Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare

Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government's coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.

It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."

The article was linked from Drudge so I would imagine they are getting a load of traffic. The page loaded slow for me too. Nothing wrong with your ‘puter.

[codder too]

They have been training,not educating our children and their parents via the Public (Government) schools for many years.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND was carefully chosen. They intend to control everyone.

We already have something similar to this in Kansas. It is called, Parents as Teachers. It is voluntary. Both my daughter's used and liked the program. A young teacher came around at set times (frequently with the first new born) or when called by the parent. They gave ideas of things to do with the baby. She taught the parents how to make age appropriate games to play. They checked on the babies development. One grandson at age 2 1/2 was found to have a speech delay and through this program got free speech therapy. He is now 4 and speech is up to par. We sure do not need anything federal. But with local control of the program and with total voluntary participation the Kansas model seems pretty helpful, especially as so many young people do not have good family support when the kids come as everyone is working or out of town.

This is the same thing Hitler and his Nazi party did for all young Germans as they were required by law to belong to the Young Nazi Organizations.

The left wing Democrats want them schooled in left wing dictatorial indoctrination so the left can become Emperors and Czars.

Good catch.

What scares me is that they will be so in your business they will take your kids.

Watch out parents whose kids like to skateboard, ride bikes, climb trees, jump on trampolines, etc. A few breaks or sprains, bumps and bruises and some moron in DC will decide your child behaves in risky behavior or you are abusing them, and someone will be knocking on your door.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Never mind that!!!! They’ll probably take the kids if you don’t ‘tow the party line’!

DAMN! Just DAMN!

[Buckeye McFrog]

the most important thing they could teach them in public schools is how to balance a checkbook, which clearly they refuse to do

"... I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.

While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay. I also drive myself to work.

And I thought we could muddle through without the governor’s personal chef — although I’ve got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending — by request if possible and by veto if necessary." - Sarah Palin/2008 Convention Speech

Each of these dirty secrets should become the focus of a national campaign, one or two items at a time.

... but Lady Palin is loco for calling this abomination "evil".

The most entertaining part is that they expect all these workers to be competent. Imagine getting some 22 year old with a fresh whacked out theory

The most sage advice I got on children, though,came in a child development class. The professor started the course saying, “I was the textbook parent until I had my own child.”

Of course now I know how there will be “job creation.” So far there are panels to determine procedures (these people will also need secretaries, etc), parenting visitors, end of life counselors.....

I have a simple rule. If you need these services you shouldn’t be having children in the first place!!

I have been predicting that The Moron-in-Chief would be forced to resign by the end of 2010 for gross incompetetence but now I think America will not survive that long under his stewardship. We must start inserting the ‘I’ word into the daily conversation...Impeachment.

Interesting that the bill compels the STATES to do this dirty work.

[ctdonath2]

...and that those states doing the “best” will be paid more.

If this is voluntary, it is very similar to a program in Missouri called 'Parents as Teachers'. In rural areas it's very popular. From my experience, retired local teachers visit once every 3 to 4 months. Basically it's play time with an adult, but they can also pin point developmental problems and direct parents to help.

If it's mandatory, then it is a whole new ballgame.
