How can this be justified as a “conservative position” when that’s exactly what we’re trying to stop ... in having the government “pick up the tab” on anything that we’re not willing or “able” to take care of. This is what a LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE are saying about all sorts of other things ... “We’re not able to afford this, so the government needs to do this for us!”
OK, so how many thousands of dollars should this Mom pay (if she has it) before she goes bankrupt and the state has to take the kid anyway? He is criminally insane.
Or just let him rape his sister (or your kid) and get him locked up in juvie. Jail is state intervention, too. And an option she has, if she presses charges.
believe me, if you have never faced the choices you have when a family member is insane or a threat to themselves or others, and needs long term perhaps lifetime institutionalization - you should not preach.
maybe you or the other family guy posters could offer to adopt him? How’s your medical insurance? Got 100K spare cash to pay - for the first year?
