Reply #80: this is heartbreaking -- all of it. but i really do love the idea of "criminal" offense [View All]

as opposed to the family court system. this makes a lot of sense to me. make so that the "offense" must rise to the level of a crime, and use the justice system that's already in place to judge the crime.

this gives me a lot to think about. thank you for sharing!

btw, i was an adopted...kind of a special situation. grandparents adopted me, by birth mother really was "unfit" b/c of addiction. the grandmother knew what that if child protective services got involved...even back in the late 60s...that it wouldn't end well. so, she fought to adopt me. it took 6 years. i have the feeling that nowadays i might not have landed with family. terrifying.
