I cannot believe they let this woman keep her baby. Not that she is a bad person because drugs dont automatically make someone a bad person but the fact she doesnt have to suffer any consequences pisses me off. Taking the child wont teach her a lesson but I sure hope it would scare her into not using. However this doesnt always work my boyfriend's step-sister has gotten ker kids taken away twice and she says "this time its different I will change for good". Even though the kids go to the grandmother the back and forth and knowing that it might happen again has traumatized them severely. I think the kids are 10, 7 and 4. So sad.



That sort of stuff doesn't happen up here. The welfare of the child supercedes the parental rights in an instant. I have seen cases where children have been returned to parents after being placed in foster care, but those parents have completed rigorous conselling and assessments and have remained clean for long periods of time. (Years, really.)

Sure, sometimes things fall through the cracks, stuff doesn't get caught in time, but when the system is in motion, it really is working to benefit the child.

It's a shame really. With that much less emotional damage to go around, it has to be affecting Ontario's stripper population. Where will our next generation of lapdancers come from? It's just one more thing we'll have to import...
