Awesome thanks

What better options are there? I’m old so don’t know

The analogy doesn’t work because we aren’t talking about forced bodily resource donation. Long term foster care benefits is different when we’re talking about a newborn, especially as they’re particularly at risk of unlawful death.

If you have a mother who was known to be a risk to children due to her substance misuse and tested positive for opiates after birth, how do you suggest the baby is safeguarded?

Yep exactly. It may be a fuck up by CPS but it may be that she’s already flagged as a risk so they’ve put the child first.

If she’s already been found to be a risk to her child due to substance misuse issues and she’s failed a drug test, then the child should be taken. Further analysis can be done on the sample, but in the short term the newborn needs to be safeguarded. Babies under a year are particularly at risk of death from CP issues, and the child’s needs come first.

If it’s how it’s being made out, I’m seriously concerned. However, it’s different if she was already on the CP radar for drug use, and her taking the baby home depended on her providing clean tests. The child needs to come first

It’s also way easier for her to defend it. Ribbing her appearance is a cheap shot, and she can fight it…the rest of it she can’t

The dog she can justify with him trying to bite her (not saying I agree, but she can provide justification). The goat isn’t justifiable at all.

Same shit different day

Ive seen that film

Mythical beasts and unicorns

Haha brilliant 👏

Yep or they’re just abusive/neglectful parents. Surely the staff member must have told colleagues they’d collected the kids? You don’t just do it on a whim, there’s procedures, laws and policies in place so managers must have known. And NONE of them realised the child was in the car?

I know it’s horrifying. This isn’t a momentary lapse there’s no defence for it. It’s so bad I’m wondering if it’s deliberate

Yes exactly. There’s a complete difference between mob justice and say, driver waving weapon screaming “I’ll kill you all”

“In other news water is still wet, and the sun is still hot”

This needs more upvotes

I know, he’s managed to be ableist as well as a predator

I nearly became straight just reading the sentence, I can imagine it’s power said out loud. Welcome to straight land!
