Do nothing and let the child die?

WTF? the child DID NOT have a life threating head wound.

My point is, if you thought the child's life was in danger what would you do?

Let the parents deal with it? Why must nanny staters like you insist that government hover over every living being ready to pounce?

If the family has case workers coming in for weekly visits it makes me wonder if they maybe thought the parents were just going to neglect the kid and blow it off as just a bruise.

Scary words nobody wants to hear, "Hello, we're from the government and we're here to help you."

I also wonder if maybe the reason the case worker is coming so often is because of physical abuse and the case worker needed a doctor to examine and document the injury in order to build a case for removal.

Wonder how much foot removal is going to be necessary in this thread if it is updated with something along the lines of "Turns out father has a history of pinging beer bottles off of son's head; case worker just doing their job". ?

Has to be a lot more to the story. Why are social workers going there in the first place? DFCS workers must have thought there was something potentially dangerous with the parents and were not able to do thier job, usually they would just take the child right on the spot to the hospital, I find it strange that they would leave the child there when they thought there might be a life threatening injury. This whole story sounds strange.

No no we must fly off the handle without thinking or waiting for more details to come out. Being a emotional knee jerk reactionary is easier then trying to depend on facts or just plain waiting on more details to come out. It's better to just get all crazy, scream, shout and look for scapegoats to justify our egos and our false sense of emotional outrage.

Nosy neighbors called them in. SOP for trailer parks, minding other people's business.

edit; Oh yes! Drift3r. Exercising their scapegoats, hobby horses, nightmares, and paranoid delusions. Post them to any topic like they were worthy of winning a red ribbon. Oh the hubris!

Ah yes, there's that leftist disdain for the common man.

Ah yes, there's that libertarian disdain for common humanity. Help people? Not on my watch!

:roll:

This is why I hate modern liberals. They're going to "help" people whether those people want it or not.

Well hey, I don't give a crap if you don't want help, I won't bother helping you if you don't want it. So there goes your weak justification for hatred of the "evul liburlz".

Do you people not understand that this "forced health-care raid" wasn't the creation of some nutty liberal team, but rather, a mixture of overbearing pricks from every part of the political spectrum? Get over yourselves, jesus fucking christ.

Great, you can start by not helping yourself to so much of my paycheck.

GOD! You protest so much! I wonder how much you cheat on your taxes?

It's possible this was just a midunderstanding and overblown. We may have a kid who bumped his head and not severely (initial prescription for service doesn't sound like it was a big deal) and info fell through the cracks to the point they felt the kid was seriously in risk of major harm, so he was taken, in the same way if a parent had a kid with his guts hanging out and said he'd deal with it, we'd expect somebody to step in.

I am against what i've heard about socialized medicine for this country, but using this as an example of what will happen in the future is overboard. As pointed out, Canada hardly has teams of SWAT compelling people against their will to treatment.

They got Mounties in red coats, just so the blood won't show when they force severely injured Kanuks to get treatment. Like that would happen!

You think that paying half of one's income as tax isn't too much? There's something wrong with you.
