That brings back some chilling memories.

It was the 80's that we fought this all down in Maine. We even had an 'underground railroad' to spirit parents and children into Canada when the state was about to take their kids.

Like the couple, both diminutive, with their two children. They has seasonal jobs and one bad season, were laid off and had to ask for assistance.

That opened to door to the stare 'overseers' = they opined that the children were not average size their age - thereby showed a "failure to thrive syndrome" and moved to take the children.

Their family doctor, who had taken care of the children since birth, testified that they were always well cared for and he and other testified as to the obvious: They were smaller than average because they had diminutive parents = i.e., it was genetics.

The state brushed this aside with "You can go around and around with this genetic thing, but we are the experts."

The judge threw the case out, and blasted the state.

However, the state refused to remove the parents from their list of parents who had to be watched and be ready to swoop in and grab the kids at any pretense.

The parents didn't dare stay in the state.

Just one of many cases we fought through. Absolute insanity.

We won the battles back then= but as you point out - they will never give up. The UN is intent on controlling all children...usurping parental rights, collecting all guns, submerging our country sovereignty, etc/

I fear for my children and grandchildren.

It's time for another Tea Party.

Cannot tell you how often I am hearing people talk about it being time for another Revolution or Tea Party. It is becoming the talk of the nation.
