Apparently the mother-to-be is single, but I would still trust her to better raise the child than a socialist welfare state...

Apparently the authorities in Northumberland County have been watching too many episodes of House...

There is NO cure for personality disorders. None.

What is the cure for intrusive statist nannyism?

Are you kidding? Our social services already take away babies at birth. Regularly. This is nothing new. Usually if the mother is considered too mentally ill to take care of it or if the mother has lost other children to the system.

[Kozak]

Didn’t say the state should take the child. Just pointing out that borderlines can’t be cured.

I work with the dx on occasion. I have seen young borderlines grow up and lead terrific lives. Personally I think many young women between 12 and 24 could code as borderline but time grows them up.

Others otoh, never get better.

“...became involved with social services in July after a domestic incident involving her former partner.”

July huh? I wonder if the argument began with her partner saying something like “You’re pregnant? How could you get pregnant....? Well - you’ll just have to get an abortion then!”

Agreed. That's why we need to lock up most of Congress.

And throw in post-partum hormonal changes.....

If you're the Child Protection folks, do you take a chance? Not an easy decision. The cost of doing nothing and being wrong is a lot higher than doing something and being wrong.

Freakin great. NOW you tell me.

[Balding_Eagle]

The cost of doing nothing and being wrong is a lot higher than doing something and being wrong.

You don't really believe that do you?

The cost of allowing this kind of behavior on the part of non-accountable State workers will be that your grandchildren, or certainly your great-grandchildren, will be constantly under the thumbs of the State. As in the USSR.

To me, and to your grandchildren, that's a much greater cost than the state doing nothing today.

Silly me. I was merely thinking of the baby's safety.

[Balding_Eagle]

I’m glad you realised your mistake.

Happy Thanksgiving!
