Great irony.
At some point these ‘authorities’ need to start paying a very, very heavy personal price for this crap.
Distrusting the government is what makes us AMERICAN! It’s why the country was established in the first place.
Govt bureaucrats don’t want the truth to be know.
Point proven. Next lesson class.
I’ll state only the following on this matter:
I accepted my first wifes offer of divorce at the inconvenient time she was pregnant with my daughter in the mid 1970’s because of her penchant for marijuana, and trying to shove it off on me as acceptable behavior. My daughter was born months later high on marijuana, and to this day has problems with drugs, as well my Grandson.
I don’t like the crap. Don’t like people that do, and don’t want to talk about it any further with any of you Libertarian a-holes that constantly defend the use of it here at FR.
Guaranteed there’s drugs, and drug money behind much of our woes in this land today.
It seems that the government reaction proves the parent’s teachings.
I guess they were able to observe this first hand now.
It sounds like the parents are real losers and unfit but the writer singled in on a few troubling remarks by the police in order to create bogeymen out of all officials who want to keep drugs out of our kids’ faces. Typical Libertarian stuff. “The biggest evil in America are drug laws!”
Once the article admitted that the family broke the law and used drugs, I lost all respect for the Coopers. It sounds like they got busted legally and are now crying foul.
I guess the moral of this story is “if you intend on breaking the law and doing drugs then you should expect to have your other lifestyle choices (i.e. parenting) scrutinized”. Ever hear of “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”? What do you want to bet that the Coopers are still smoking pot even after this whole incident?
Sad to say, if Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he’d likely be deemed “unsuitable”.
My distrust of the government is deep, my loathing of CPS far deeper. Somewhere in between, my contempt for people who use illegal drugs.
And better a millstone around your neck in the midst of the sea, than that you should expose your children to that garbage.
Sow....reap.
And if you believe that, we'll take your parents away from you.
Where's the "Kill those who say Islam is Violent!" sign ?
The cops'probable cause was they thought they reconized a voice in the background of a possible false call to the police?
That sounds AWFUL weak to me!
The website of the couple. This article is slanted and very misleading.

I’ve never been much for “Back in the good ‘ol days..” types of arguments, but threads like this make me long for the days before pathetic, servile fawning at anything waving a tin badge become a “value” to some conservatives.
I bought him a transistor radio last week and do you think it was pop music he wanted to listen to? Nope, He tuned it to conservative talk radio and would not change it even when I asked if I could fine a music station for him. At bed he found a station playing old time radio shows and he was listening to Edger Bergen / Charlie McCarty. I could hear him laughing at all the punch lines. I could of told him to turn it off and go to bed, but then thought, what the heck. He is now hooked on my cassette tapes of those same shows, playing them over and over again.
And yesterday guess what I see him building with Legos. The Hooters Bowling Alley down the road from our house, complete with a hooters logo sign he cut out of a coupon in our coupon drawer. As a Dad I Gotta love it. That's my Boy.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence would then have had all of their kids taken from them.
