The child protection people" promise to save the child the first thing Monday morning by proclimating that abortion be made retroactive so the child can be saved like the other 4,400 that are saved by abortion every day.I am so impressed by the concern for children and babies but stand astonished at the neglect and disconcern for the unborn.

You might want to save this post for an abortion thread.

WHat you SAID, was the only FReepers who are correct are those who think we ought to turn our heads while a mother beats the hell out of her kid.

Gee, where did I say that?! And I don't recall posting any comments from FReepers who thought it was okay for a mom to 'beat the hell out of her kid,' only comments from FReepers who thought it was okay to beat the hell out of a mother who is accused of beating the hell out of her kids.

and I'm ashamed they show up here on FR pretending to be "conservatives."

I'm ashamed that someone who thinks Hitlery's book, "It Takes a Village" is the new conservative bible, shows up here.

Go worship at the alter of your big government, alphabet soup agencies somewhere else. Hey, never mind CPS, let's hand them over to the ATF. After all, burning children alive prevents future abuse, right?

Please forgive them their moral-outrage, and we'll try to forgive the moral-cowardice of the ideologues.

where there is no thievery, no scams, no bilking the elderly, no beatings for not "going along with the deal."

Instead she can rest safely in the arms of CPS, where she can be treated to starvation, molestation and mutalation.

Only in your sick, libertarian mind.

Still divorced from Reality, we see. Be sure to write Hillary to thank her for allowing you to sneer at anyone's valid concerns for the welfare of innocent children.

I confess freely: I am using words!

I also admit: I am trying to discuss what I posted!

And if you want to see it as a game, that's okay by me!

You, toots, are one sick woman. I hope to hell one of two scenarios ring true here. Either you never viewed that video or that you are childless.

I think that CPS is the worst state agency in existence. They are totally awful people. And yet, once in a while they luck out and do the right thing. In my opinion, this is their "once". That little girl should not be with this family until this thing gets sorted out.

The mama's going to trial. The rest of them are thieving drifters - flight risks, inbred "Unschoolers" who run and hide from authority. After the trial this child should be placed with a relative (perhaps even before). But she should be protected until her safety can be expected.

And how do you know this is the same child that was strapped into the back seat of that SUV? If you don't think the "Travelers" are capable of a simple bait and switch,you need to get out more.

Which raises the question, do these "Travelers" understand DNA testing?

Well said. It's discouraging to see a deadly serious topic sidetracked with second-rate baiting.

The true FReepers are those who are concerned about the little girl, about her welfare.

It's funny, but you sound just like Hillary Clinton here!

Am I sick because I quoted you, riley1992?

What does my having viewed the video have to do with what I posted? I posted breaking news with quotes from the prosecutor and a link. I posted mulitple comments from FReepers prophecying that the child was going to be in pretty rough shape (and she wasn't). And I posted quotes from FReepers who showed reticence in jumping to conclusions about the Toogood case, and who made observations about the folks who did.

I think it is sick to wish childlessness upon another woman, especially a fellow FReeper. But then, feminists have turned things upside down.
