I don't believe it , common sense?
http://www.cmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dl...1029/OPINION03 Re "Fall from truck brings charges for mom" (Monitor, Jan. 31): Doesn't our school system use discretion in cases like this? Are they not obliged to use common sense before jumping the gun and calling DCYF? After they asked the child what had happened, why didn't they call the parents? Was this child so badly mutilated that their first thought was abuse? She stood up in the back of a truck while it was moving and fell out. Her mother did not push her out, which I would call abuse; she fell. After DCYF closed the case, whose decision was it to press charges against Jennifer? Isn't DCYF the agency that deals with child abuse? Aren't they the people trained to detect and deal with child abuse? I see no negligence on the part of the mother. How is she negligent or responsible for the injuries her daughter received? It is common practice for parents to pick up their kids at the bus stop and have them ride in the back. We all learn at a very early age that if you stand up when it's moving, you're gonna fall. If parents were held responsible for all the foolish things our kids did that resulted in injury, we would all be guilty of abuse or neglect. Now I'm sure her kids are walking to and from the bus stop, which is a lot more dangerous than getting a ride from Mom. KELLEY SMITH Canterbury I don't believe it, someone with common sense! CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED LIBERTIES & CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS.... CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... "SAVE THE FAMILY AND YOU SAVE THE CHILD" |
