Just being a parent is now sufficient grounds for being suspected of drunken, drug-abusing, kid-diddling criminal behavior.

They’re watching you right now. They counted every beer you drank during last night’s Red Sox game. They see you sneaking out to the garage for a smoke. They know if you’ve got a gun, and where you keep it.
They’re your kids, and they’re the National Security Agency of the Nanny State.PING

Had a PA (docotr’s assitant) ask me about whether I owned guns. I said “none of your business” and immediately changed doctors. Asking this question in Texas is a good “revenue reduction program” for MDs.

And the oh so helpful school “counselors”, who would be drain shovelers without their government jobs, are equally complicit. I had one trying to find problems in elementary school. We (the parents) got her moved on down the line. Can’t fire ‘em unfortunately.

Debbie is a mom from Uxbridge who was in the examination room when the pediatrician asked her 5-year-old, “Does Daddy own a gun?”
When the little girl said yes, the doctor began grilling her and her mom about the number and type of guns, how they are stored, etc.
If the incident had ended there, it would have merely been annoying.
But when a friend in law enforcement let Debbie know that her doctor had filed a report with the police about her family’s (entirely legal) gun ownership, she got mad.Thought you guys might be interested in this ... PING

I understand the motivation, but the practice really creeps me out.
Yes, some parents are not to be trusted - but I am afraid I trust government so much less that I am willing to take my chances with the parents.

And just wait until you get Hillary!Care. The snooping’s going to be even worse.
To: SubGeniusX
Man, if my son ever comes back from an appointment and tells me that his doc asked him personal questions like these, said doc might just get his own trip to the emergency room on a stretcher.
To: Glenmore
This is a preview of what we can expect under Hillary’s health plan. Toe the line, America!!

This is a joke, isn’t it?
To: SubGeniusX
They’re doing it in Michigan, too. I took my 6 yr old daughter to the ER for strep throat and they asked her if she was afraid to go home, or if anyone was hurting her. She looked at me like, “Huh?”
To: SubGeniusX
Turning your parents into the cops. How Nazi.

You’re absolutely right! But it won’t end with just snooping.

What fools we would be(!) if we cannot see spying on families and the anti-gun agendas being a part of any socialized medicine system. If the American people accept socialized medicine, eventually all physicians and dentists and chiropractors and foot masseurs will be required to ask questions about what we have in our homes and what our daily activities and habits are.
To: Gay State Conservative
And the man who created that system is running for president as a Republican.

Our son is 19 now, but when he was 6, he and his dad were playing soccer in the back yard and as my son dove to block a ball (he was the goalie,) he injured his hand. We took him to our local ER, and he had a broken bone and growth plate in his hand. We were all “quizzed” separately as to what actually happened. i guess they wanted to know if dad had abused him and broken the kid’s hand. And this was 13 years ago. From this article it seems like things have gotten out of hand.
