At some point these ‘authorities’ need to start paying a very, very heavy personal price for this crap.

Distrusting the government is what makes us AMERICAN! It’s why the country was established in the first place.

It's the Texas monkey collective at work. For all the talk of liberty and independence, Texas has its own share of statist, interventionist policies at work.

I’ll state only the following on this matter:

I accepted my first wifes offer of divorce at the inconvenient time she was pregnant with my daughter in the mid 1970’s because of her penchant for marijuana, and trying to shove it off on me as acceptable behavior. My daughter was born months later high on marijuana, and to this day has problems with drugs, as well my Grandson.

I don’t like the crap. Don’t like people that do, and don’t want to talk about it any further with any of you Libertarian a-holes that constantly defend the use of it here at FR.

Guaranteed there’s drugs, and drug money behind much of our woes in this land today.

It seems that the government reaction proves the parent’s teachings.

" the most extreme is that the Coopers are “unsuitable” parents because they create an environment in which the children learn their “government is out to harm them.”

I guess they were able to observe this first hand now.

It sounds like the parents are real losers and unfit but the writer singled in on a few troubling remarks by the police in order to create bogeymen out of all officials who want to keep drugs out of our kids’ faces. Typical Libertarian stuff. “The biggest evil in America are drug laws!”

But the founders all smoke pot and none of them were Christians. They all would support the Libertarian doctrine of creating whore houses in every neighborhood and imposing high taxes on them. /sarc.

I’m with you! We have laws against drugs for a reason, giving drugs to kids is unconscionable, this sounds a little over the top but I am pretty sure there is more to this story.

Once the article admitted that the family broke the law and used drugs, I lost all respect for the Coopers. It sounds like they got busted legally and are now crying foul.

I guess the moral of this story is “if you intend on breaking the law and doing drugs then you should expect to have your other lifestyle choices (i.e. parenting) scrutinized”. Ever hear of “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”? What do you want to bet that the Coopers are still smoking pot even after this whole incident?

Sad to say, if Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he’d likely be deemed “unsuitable”.

My distrust of the government is deep, my loathing of CPS far deeper. Somewhere in between, my contempt for people who use illegal drugs.
And better a millstone around your neck in the midst of the sea, than that you should expose your children to that garbage.
Sow....reap.

an environment in which the children learn their “government is out to harm them.”

And if you believe that, we'll take your parents away from you.

Now let me get this straight.

The cops'probable cause was they thought they reconized a voice in the background of a possible false call to the police?

That sounds AWFUL weak to me!
