Gay rights activists will side with her, and baby Molly will be with Mommy and Mommy's new "domestic partners." Violence is just another lifestyle choice.
You really ARE a thinkin’ gal! That scarf is a cover-up, not an accessory. These photos are propaganda for her, not photojournalism.
Revolution.
None.
The 'agents' have been brain-washed out of all humanity and reasoning capabilities - You must become a robotron
many are misdiagnosed as such - hanging a mill stone around their neck for life...
In the past 30 years, anyone who isn't milk-toast, can easily be diagnosed with any one of a myriad of "borderlines" - it's great for the drug companies and medical communities...and social services who seem to have more "certifiables" employed than most professions.
I sat in on hearings in my state capitol where the state admitted that up to 86% of the families they move against by taking the child out of the home - prove to be unfounded.
Those children have been traumatized, their security in the ability of their parents to protect them in the safety of their home, forever taken away - child abuse, and nothing else.
Their answer to this: "Well, we'd rather err in the name of caution."
So their reasoning is that if they traumatize 86 children out of a hundred totally without foundation - that's okay?
That okay with you?
According to my wife the shrink, borderlines often "outgrow" the disorder. That said, borderlines are seriously messed up and make life difficult for everyone around them. People and situations are either completely terrific or totally awful, and the two can switch without notice.
Men: If your new girlfriend has scars from where she has cut herself, don't walk away, run.
If you aren't in state child services, you've missed your calling. You have the mind set. Take a baby away from it's natural mother, away from breast feeding, with absolutely no evidence that this mother has ever harmed a child or will.
If the state makes this an established pattern, there wont be many babies raised by their parents - not everyone fits the mold that the state determines what or who is normal.
I know a young mother with Aspergers. . She's a pain in the neck. She has no seeming awareness of anyone else's rights or thoughts etc...and yet, she is a single mother of an 8 year old - and one of the best and most devoted mothers I know.
Her daughter is happy, healthy, always clean and well dressed, is ahead of her age in reading, writing, verbal skills, etc -= because her mother takes so much time with her.
She has dancing lessons, and many other social outlets. An adorable and well loved little girl.
By your standards, she would have been taken at birth -
It is naivete or socialist mindset?
Totally agree with your whole post - Maybe, just maybe, a few more people will wake up if they finally get Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" movie made next spring - and if they do it right.
She spells out the baby-steps with which Socialism/Communism takes over a country - all it takes if for most people to be asleep - and the Socialist/Communist personalities will rise up and pull on their jack boots.
For the, I expect, vast majority of people who haven't/wont read 'that BIG book' Atlas Shrugged, many WILL go to the movie - and some, hopefully enough, will then take the blinders off.
Take courage. (These jack-booters have been beaten back before - we can do it again.)

The scarf in post 2 looked a little odd to me (just seemed a bit out of place style-wise). Compare the view in post 3. There is some kind of blue band/thing that the scarf is covering up. What did she do to her neck?
You folk = and many others on this thread would really, but really make top-notch nanny-state worker bees. Here's the original poop on the story (and in my world, I hope for people who explore and research a situation before condemning a child to the loss of it's mother)
"Lyon frank about her history.
Lyon, who works for Borderline UK, helping people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, is frank about her own personal history. She explains that, by 13 or 14, she was “already seriously anorexic” and “was being quite seriously abused”.
By her own account, she was raped by an acquaintance while working as a volunteer in a charity shop and her behaviour became increasingly self-destructive. In addition to her difficulties with eating, she began self-harming by cutting her arms.
To complicate matters further, Lyon says that since the age of 11 she has suffered from angioedema (swelling of the skin) and for the past two years has been fitted with a permanent tracheostomy tube to help her breathe.
At 15, Lyon says she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and admitted to the Cassel Hospital in Richmond, south London, where she spent a year as an in-patient, followed by nine months as an out-patient. The diagnosis was finally removed when she was 18.
She works for Borderline, the scarf is to cover up a tracheostomy tube, The diagnosis of borderline was finally removed when she was 18.
She mentions the domestic dispute with her partner, in one place, saying "my ex" in another = no where is there any mention of a gay lover, as others here have alluded too - etc etc.
I think I'd trust this gal with my child before some of the personalities I've read in here tonight: "Borderline Nanny-Staters".
have we really gone that far into socialist/communist, nanny-state thinking?
BUMP
[Rolling eyes]. What did she do to her neck? Well, apparently nothing. She's got a trache tube. You could have just posted that info without getting all indignant. Talk about being quick to judge.
The bureaucrats deserve long prison terms for that, ten years or more, but they won’t get it.
Common sense evaluation is not nanny-stating. You are relying on her own story of what happened ..... uh, that’s a sure path to being made a fool. Use your brain.
This is the battle you choose to fight? Are you with the ACLU?
.....caused by self-poisoning?
You just proved his point exactly.
