Watch out pot heads!

Poor kid ... it won't be his parents who get the chance to mistreat him (like they haven't enough already) ... it will be the DHS "system" that he is about to become a card-carrying member of ...

I am all for a little fun and games every now and again, but when you have kids that kind of stuff gets put on hold. Kids come first, period. What kind of parents would do something like this??

I'm curious to hear how you feel the children were mistreated.

Smoking weed in front of your kids is about as irresponsible as being drunk in front of your kids, but they shouldn't be taken away by the state just because of that. That would be like taking the kids away from someone who has 5 beers or so on a Saturday night, except the beer just makes you giggle and eat marshmallows. Not everyone smokes until completely whited out, just like not everyone drinks to get schnammered.

I'm going to preempt anyone saying "BUT ZOMG POT IS ILLEGAL" by saying that these guys were charged with misdemeanor possession. They weren't dealing or growing. This is like some family during Prohibition having a bottle of Jack Daniels in the cupboard.

God, I have so much negative to say about this........I'd better hold my tongue though if I want to stay on this forum.

That kid is a HERO!

Why for sending himself to an adoption facility to be lost in a system that has no funds and gives 2 $h*ts!!!

How do you know that the kid was not loved beyond belief and had everything he needed in life to succeed but was brainwashed into believing the Government knew better.

Your particular type of thinking is what has done us in as a Nation.

Edit: At least there is a small amount of reason on here, still I do not understand how even though it may be "ILLEGAL" may I remind you so is leaving your Dog's poop in the public park, there are a lot of LAWS, not a whole lot of REASON or LOGIC to them all though.

I don't know about the law in that state but in Oklahoma anything under 25 pounds is a misdemeanor. unless they can prove you are dealing. Marijuana cause loss in judgement, so it is possible that if a parent was "High" enough they might offer the drug to a child, of what if they got so "High" they dropped the joint and burned the house down? I completely agree with taking the child away from the parents

I'll give the Whitey rundown:

1.) Parents broke the law. There is no logical argument against the fact they broke the law.
2.) Another example of how taxes are going to be used on what is a battle that cannot be won.
3.) I somewhat agree with the removal of the kids. If you are going to partake in a controlled substance, you need to ensure your kids don't have access to it. (alcohol, drugs, etc). If your kids can get to it, that's negligence.
4.) Even if legalized (which I think it should be), I would still see this as a crime.

Wow...scary!! Kids....get out of daddy's roommmmmm!!!!

 

[dennishoddy]

I would still see this as a crime.

As would leaving precription drugs, and alcohol available.

Exactly my point. Negligence is child abuse.

And here we go with another doper thread....

I'll just bow out now. You guys have your mind made up that pot is the dog's danglies. Have fun with that.
