Yeah, and I also read that they made their children do the dishes. Monsters! Monsters I tell ya.

To compare making children do dishes with sexual molestation is SICK! To imply that physical treatment leading to hospital care is merely corporal punishment is ridiculous.

I'm accused of being a vile libertarian on FR, yet I don't advocate wholeheartedly throwing support to a group just because they fight for what I believe. I believe the government should stay out of the way of parents who want to educate their children--yet it must be involved in actual abuse and neglect cases. The problem is, the lines are blurred by cases like this, allowing overreach.

I made no such comparison. You're foolish to draw that parallel.

Again, why is it that the children are still in the home?
