This is an extremely Low Information Article. If the author stated something regarding the lack of information I would feel better. As it is, I’m as suspicious of the writer as I am the government in this case. And I’m very suspicious of them.

So I’ll ask here: what are the allegations.

On your latter: A discussion well worth the time, but not in a public forum for the obvious.

“CPS is spending a ton of money housing these 10”

CPS will extort this money back from the parents (child support crap) or their bank account will be seized. Out of control govt at every level.

Why can't the Naugler parents simply let their kids go to government schools. They provide such a great educational experience!

Baltimore is a good example. Why, Baltimore spends $17,196 per student! Only a mere 55 percent of Baltimore fourth graders scored "below basic" in reading while a whopping 14 percent scored at the proficient or advanced level! Meanwhile, a miniscule 54 percent of eighth graders scored "below basic" in math, while an astounding 13 percent were proficient or advanced!

I'll bet the Naugler family can't even come close to that achievement level. Besides, I don't see any Social Services experts needing to ride to the rescue in Baltimore like they need to do on the Blessed Little Homestead!

The Amish have been “unschooling” their children in this country for 150 years. Their children learn farming, woodworking, metalworking, textiles, etc. Very little public education or formal homeschooling. They have managed to preserve their way of life and values.

Would you presume them more or less fit for citizenry than the bottom 50% of urban children that have attended public school?

On the contrary, I WANT them to consider us dangerous, to see how we defy them, to observe us constantly articulating our rights and willingness to die for them.

Let them observe, monitor, log, take note, jot down, collect the data, record, make a list until the cows come home. I hope they spend all their waking hours obsessed with us. I hope they fret, worry, have concerns, feel frustration, and get mentally tormented.

A free people MUST stand up to this; not cower. I’m not saying you are suggesting we cower, but my point is I’m not going to stop posting or try to hide my identity.

F’em.

In most states it’s much easier to find and buy 180 proof Vodka than Raw Milk.

One is an addictive poison and the other is good for you.

Those children look healthy to me. Ok so the housing is not shall I say up to par like us “city” dwellers live but I will say this. I envy them for having a large acre of land. These kids look happy and clean.

I do not know what you saw. As for me I am viewing the picture and they are wearing clean clothes. OMG there is a picture of the kids playing in the mud.

“They are living like cavemen” - When this country gets attack by an EMP or Nuclear we will be forced to live like cavemen - we will have no choice.

Hate to tell you, but most of America can’t read at the 9th grade level. Math, I don’t know about, except to say that Common Core is making sure we have no research scientists or accountants or physicists in the next generation.

How brave of that poor LEO, having to fend off a 5-months pregnant woman.

And to think. What a WONDERFUL way for Kentucky to commemorate Mother’s Day by taking away all 10 children, right down to the infant, from their mother and father.

All acres are the same size.
An acre is defined as a unit of land area equal to 4,840 square yards.

On a different, but somewhat related topic, whether someone gets their education in public school, private school, homeschooling, or unsachooling - wouldn’t you think that an employer could tell something about the prospective employee’s competence on basic educational skills by how they fill out an employment application?

On the other hand, it seems as though many employers don’t do handwritten applications anymore, but are done “online” - which seems to be something that could easily be faked by having someone else fill out the online form. With a hand-written form you can see if the prospective employee can: read and understand questions, spell, express themselves competently, etc.

It used to be the day you filled out the form, in person, that you were often interviewed right then and there. Of course, I realize I am speaking of entry level type jobs, but my point is, it would seem to me that where you got your education to read, write, do math, etc., is irrelevant as long as you can do it competently.

The argument by the state is that if a child is not “properly educated” they are more likely to become a burden to the community. But, as many have already pointed out, statistics show that more than half of public educated kids can’t do basic reading, writing, or math. So who is “abusing” who?

Now, if real neglect can be demonstrated, that’s a different issue.

It is way past time that agents of the state start dying over this kind of crap.

Facebook is the best thing to happen for law enforcement since fingerprinting. Better yet, they spend absolutely nothing on the data gathering equipment!

Yes, we will. They will be Chinese and Indian immigrants.
