I don’t know what the case is here, but “malnourished” is a handy weapon for the statists to throw around.

I understand what you are saying here, however the authorities just don't wander into a home without reason. Until evidence proves otherwise, I think we need to be on the side of the children. Geez I hope I don't sound like Hitlary.

There is nowhere near enough information in this article to make a decision either way, but one of the easiest areas where the state can greatly overstep their bounds in the area of parenting.

If these kids are being seriously mistreated, I'm happy to see them taken away from their parents, but I won't take the state's word for it.

I am making no judgement call on this case as far too much information is missing but 'authorities' can and will wander into a home on nothing more than an anonymously placed phone call.
