As a consequence, have a person’s kids taken away? Or should there be any consequences?

****PLEASE READ

I’m straightforward and don’t want to give any ‘fluff’ So I don’t know how else to ask this question without it sounding rage baity.

This isn’t a gotcha or trap to argue with anyone I feel and believe I can learn something of value from people I disagree with. It is interesting to know why you disagree and what reasons make you feel x y and z about things.

I’m here to listen, not judge or throw around name calling or fight with you. You feel the way you do for whatever reason, and I want to know a little more about why you do and that is it.

I would like for everyone to feel confident voicing how they feel about this question. I don’t care if I disagree with you. Fighting with you is not how I’d like to spend my evening. I’m sure you don’t either.

I might ask follow ups like, “Why is it that you feel that way?” Or “can you tell me a little bit more” so I can understand your point of view better. And that’s it.

If that feels too much or you don’t want to. Totally fine. Just ignore my comment to you.

Thanks for your time.

    I would probably support it if they were being physically or emotionally abused, but the devil is in the details. Forced foster care is not a scenario where I would just say that child will definitely be better off in than with their family. As sad as it is, some kids end up in worse positions if their foster parents are also terrible people.

    Every case is different, and I’m never going to advocate for a blanket solution for every child.

      Thank you. Yea, I’ve heard bad things too about foster care. It’s really a sad reality for some. Especially kids who have downs .I watched a documentary where they put the girls on downs on birth control because they get raped :/ that’s…awful…

      Thank you for all your input. Hope you have a good one
