Oh boy, Madame Defarge. I didn't THINK of this! Kids COULD turn in their smoking parents. This is so sick..........
Scary, ain't it?
Doesn't seem much of a stretch to me for Kevin ConDuctTape, Maine DHS Czar, to push the envelope just that much further, though.
Empire building and all.

Jailed Parents Imposed Views on Their Own Children
A Minnesota couple has been jailed on suspicion of imposing their own views on their young children. A public school teacher first alerted the division of family services (DFS) which immediately took three children out of the home pending an investigation. The arrest was made as the family left a Sunday morning worship service.
"We found in this home evidence of the worst sort of bigotry," said a spokeswoman for DFS. "Not only were these children receiving explicit instruction in the religion of their parents, to the exclusion of all others, but the parents also imposed a whole range of their own provincial ideas upon the youngsters. These little blank-slate minds were subjected to dogmatic instruction in everything from eating, clothing and hygiene practices, to beliefs about virtue, sin and the existence of God."
The children will continue in public school and will be reared in the Huxley-Freud Group Home, where they will receive intensive post-traumatic stress counseling and instruction from government-approved text books.
