I’m implying when your kids are young adolescents you got to put your own needs on a back burner if you want to get through those years successfully. They talk tough, but they are a fragile lot.

maph, if you read an article like that one of us put up-ie not one fact or shred of evidence , you would be saying this is "unreliable." Please post corroborating facts to back up this "story" cuz why comment if it's not true?

This was the first comment to this article. Makes sense then; makes sense now.

Turkish bloomers of 1851. But don’t pay any attention to me, I know nothing about history.

Lot of incomplete and outright misinformation here. CPS doesn't come unless someone complains - even if it is for something completely false and unjustified. Story needs to contain contact with CPS to find out more to be complete. I would also add that having never heard of the source, credibility is also an issue especially when the author did nothing to contact or quote any sources. This entire post could be fiction.

IF this happened, we really need to know CPS' REAL reasoning for doing so before making any judgments. Would it be sufficient to take the children if the only justification was the "father's" gender identification? No. Never. But one should keep in mind that this isn't investigative reporting, it is a BLOG post. It should be taken with a VERY LARGE grain of salt. I echo the calls for links to corroborating stories that give more details. It's pretty easy to bring out the rose-colored glasses in cases like this that inflame personal sensitivities (maph - looking at you).

The article was a lil light on evidence, and seemed more to be about making people feel sorry for the storyline because the one supposed parent was trasgender. Perhaps there is more. One thing I know, according to what the article did say, a parent chose to lie to those who probably were the closest support for the couple. Betrayal, I’m thinking. Whether straight or otherwise, kids first. Lead by example and don’t lie about such important things.

mimi, lots of personal FEELINGS here-are you telling me they don't play a role? been caught up in a divorce? lots of feelings there too. same thing with kids

The guy wasn’t gay. He wanted to be a woman. Please link me to an article where children are being raised happily by, I don’t know...drag queens, or something?

omg, she will Big LOVE it.
she will also enjoy our novel Pendulum of Justice, as will you mitch. shameless plug

Riiiight. I did mention the daughter came to me when she saw me arrive to beg me to not tell people that her ’father’ was there. She wanted *him* introduced as the nanny. Her terrified face will haunt me forever. Selfish and pathetic. He wasn’t any kind of father or woman.

Yes and no. It is the same issue - the government taking our freedoms away more and more.

Your example is different in that the constitution grants our right to own and possess weapons, explicitly. (Not as obvious with some of our other freedoms, more like general coverage.)

But since you brought it up -- what do think we should at this point to stop our freedoms from being taken away?
