Yes, after all, the children need to be performin sex acts in front of the class as early as second grade.

They won’t have such a delicious opportunity in a religious home school.

I’m praying “come Lord Jesus, before they become teens”, actually...

May I ask what bearing the first amendment has on a mother and father who petition the court to decide a dispute between them? The state is not the initiator here. The father is.

Your comment does not even deserve an answer.

As a grandfather whose grandkids were abused by DCF. Ditto marks. Over 2 1/2 years of hell.

“DON’T MARRY A FEMINIST.”

Feminism is a disease. It is caught by the wife hanging around with anti-family associates.

It is definitely anti-family. I think that's the whole point. And I know the ultimate source of this idea.

My comment mirrored your own despicable comment and was meant to point out the nonsense of it. I see you noticed the illogic of it.

I remember reading about Jenkins taking baths with Isabella and from what I remember, Isabella didn't like it and cried to her biological mother. At the time this was going through the courts, I was hoping she would go underground — We would have taken the mother and child into our home, no questions asked.

I believe Isabella will turn 18 in April 2020. I'm hoping mother and child can stay hidden until that time or longer.

I realize that there are cases where this doesn’t workout the way intended, but that is a small percentage in the big picture. Women move out of State all the time in disregard to court custody orders and usually get away with it. Most opf the time they falsely claim some sort of abuse and are excused.

Oh bobL - I feel sorry for you. I highly doubt that metmom's daughters are gold digging feminists. I haven't found very many homeschooled girls who are. Most are kind, caring young ladies who know what it means to take care of a family and a home, even if that includes working. Most aren't expecting a mcmansion and a new BMW - most want a family and a home and a happy life.

But I agree with metmom - men like you should be going to some impoverished country to buy a wife who will cow down to your whims.

Off topic but I’ll answer. I just read (okay skimmed) the book Escape about a woman who escaped from a polygamist compound and according to her the children went to the local public school that was basically run by the leaders of the cult, the principal was a member, the teachers etc..I don’t know how the state didn’t get involved..and then they started a private schools etc. I guess I should actually read the book but it is so badly written..but that’s what this book claims.

Isn’t Feminism” a class taught in public schools?

I’ve also learned that the child support statutes have been perverted to fund DCF in many if not all states. Where as this concept was meant to go after dead-beat dads and sometimes moms, it has gone far beyond that. If a state takes children out of the home because they allege the children to be unsafe, they use the child support statutes to extract revenue from either/both parent(s) and continue this for what could be years. Where is the incentive for these DCF agencies to let cases close? They have a license to steal from parents and continue to this day.

As I read, I remember what made the case shocking to me.

It was because the child is NOT the adopted child of the lesbian. In essence, the lesbian is a step-parent who was “divorced”. Yet the judge gave her custody! Why? It seems the judge simply does not like the actual mother, because she doesn’t want the lesbian to have access to the child.

Now I’m sure crazy judges have done this, but it certainly is not the norm to take a child from a parent and give it to a step parent that the parent divorced. The judge, I am sure, has a major progressive agenda. He is probably a hero to the radical community.

Fortunately I have no knowledge or experience with divorce, child support, or child protective services.

“Most are kind, caring young ladies who know what it means to take care of a family and a home”

I guess the problem with these women is that they tend to marry relatively early, so when people a bit older come looking, they’re already taken - and there are not that many to begin with (relatively speaking). So, for most guys that I know (who are over 30), it’s either a liberated feminist, or nothing - unless they get outside our crappy social system (again, generally speaking).

Well, keep up the good work. I’m sure some mother of younger girls will be blessed.
