FAMILY APPROACH OFTEN WRONG

Recently you had an article about DHR social workers getting bulletproof
vests. Then you had an article about help for inmates who are released from
jail. I agree with both articles, but we need to do something about the
judges and DHR representatives who insist in keeping children in homes
where the parents are drug addicts and alcoholics as well as criminals who
are caught lying on the witness stand.

The judge may require regular drug testing, but the state testing is very
inadequate. The direct product of these homes is producing illegitimate
children who end up in prison themselves. We need to totally reform our
welfare system, and the rule of keeping the family together is completely
wrong. If we start with the babies and help them to have a loving, caring
home with discipline and honesty, maybe we would not have the problems we have.

We also need to be spending more money on education instead of
entertainment. The state is spending money left and right on stupid
lawsuits. We need to stop this and throw these stupid lawsuits out of court
and disbar any law firm that starts one.
