A case of the government overstepping their boundaries as usual?

Or a wise a prudent move based on their lifesyle?

From the way I read this story the Judge may be doing the right thing.

Too many things add up against this couple.

My first thought was that the judge acted wrong, but after reading about the animals, their living in a motel, jobless,

Of course any new couple is using their child as a learning experience. no one knows what parenthood is until they do it, but if they cannot take care of animals, thta is a bad sign.

They seem to be implying that even though he was only 12, the sexual abuse he was dishing out was pretty serious. He’d also have to be one messed up puppy to be doing that kind of crap at that age.

Once you lose one child, it’s over. They will grab your kids at birth and believe me, usually rightly so. Why is this broad continuing to procreate with a fiend?

Why are you instantly trying to make this racial? It never occuried to me once that the story in this couple was black. And I would highly doubt they are. In fact, the behavior described screamed out “white redneck” as I read it.

Open your mind a bit.

A SEX OFFENDER at the age of 12? And no repeats since then?

As poor parents as it seems they were, to take their child for THIS reason is not right.

“We had just lost our fourth baby, so she sent me to the liquor store,” the father recalled.

He came home with a bottle of London Dry Gin, and “we got to drinking.”

Then they got to fighting, and then he got arrested.

I believe that tells us much....whatever else is true this yob is in no way interested in following social convention or even just the common sense of being an adult

FTA: But his record shows otherwise, with him having been convicted of sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, assault with a weapon, sexual interference and uttering threats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I doubt the man is telling the whole truth about his being a sex offender at age 12. Perhaps he molested a much younger child. Perhaps his record extends over several years.

In any case, it looks like the State is using his past as a tool to keep him from keeping his children.

From blogs.phillymag.com/the_philly_post/2013/01/04/14-quotes-amish-mafia/:

14. And the pièce de résistance: “Hey. Have you seen the black Amish?

In fact, the behavior described screamed out “white redneck” as I read it.

A wrung below white trailer-park trash, I'd guess, given the article says they live in a tent in a trailer park.

I just assumed they were white trash. The tent, animals, etc...

From the article:

"But his record shows otherwise, with him having been convicted of sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, assault with a weapon, sexual interference and uttering threats."

Lanark County, Ontario? There are parts of that county where the residents make the boys from the 'Chulawassee River valley' (Deliverance) look like Rhodes Scholars!

The Amish are white people.

Reading everything else though makes me think the right decision was made.

If they lived in this country, that couple would be Obama voters.

The part about the 17 year old sex crime is BS. That’s not why the baby got yanked.

Yes, because no blacks live with animals, in a trailer park, have sexual assault records, abuse alcohol, or have had their children taken from them. Talk about needing to open one’s mind.

Of course they do. But I don’t instantly assume someone exhibiting this behavior is black. Mobs rampaging in the inner city? yes, they’re black. But the original poster instantly tried to put a racial slant on this. Which is stupid.
