However don't say our kids walking to school are not threatened from a potential attack from radical Islamic terrorists. The terrorists know no bounds and we have all seen that. Our kids are just another target for terrorism. I am not being paranoid. Just addressing your position that our kids are not threatened by terrorists. I hope to God it never happens. But don't say never. Did you ever think the twin towers would not be there today? I believe there were 8 or 9 children killed in the twin towers attack the youngest being 2 1/2. I believe he was on one of the planes. Our world is not safe be it from home grow predators or international terrorists it is the most dangerous time this planet as a whole and the U.S. in particular has ever faced. Honestly I have no idea how you can dispute it. To do so is shunning reality. Sad but true.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Try not to be scared. There are far better targets than YOU.

Or during the cold war 1960s/70s when Russia had 40,000 nukes and in school we were taught to "duck and roll"? By the way, today Russia's nuclear arsenal is down significantly to about 5,000. Sure, there is a threat nowadays of a few "rogue" smaller nukes, but can it compare to 40,000 massive hydrogen bombs in the hands of 1960s Russia? On a positive note these days, thanks to diplomatic negotiations, as of June 2014, all of Syria's chemical weapons have been removed. And the U.S. is no longer involved in a hot war in Iraq. And Bin Laden is dead. Of course, there are always frictions in the world, but it's not a given that this is the most dangerous time this planet as a whole or the US in particular has ever faced. As far as a decline in morals, haven't people been saying that for, well... forever?? Actually, we no longer drown witches, we no longer have the institution of slavery, women can vote and hold high public office, interracial marriage is no longer against the law in this country, and we are granting equal rights to gays. I'd say morality is slowly improving - not declining. Ron

As for State involvement, without getting into a whole political discussion, a rough guide to my feeling about it is that I believe govt has a role in leveling the playing field and keeping the powerful from imposing their will on the less powerful; but should have very little role in telling people how to lead their personal lives otherwise.

Still, no one is dealing with the fact that these people have basically been convicted of commiting no crime.

They probably could of ruled the case out, but no the parents refused to say they wouldn’t leave the kids alone until after the investigation.
The police officer had to threaten them to get them to sign. There was plenty of evidence to put these parents on warning. Any parent that thinks it is ok for a SIX year old to walk a MILE along a busy road without an adult with them should be watched closely. Tom

Without being partisan, I suspect everyone here agrees that it is wise and reasonable to have child protection laws and that child neglect should be a crime.
The issue here is whether this incident is a case of child neglect. I have no idea how anyone could conceive of this as a left/right issue.

Anyone that works with kids, or a professional such as a Policeman, Doctor, etc, are required and protected by law to report what
they think might be child abuse or neglect. The authorities must then check it out. That’s the law. A parent that doesn’t cooperate with the investigation becomes a suspect of neglect/abuse and will be put on watch. What’s wrong with that? If on the other hand the child seems to be in good hands with the parent then the case is closed. Sure there will be times where the system doesn’t work. But YOUR rights as a parent mean nothing when it comes to saving a child’s life. Children are abused everyday and we need laws to protect them. Yes it is neglect when you allow a SIX year old to walk a MILE along a busy road without an adult. Tom

I would say NYCTwister is more libertarian than liberal.
