power by the state, which the courts have ruled on. Regardless of the accusation, people are entitled to due process and seizing someone's children and taking them away should never be done unless there is clear evidence of the children being in immediate danger. Moreover, it's even weirder to take away children from teen Moms because of alleged abuse of the Mom. We don't do that with any other situation.
If a teenager somewhere gets pregnant because she was statutorily raped, we do not take her child from her and further subject her to abuse. That's not what we do with teen Moms in other situations.
Lastly, if only teens are even alleged to be threatened with abuse by a system encouraging them to voluntarily have sex as if they were adults, why are you taking small children from families. Simply prosecute the statutory rape and tell the other families, you'll be watching and if they follow the same practice, they will be prosecuted.
Let me put it this way....I suspect there are similar or worse percentages of unwed, teen Moms in the projects. Do we go into the projects and say, look, because you are part of a subgroup in soceity with a high disposition towards teens getting pregnant, and yes, some by those older than 18, we are going to take away all of your children?
Is that right?
