And if the father’s mother is a risk because she was arrested for drugs, is the grandfather’s sister a risk since she was arrested this past week for breaking and entering?

Um, I think there is quite a bit of difference between a thief and a drug addict when it comes to a baby's safety. I'd prefer not to leave my baby with a criminal at all. But murderers, rapists, drug addicts and dealers are definitely out. Alcoholics are also out.

If you think there is a hair’s difference between a drug dealer and someone who went to the same house twice and brought their own 4 year old with them to commit the crime, go right ahead.

I don’t see any difference. And if you think really hard about *why* someone would need to commit robbery over and over again, and do so with a preschooler in tow, you might not either.
