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 can't believe in this day and age we still have to struggle to be trusted as individuals to do the right thing. Stories like this cause me to visualize humanity as glorified cattle. As we evolve, we are afforded fewer and fewer independent choices. Humanity and compassion are being regulated away and instead of becoming enlightened and wise, we are becoming more robotic. It would be one thing if this has proven to be more effective, but it isn't even close. We must be allowed to make mistakes or we have nothing to grow from. I think America's Laws are too restricting, but we have quite a bit more say than what you've described. Thank you for the very informative and detailed information. I prefer learning about other cultures from the people who actually live there, rather than from a textbook.
I don't think in America people have more to say about certain aspects in life. CPS is as bad in the US (and sometimes worse) as a lot of other countries. In certain states the vaccination laws are not what I call having more say. The thing is, is that often times the governments of 'developed' countries offer the illusion of freedom, when nothing could be further from the truth. I'm from Holland, but lived in a few countries. I always heard that Holland was so 'liberal' and started laughing. Liberal yes, in the worst way sometimes, but free? No. Ireland is more free than the Netherlands, but only because here, even the politicians and authority officials are lazy...It's something everywhere. And you're right, it's crazy we have to struggle to be trusted to do the right thing and simply live our lives the way we choose. Division is manipulated. Thank you for reading and the feedback :)

Agreed and no matter where you are on this earth, if you get to experience true freedom, it's always very shortly lived. You are correct that CPS is flawed anywhere a similar program exists.
