I guess we will have to agree to disagree then. You value parent choice over a child's life and I can not agree with that. Personally, I'd rather live in a society where there is a mechanism that allows child services to steps in to make decision in the best interests of a child when parents are judged to be in neglect of their responsibilities.

The problem you're missing is that you and I may disagree on "life threatening" and we may disagree on when the government gets to take away your parental rights. If you're comfortable with me making that decision for you and your family then I'd say you're no longer capable of making sane decisions. I'm sorry sir, but I'm going to have to make all of your decisions for you from now on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:5/messageid:211099 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
