It is interesting, Miss Wabbit. There was another case recently of a "First Nations" child (those whom we used to refer to as Indians) who had his hair cut off, against his will, by a teacher's aide. He was growing it long so that he could participate in a traditional tribal dance. His mother complained, and the school board and the provincial police claimed to have investigated the incident, but nothing further happened. After CBC began to report the story, things picked up, and earlier today, i heard that the teacher's aide had be reprimanded.
This woman sounds pretty damned stupid to me, but the teacher has no business taking such an action, and i think CFS has no justification for taking her children away from her.
And yes, i agree, there is probably more going on than we know of.
But the basic left wing agenda is to remove all kids from parental influence.
There are two sides to the argument. All these stories about what "some" parents do, and we have here a big story about that this very day, the 2 year old was beaten to death, are a push towards that agenda.
All of us who had good parents are being faced with the price some kids have to pay to continue with the present arrangements.
It is a very difficult conundrum.
Who the hell puts their child's full name on a birthday cake? The Campbells obviously like using their children's names to goad the community.

Got to find a medium between the left wing agenda and right wing torture methods.
I must confess I had a bout of the giggles when I thought about the famous (because, let's face it, haven't we all written one at least once in our lives?) 'What I want to be when I grow up' essay in grade school.
Signed by Adolf Hitler... Hmm...
Wonder what that would read.
Chances are good that this kid will grow up in a culture where nobody reacts strongly in a negative manner to the name though...
i have to say this much, im like just now a teenager, and i think thats still a bad name, still, you cant blame the kid, i say blame his parents, they shouldnt have named him that, and there is something wrong with saying black power, its just not right, like saying white power isnt. basically, i think people should stop saying both, and really, if parents stopped influencing their children so much, then there would be a lot less rascist people
this reminds me what my cousin told me of her friend:
my cousin has a white girl friend whom dates a black boy, and she really likes him, her parents dont mind, but her grandparents do, and she cant have him over when they visit, which is a lot
im kinda surprised about this, because where i live, EVERYONE is so friendly, but i know this occurs, ill just continue to try to make the world a better place, one slap at a time (violence isnt the answer, yet it gets people to shut up long enough to listen, hehe)
you are wise for your years JLS. DOnt lose that outlook.
hehe, thanks...i guess that happens when you get so close to your parents and just listen to them, and think over it...when you just eavesdrop, and tell it, its worse than wasting the knowledge, its giving it away so someone else can benefit from it whilst you dont, not saying that you shouldnt give away knowledge, im just saying you should absorb it
I heard about this ages ago but forgot to post it to this thread:
[url]http://a.abcnews.com/m/screen?id=5439648&pid=null[/url] wrote:"A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.
Just ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He had her renamed.
Judge Rob Murfitt made the 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, he said in a ruling made public Thursday. The girl was involved in a custody battle, he said.
The new name was not made public to protect the girl's privacy.
"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."
The girl had been so embarrassed at the name that she had never told her closest friends what it was. She told people to call her "K" instead, the girl's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.
In his ruling, Murfitt cited a list of the unfortunate names.
Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.
New Zealand law does not allow names that would cause offense to a reasonable person, among other conditions, said Brian Clarke, the registrar general of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Clarke said officials usually talked to parents who proposed unusual names to convince them about the potential for embarrassment."
Quote:If you still believe making bad choices suffices for terminating custody, think of the fate of poor Adolf Hitler Campbell, who at the age of 3 made national headlines last January when he and his sisters—JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell—were removed by the police from their New Jersey home shortly after a local bakery refused to frost young Adolf's name onto his birthday cake. The state claimed at the time that the children's names were not the cause of their removal, but nine months later the Campbell children are still not living with their parents. Because the records remain sealed, and the lawyers are under a gag order, we don't know quite why the Campbell children were removed from their home or when their parents will get them back. Calling your child Adolf Hitler is insane. But if it's also child abuse, let's hear it from a judge.

Exactly,,the legal process must be transparent, and the citizens have the right to take their knowledge of what the legal system is doing to individuals ans demand reform. We Americans tend to get all worked up when individuals abuse other individuals, but let the system abuse individuals and we all avert our eyes. Aren't we so civilized??!!
you trying to start an international incident over some shitty molded confection in the shape of a chicken pupa? Peeps can be mde in to a neat chicken bomb. You rub the peep with (BLANK)chlorate, then take a piece of steelwool and .... anything further and Im guilty of corrupting a minor.
Ya know...the registrar here DOES ban some names outright...we saw a list the other day.
Some that get through ought to be seen as grounds for immediate removal though.
I can't give examples because they are all too real, and I know them from work!
Some dog breed names oughta be banned. These conjoined breed names like "LAbradoodle" needas to be stopped. The other day I saw what I consider the ultimate disgrace to doggiedom
