"If fascism is your thing, more power to you."

If strawman arguments are your thing, I pity you.

"I cannot condone the state destroying children."

Destroying children is raising them so poorly they engage in acts whose consequences they are unprepared for. You might as well encourage them to go bungee jumping with frayed ropes. As a parent, I can only suggest you to try to understand the plight of this mother.

Saving children is giving them enough guidance, direction and rules so they make it to adulthood without unbearble burdens (like premature parenthood, drug abuse, or anti-social behavior).

"They did not even act. How do you figure they obviously broke laws?"

Read the article. They did act enought so that they were charged and convicted on misdemeanors and given probation. They broke laws. Is the rule of law so hard to understand?

I am not condoning their activity. i believe the family should straighten them out by any means possible.

The idea of a tyrannical state acting as parent, forcing them to take mind altering drugs and to see leftist psychiatrists that will program them and take away all of their liberty is just plain evil.

Not convicted yet.

Today's JSOnline tells us that the judge denied the motions, meaning there will be a trial.

The worst these kids will get will be juvenile hall until 18 years old. More likely a few months in Juvie and then CLOSE supervision by a probation type.
