RE: ecoTrain Question Of The Week: Lawful kidnapping by the State (Child Protection, Social Services) is a symptom of a modern day crisis. What are the issues that lay behind the increasing trend of State taking children away from their parents, and .......
I agree, it is essential people know and like their neighbours, feel part of a community, feel held within their community. Life is full of obstacles and its hard work. People do lose their way. If you lose your way, be it with anger, drugs or alcohol abuse, depression, mental health, etc, etc, it is so much easier to come back healthy and strong with neighbourly, community support. If the social services can see your child as part of a caring, larger network of people than just immediate family, surely there is more hope. Whats that quote about it takes a village to raise a child?
Well said, it does take a village to raise a child. Community is so important and something that is really missing in alot of peoples lives today. No one should have to suffer alone, this disconnection we have is a huge problem, and healing it is the solution.
