It's VERY hard to slap sunburn protection on a kid. My mom used to try it all the time and when she succeeded it was promptly washed off by yours truly. Couldn't stand the smell, the bugs it attracted, the dirty feel of the stuff, and how it made the weather feel hotter than it was. And I got toasted, but it's my own fault if I ever develop skin cancer, not mom's. No police force in the world was going to get me to wear that crap, and the idea that a mother could be arrested for it is obscene.

The state should go back to concentrating on serious crime and get the heck out of the nanny business. Government can't even properly take care of children in government custody or provide a decent education for kids in school, much less be entrusted to determine every aspect of parenting.

sunburn protection levels now under the jurisdiction of states?

hmmnnn.....

Where in the handy dandy state constitution do we find the chapter and verse, where the STATE or LOCAL government gets to enforce sunblock protection on family members of private citizens?

ANYTHING can be stretched into a "child endangerment" charge... anything. Give your kids a sucker recently? danger from choking. Discover all too late that your kid has developed a peanut butter allergy? Uh oh! Mommie might go to jail for a lONG time....

BUT if teacher gives suzie directions to the abortion clinic, where she gets an abortion and KILLS little baby foetus, and mr. doctor, scrapes the uterus so closely he hemorages the girl and kills her... NOBODY goes to jail... it was her own business... her own body, her own choice.

talk about a NATION that is f'd up to the total max!!!

arrest the mommies, but let the illegal arab terrorists come here and live on us student visa status LONG after they are expired....

idiots. we look, and ACT like idiots.

these social service types need to have their jobs, in entirety and without exception eliminated... forever.

unbelievable.
