In all of the years working in BH, I have heard every single possible reason for removal that you can think of

I’ve seen kids removed because of the obvious stuff, like physical/sexual abuse

I’ve seen kids removed because of extreme emotional abuse (usually when coupled with neglect, it’s extremely rare for removal for just emotional abuse, meaning a parent can shit talk their kid for a long time before consequences happen)

I’ve seen kids removed because they were beating the living shit out of their own parents and almost killing them. The kids weren’t beaten, but they were not taught not to hit, and that just got more and more out of control the older they get

I have never once heard of a kid being removed because their parent was a raging racist. Or had some other fucked up worldview. I’ve seen parents with mental illnesses who tell their kid things as crazy as lizard people controlling the government, never seen a kid removed because of that

If you think that it’s a little fucked up, that you are allowed to teach your kid to be a raging racist, or to believe that lizard people control our gov’t, then you should also think it’s fucked up the myriad of other ways a parent can fuck a kid up legally without grounds for removal

Yet NO ONE, has the balls to go after the parents. Even in my job, lots of clinicians cower away from an angry parent who doesn’t want to hear what they are doing wrong

People need to grow some balls and go after the parents. If not legally, then some other way to get the message across

The fantastic 1981 song "Under Pressure" by Queen (and Bowie) is about living in a world where random, daily, and pointless cruelty -- people on streets, ie, just the life of the dregs -- is simply how it is. So many screaming, let me out!

The song reflects on the fact we seem to be stuck, trapped, inside this apathy toward cruelty, even as it becomes more and more pervasive. The modern opiate epidemic would get a chuckle or two from Freddie on that point. Capital idea! Just turn every hill and valley into a 2-out-of-3 will try by age 15 demo! Etc. People on streets. And out in the sticks. Be do do. Dregs for harvest. Do de do do dum.

As trapped, we are akin to the Starship Enterprise in the S3;Ep09 "The Tholian Web." Journeying into a region controlled by a strange, crystalline-like people, the Tholians, the Enterprise is ordered to leave before the web is total, or stay trapped forever!

Are we not trapped? Under pressure as we grow cold to the ever present cruelty we let pass among us? We cannot continue this path. We cannot turn away. We cannot sit on a fence. For this is ourselves.

Under (Tholian) Pressure.

Western prosperity is the product of secularism and acting like the Taliban has never ended well for anyone

Religious animus was covered in the prior ruling.
