Yes!

I generally look at my side of the street first and where I am wrong I admit it. We take responsibility in our family.

The kid was wrong - PERIOD!

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time — Words to live by.

Or, if you get in trouble and all your stuff gets taken away because that is what the law says, blame someone else because your kid was idiot enough to bring drugs into your home — Be a victim.

Again, in our family, we chose to take responsibility for our actions.

Wow, so confiscating property from private citizens who haven’t committed a crime, with no due process, is okay in your book, as long as “that is what the law says”. Well, at least you are willing to go on record with that sentiment.

"...Retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer..."

Ever look up "petty" in the dictionary? How very appropos...

So the kid bought heroin, so what? How does that justify any rational demand of forfeiture by the parents under U.S. Code? I want to see the wording of the law which makes that legal.

Inquiring minds want to know.

How on earth could the parents not see that their spud was dealing drugs in the house? Or bringing drugs into the house?

In *our* family, if YOU do the crime, YOU do the time.

Meaning: If a girl has sex and gets pregnant, that baby doesn’t pay the price.

If the son decides to screw around with drugs, HE pays the price, not the entire family.

We are all about *individual responsibility* but we are not about collective punishment.
