We have seen such stories repeatedly from all across the nation and your efforts to put the blame on the State when it is obviously the sadistic pyschopaths draining the state funds for their own use who deserve it is contemptible. But such misinformation and falsehoods are typical of the ideological blind who haunt these precincts.
Social workers are inundated by the destruction caused by Out of Wedlock births and CANNOT POSSIBILY CORRECT ALL THE DAMAGE therefrom. Yet, we have to listen to the crap which flows from those who do not recognize that the problem is one of individual behavior.
In general there is far more of a problem from social workers who are unable to intervene quickly and sufficiently than from those who are too zealous without appropriate cause. It isn't even close.
You MAY be right about this case in NJ. My point was not that the any of what was reported was a distortion. But I read often on this site about skepticism over newspaper stories but in this case, everyone seemed to jump right on this as infallible.
Admittedly, this appears from the report to be genuine and these "parents" ought to subject to the same treatment with as much compassion as they showed these children. BUT, there's also this thing about "innocent until proven guilty" as opposed to being tried and convicted in the same newspaper article.
If this church is complicit in this incident, they too should be starved...or better yet, at their next communion use wallboard or insulation in place of the bread.
