"You must not know any hard drug users. They do not live in the "backstreet". The ones I know even live in big expensive houses. They are ALL a threat. They cannot act responsibly, they are a danger to their children, they are not in control of themselves. They have no right to do that in my state."

No I don't know any hard drug users nor do I care to know any. And any that might live someplace in a "big expensive house" is not my problem either.

Yes, I can conceive how a hard drug user could be a threat to him/herself and his/her immediate family. But that's a personal and family matter and none of your nor my business.

If a child is being abused or neglected because the parent is a hard drug user, then other family members need to step in first. Meantime, you, I, and all the rest take a backseat until all else fails. In that case, with no others stepping forward, then and only then should the state step in when there is a clear and present danger to the child/ren. And then only to rescue the abused and neglected child while offering assistance to the drug abusing parent/s to get back on the right track.

But to burst into their home locked and loaded risking death and/or injury to the child/ren? You can't be serious.

I give you Waco. Allegedly the fed went there to "save the children." What did they do? They killed the children. Good plan. When the parents refused to surrender, they just killed them all, parents and children alike. Is this your justice? Is this what you want? Is this what you are?

Not just to their immediate family, but their neighbors as well. People are living next door to someone who has purposefully put themselves in a state where they cannot act responsibly or on sound judgment. No one wants to live next to any hard drug addict, and if visible, they would bring down the value of properties around them. They are addicted to a substance that has taken away their ability to choose to use it or not. They are a slave to that drug and will do anything and harm anyone for it.
