Mother Charged with Child Neglect, Could Lose Her Children for Having them Walk to SchoolBy Matt Agorist Palmer then got in her car and drove in front of her two daughters as they walked the 3-mile route to school. While some may think that having kids walk to school is a harsh punishment, it is far better than beating them. That being said, when Marion County sheriffs deputy Chris Ladd spotted the two girls walking behind their mothers car, he just had to stop it. In his report, Ladd said it appeared Palmer was driving ahead of her children and allowing them to catch up to her car until the kids reached the school. Sheriff Ronnie Bo Burnett said Palmer told deputies that her daughters were being punished for missing the bus. Of course, a police officer stopping to ask why two children are walking behind a car is rational. But, once Ladd realized what was going on, he should have simply gone about his business and moved on. However, thats not what happened. Instead of allowing this mother of two to continue to teach her children a lesson in a non-violent creative way, Ladd charged Palmer. Even though the children had made it over a mile already under her plan, Palmer was subsequently charged with child neglect. To justify his actions, Ladd stated in the report that Temperatures were cold, and traffic was beginning to become heavy with citizens heading to work. He went on to state that Mrs. Palmer was in no position to reach her children safely in the event of an emergency. The Tennessee Department of Childrens Services is now investigating the case and Lisa Marie Palmer and her husband Douglas Palmer could face the possibility of losing their children. Lisa Palmer is due in court on April 18 on charges of child neglect and driving without a license. Sadly, this incident is not an isolated one. The nanny state is out in full force. Last year, the Free Thought Project reported the story of two Maryland parents who were found responsible, by Child Protective Services (CPS), of unsubstantiated child neglect, for allowing their 10-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl to walk a mile home, from a local playground to the family residence.

Follow @MattAgorist Corruption has turned the system into a predatory extortion racket. Corruption? You mean the BAR They will do this to the wrong people eventually and youll have maybe 100 people that work for cps and the courts shot and killed over it. No innocent losses either mind you. I walked to and from skool every day, uphill both ways,it snowed every day, and yes! I had no shoes. You lived on my block! I remember walking with you! Ah yes, those thrilling days of yesteryear. When men were men,and all the women were glad of it. Yet still dont know how to spell school! yer right now a days it has two syllables, its skoo-al. In what state did this take place? Who These are the 5 basics of Journalism 101. High school version. ACTIVIST POST reporters need to go back to school if they cant organize the pertinent data of a news story. GET WITH THE PROGRAM or GET OUT. According to the article that you cant comprehend: Who: Victim was Lisa Marie Palmer Perhaps you need a class on basic reading? The word Tennessee occurs in the TENTH paragraph. Nobody is going to look that far, except you, when youre trying to prove someone you dont like wrong. well, i mean, I read the whole article before i made it to these comments, therefore I submit that those incapable of reading to the end of an article are in fact lazy readers. Thats not the way a news story is supposed to be written. Which was precisely my point. The vital data is all supposed to be found in the first 3 paragraphs. A lot of people read during commutes and dont have time to read an entire article. Thats not laziness, its time management. Its clear you know little or nothing about this, but it didnt keep you from pontificating about me. About it, I mean. Look up pyramidal structure. Go away troll! I understand real journalists are supposed to follow those style guidelines, but what can you expect from an amateur? I am not saying anyone in particular is lazy, I am just saying that laziness compels someone to read half an article and then blast off to the comments section. This is a valid complaint. In journalism 101, the first thing they emphasize is Make the first paragraph your story. Basically, the 5 Ws need to be answered in that first paragraph, because a good portion of people reading news stories dont have time to dig into page C2 in the back of the newspaper for the meat of the story. Unnecessary filler information goes after. Of course, in this case, most of the paragraphs are one sentence, so Im not sure where to go with that. Still, get the facts out first. The rest of the story can wait for those who care to read that far. Not a terribly tactful critique, but this is a fundamental tenet of journalism. Journalism? I think you mean propaganda where you put the narrative you wish to manipulate your audience into believing at the top, while the inconvenient facts which counter this position are hidden away in later paragraphs. No wonder so many people are clueless- read the fine print! My opinion If the girls were 12 or 13, three miles is still a long way (you really think they would have made it to school on time? Really?). If they were 6 or 7, give me a frickin break, bust that stupid mom. A citation, though, not an arrest or removal of the kids unless there is more to this than we have been told (i.e., shes fried on drugs). My opinion- go furk yourself. uh..have you ever had little kids? P.i.s.s off officer Ladd. Go and catch some criminals instead. Oh, I forgot, you dont have the b.a.l.l.s for that, do you? Thats my thinking! This is unbelievable. 3 miles is nothing for a healthy school age kid. Even pre-K I moved a lot more than that just playing around the neighborhood. The mother may have even been overprotective by driving alongside, depending on the kind of area. Today kids are too sheltered IMO. And the system seems to be demanding parents and schools protect kids from any independent action or thought. No wonder young adult college kids want safe areas, and censorship to protect them from anything offensive, read politically incorrect. People are becoming scared of their own shadows, and this is playing into the hands of the establishment. Hey allicelillie! Too true! And how will the system protect us when the system is the single greatest danger in our lives? Jason, the system will only change when true Americans stand up and demand a change. There are still enough true Americans who are willing to do that! We just need to vote into offices across the Country the true Americans. those who believe in the Constitution, and those who are willing to uphold it. We have to stop believing those candidates who lie to us and say what you want to hearif they have been in office for their first term, and they do not keep the word they promised while running for office, then vote them out and deny them a 2nd term!! If they have been in more than one term, it is time for the lying ones to be replaced. Vote them out of office!! It already is! We have more to fear from the police than the criminals! Jason the system is already the single greatest danger in our lives. And we just plain have to protect ourselves and one another. The system of government is not the problem. It is the secret servants of Satan who have infiltrated and taken over the system that is the problem. The problem arose in her making them walk in the street. That and not having a valid drivers license. There is something that our population has completely lost track of. Its called the law of natural consequences. Basically put, when you screw up, undesirable things happen to you. Teaching this to children is an absolute must that our country has lost track of. This mother was on the right track. Yep. She did the right thing, but in the wrong way. I hope the kids dont take what the system does to her as a victory. Because they all lost. Im sorry but idiotic safe places and censorship to protect from offensive language and behavior is unreal and just makes these kids afraid of their own shadow! If kids cannot handle seeing or hearing these outrageous people they will not be able to handle the real world, our world is full of it d until we put morality back into our lives and society we have o make sure our kids can handle these types of things. Now on the subject of the article. This was a good way to teach these children o be ready for the bus. They shouldnt rely on Mom or Dad to take them to school because they are to irresponsible to get to the bus on time. That cop had no business sticking his nose into someone elses business! What would make him think these kids and the woman in the car had any relationship in the first place? how old were the little girls? Three miles is a long walk for little kids! This is edgy, not sure what to think. But its definitely a police state and weve all heard about their discretion replacing our rights. Remember, to be in school, one must be at least 5 years old. Any 5 year old, should be able to walk that far.Im sure they go that far on weekends and summers when they are not in school! If not, they need to !! Get outside and get some exercise! Get off the computers and games! We lived 4 miles from the local school bus, always dropped off in mornings by car, but if not there in pm we had to walk with school bag and bread packages on Tuesdays and Fridays if car was not there. This often involved a 1 to 2 mile walk before we were picked up. This was from 1952 til 1956 when we got a horse and jinker which we used up until 1963. It never hurt us and developed a sense of responsibility. Has anyone started a petition to tell the government to grow the heck up and quit this nonsense ? You left out this part of the story Palmer didnt have a valid drivers license and couldnt be allowed to drive the girls on to school. When Palmers husband, Brandon Palmer, and his father, Douglas Palmer, arrived, officers asked for a valid drivers license from them, according to the report. Douglas Palmer refused and began to argue with officers, using what Ladd described in the report as obscene language with the children observing his every word and action, Ladd states. The man then accused Ladd of being the cop that beat me up last time, and then started to take off his seat belt and get out of the car. Ladd said Douglas Palmer then grabbed at his waist, where the officer said he saw a fixed-blade knife in a sheath. A struggle ensued and the elder Palmer was disarmed and handcuffed. During a pat-down search and a search of the vehicle the two men were driving, the officers reportedly found drug paraphernalia in Douglas Palmers pants pocket but no drugs. He ended up being booked on charges unrelated to the girls walking, officials said. Unless the mother, father, or grandfather are hauling commercial freight or commercial paying passengers, why should any have drivers licenses? funnywhen I was a kid, if that had gone on in MY little oregon town, i bet the citizens would have surrounded the jail and DEMANDED resignations all aroundALL cops involved, and the prosecutor..and there wouldnt be any separation pay either.how about it, tennessee, you got one SHRED of decency left in your STATE? its time to pick up the pitchforks and start MARCHING! They are flatout bonkers. I recomend parents to lett them walk, for the benefit of their own health, 2-4 km is normal over here, the buss line for free ride goes on 6 km one way. peace Does the PIG have any children? Let HIS children be questioned as to how he does things at home. HOME SCHOOLHOME SCHOOLHOME SCHOOL! Great idea for those who have the ability!! Unfortunately, not all parents are capable, or have the knowledge to do that! I totally get where you are coming from..because parents who work a lot to try and make ends meet and single parents need free childcare and school provides that. I was thinking that just like a neighborhood watch association..neighborhoods and communities could come together and create mini school houses and certain parents could volunteer their time in whatever area they excel in to teach certain subjects. Homework is actually unnecessary and does not improve ones cognitive ability.but creative play does. As for having the knowledge.it is so much easier then you may realize. The reason i say this is the curricula has already been created by parents. I know this because I sold home school products for awhile.and the cool thing is parents get to learn as well. It is not just for hyper religious people.there are soccer moms and hippie moms and everything in between that go to these conventions. I would invite you to go to one and just check it out. There are wonderful communities of people that will help. There will come a time and soonthat if parents dont start looking outside the box and coming together, they will have toxic vaccines being forced upon them, and the state will have ownership over your children.not you. And that is even worse. If you have children and would like some resources.let me know and I can point you in some great directions. What is commonly referred to as the government needs to F OFF! This nanny state bs is getting tiresome! This is so stupid, I walked a long ways to school a lot, in snow and heat. Sometimes for fun. This is rediculoius. You can get punished for a wonderful teaching lesson totally appropriate but no consequences for abortion/murder. We are so mixed up. Weather cold and traffic getting busy?? Then why is kid in short sleeves and no just a few cars shown on street other than those shown at the stop sign???? OMG ! child abuse !!! it called teaching your children a lesson be on time, dont doddle, the bus will not wait for you. Does this officer know what a crime looks like, cause this ant it.. get a clue, the women was doing nothing wrong,she was teaching her kids responsibility and what happens when you dont follow the rules.the cops way is the reason that todays kids are like slugs!! now if she was a crack head and let her kids run wild the frickin cop wouldnt say a thing. Really deputy? You a dam fool! Today kids think they run the household! They been spoiled to dam much, by parents who are so scare to correct them. Due to fact somebody keep telling them to call cop on them! If mine call cop they can take them and raised them. Maybe they will be better off! If I was judge I make deputy take them home as his. Then he could learn to think that nothing was wrong here. Mom was keeping eyes on them. Why are the kids late for school, again? That is the question that deserves an answer. The answer iswait for itthe parent. They are born a sponge and only learn from example. It is a parents job to lead by example. The parent needs to go to school and learn how to teach her kids not to be late. Children who cannot walk to school by themselves in this country is a crime against the people of this country.Our useless politicians cannot do anything right, PC is the ruin of life in America. Besides that, why isnt it safe enough to walk to school. Police are here to keep whomever is in charge in charge, nothing else. Please define For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge for those that do not comprehend. Demand a jury trial and they will change their tune. Never ever agree to a plea bargain unless you know you are guilty of a crime and will be found guilty. What this mother did is no crime and she was there to protect them from harm in a country made unsafe by the government and the police. I wonder who was being raped, robbed or beaten while this cop was wasting time on something that was none of his business. When I was in grade school, I had to walk a mile in the winter in sub zero weather to catch the bus! BIG DEAL! Everyday! This is asinine, I walked to school aprox 1.5miles in a Michigan suburb when we had heavy snow. I was 7-10yo and my bro and I did so without a parent supervising. I also on the weekends, sometimes, rode my bike to my cousins house 5 miles away alone, my uncle called when I got there. Our intrusion into Parenting for no GOOD reason is dangerous and is causing more damage than good. No wonder this country has turned into a nation of crybabies and pansies who are offended at the slightest thing while thinking nothing of attacking the same conservatives who are trying to save this country from being invaded by illegal Mexicans and murderous muslims. Now these same morons are calling it child abuse because a mother is making her kids walk to school. Unbelievable! Has the government in this country lost any shred of common sense whatsoever? It would certainly seem so. And her crime is what? Instilling values and responsibility in her children? Being a concerned and caring parent? How dare she! The only violation I see is the mother driving without a drivers license. The Constitution for the United States of America gives her the right to travel so the nation states cannot a license for it. Its sad to see people whore so illiterate about the Constitution. You need to read it sometime. However, if youre caught driving without a motor vehicle operators license and insurance and have an accident, you should go to prison. It is people like Roberto Enrique Benitez II that want to strip everyone else of the few rights that our corrupt government still allows. Its political demagogues like you whore a disgrace to rational discussions what with your canards, innuendos, prevarications, ad hominem attacks, and conspiracy theories. But Im willing to bet you that you cant and wont back up your libel with just one statement where I said that I want to strip everyone else of the few rights that our corrupt government still allows. Do you have the courage and integrity to take it up? I sincerely doubt youre enough of a Christian or patriot to do so. Roberto Enrique Benitez II, what libel? So youre too much of a caitiff to put money on backing up your accusations. What a true demagogic prevaricator you are. Tell us, are you a Dominionist? Roberto Enrique Benitez II, you are confused. Its too bad youre such a prevaricator. But it goes to show you massive confusion. It was you who attacked me. But show some courage, take up my bet. Also, have the courage to answer the question, are you a Dominionist? Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II, you already have the downfall of the U.S.A. so cannot push it down much more. We already have the lowest of the low a d-word and r-word government as you continue to push. We already rejected Creator granted rights with the promised Limited Constitution Republic. Take up my bet and prove your accusation or be branded as a caitiff and a prevaricator. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II, is still name calling. Still posting like a mentally deranged demagogue I see. Next youll claim I was responsible for the Bolshevik revolution, the rise of Hitler, and am an ardent supporter of the socialist Muslim Obama for a 3rd term with the traitor Hillary as VP. However, did you ever serve this country? Oh I forgot, you likely believe thatd be treason. You see, Im assuming youre a Dominionist from your irrational and inane comments since you havent the courage to answer the question. People here already know youre unable to discuss matters in a cogent manner. So get some professional help. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II, is still name calling, posting wild unbelievable speculation, and telling other people that they are the ones that need professional help. Where did you go to school, the USSR or Iran? Im not the one so confused that they helped to convert the U.S. from a promised Limited Constitutional Republic to a d-word and r-word government removing individual rights and openly robbing and killing people. Whats it with you that youre so afraid to answer questions? Do you not understand them? Anyways, back up your benighted slander. Was it because Im a citizen of the USA and not the USSR or ther CSA? No matter, you wont have either the intelligence or courage to do so. Youre too much the caitiff and demagogic troll. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II, is still name calling. Are you a Dominionist who prefers the Confederate States of America (CSA) rather than the United States of America (USA)? But why do I ask anything of you? Youve proven youre too cowardly and benighted to be able to answer. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II, is still name calling. Once again youve proven my point that youre unable to answer questions. Unlike a Limited Constitutional Republic, in a Roberto Enrique Benitez II d-word and r-word government, people are slaves to the government. You wont and cant answer because youre a slave to your cowardice, dishonesty, and ignorance. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II keeps demanding answer answer answer without posting a question worth reading. Simitcw, your hubris and aliteracy are showing. You make accusations and then refuse to answer or explain them. So You really cant answer can you? You feel Im confused since I was educated in America. So I asked you where you were educated. As you couldnt answer I must assume youre from another country or are uneducated. Your semi-illiteracy and dearth of knowledge about the Constitution and governance indicates that. In responding to Croco Dile, who posted a video on anarchy (the good form), I used a quote by Churchill; that while ALL forms of government are flawed, all were worse than democracy, of which therere several forms, one being a Republic under a Constitution, as ours used to be. But you became fixated on the words democrat and republican, although you couldnt even bring yourself to spell them out. Yet I never mentioned the political parties. Likely a lot of its due to your not knowing Churchill wasnt an American and wasnt discussing the American form of democracy, small d; a Republic under the rule of true Constitutional Law, a limited form of government. That showed your ignorance about forms of government. Your accusations showed youre aliterate. So I asked some questions which you seem unable to answer, so you resort to the puerile accusation I think youre my slave. Are you also paranoid? I mentioned the problems humans have faced, why God instituted government among us, what the Founders and Framers hoped to accomplish, and how weve messed it up. Yet it went over your head. Perhaps most of our disagreement centers around your misunderstanding of the Constitution and what federalism means. After all, you stated the US Constitution gave a person the right to drive anywhere without a STATE drivers license. You fail to understand the Constitution guarantees NEGATIVE RIGHTS not positive ones. Our Constitution DOESNT give us rights, rather, it sets up the form of government thats SUPPOSED to protect our God given rights by PREVENTING government from infringing on them. Ive even stated its failed to do so. As I said, it went over your head so to you thats seems like confusion. Its obvious youre confused as to what I wrote, or dishonest about it. You dont seem to know what the 10th Amendment says or means, or why the Framers included it in the Constitution. As the federal Constitution says absolutely nothing about driving, the 10th Amendment gives the States the authority to regulate it. In my implying so you claimed, people like you keep pushing the lowest of the low forms of government to try to destroy the world to speed up the one world order because that brings us closer to the thousand years of peace, you will fit much better in the New World Order than the thousand years of peace. You will not like the second coming at all. Also you wrote, You pushing a corrupt d-word and r-word governments against the people instead of a Limited Constitutional Republic headed by the Creator and rights granted by the Creator and your constant attacks are the opposite of the types of people that will live in the thousand years of peace. You seem to want a theocracy here and now. But thats what the Framers wanted to avoid. Thats why I asked if you were a Dominionist, a term you seem ignorant of. So I spoke the truth, youre a prevaricating caitiff; a slave to your sad demagogic benightedness. Yet even now I doubt youll have the integrity or courage to answer my questions even though I responded to your libelous accusations. I was even willing to bet you couldnt and wouldnt back up your libel with just one statement where I said I want to strip everyone else of the few rights that our corrupt government still allows. I sincerely doubted youre enough of a Christian or patriot to do so. Sadly I was right. Yet I believe youll just say this post is too long, confuses you, or somehow would make you a slave if you answered a question. I wonder if anyone will bother to try to read the diatribe from the confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II? It was meant for you to read, but youve proven my point. Youre incapable of holding a cogent discussion. My you have a Saul experience on your personal road to Damascus. If anyone wants to read name calling and insults written by someone as confused as Roberto Enrique Benitez II, then more power to them but leave me out. Child, youre so afraid you cant even address me directly. Why is that? Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II is still pushing d-word and r-word governments to make everyone a slave to the government. Sadly, youre still lying. Ive never advocated to you either the Democrat or Republican Parties or their stranglehold on our form of governance. But youre too dishonest and too benighted to understand. Youre also quite paranoid and need professional help. Asking you to answer my questions isnt a demand, its a request. But in you state of mental illness, you cant to comprehend that. So, what are youre demands? Are they that I not ask you answer questions but that I accept your prevarications? No chance my aliterate friend. Has confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II considered suing the U.S. schools that caused or added to his confusion? It wont correct the issue but if enough victims sue, it could slow the indoctrination of others. Well, it seems youd have no grounds to sue as you likely never went to school. Confused Roberto Enrique Benitez II is still attempting insults. Does not the government know what is best for us? If you dont believe it, just ask them! Is anarchy the solution? Perhaps in a perfect world with perfect people. But what I heard was a young man who hasnt thought out the consequences of his philosophy. Lets start with a very simple truth, humans are fallen and therefore sinful beings. Therefore theyre going to act out of pride, greed, and fear. For such reasons God instituted government among humans. So we band together to protect each other, i.e., we form governments. Then seeing how they can rapidly get out of control, we try to limit their authority through a social contract. So as Churchill said, Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. Such will be our fate until the Righteous One comes. No doubt some will object wanting to be their own god. Roberto, I dont care about your Christian nonsense about humans. Croc, learn what, that anarchy, even in its best form, will succeed? Learn how to be a knave and resort to puerile ad hominem attacks? No thank you. However, I hope you have a Saul experience on your personal road to Damascus. Roberto, who was born by a mortal virgin mother and had a divine Father, and was known as the Saviour of the world? Before he was born his parents wandered to a bigger town, and prophets had foretold his birth and that he would be a king. This instigated a search for the infant Saviour by a leading figure who wanted to kill him. After growing up the Son of God was shown all the kingdoms of the world from a high mountain. He also walked on water and when he met his end his mother and his favorite disciple stood by him. He then tells his mother : Do not cry, Im going to heaven. When he dies he utter : It is finished and the earth trembles and darkness cover the land. Then he ascended to heaven, and his greatest achievement was to conquer death. His name was of course Hercules. And your point? Is it that it justifies anarchy or being a knave? Again, I hope you meet the real Messiah, Jesus Christ. Roberto, who was the Son of the highest God, and the biggest healer in Antiquity? He healed the sick and even raised the dead. Hear and behold: former paralysed walked again, the blind could miraculously see again, and the deaf could listen and the mute speak after the Masters gentle touch! But he did not only heal the body, he also healed the soul. They called him Saviour and Redeemer, and he healed both rich and poor, men and women, young and old, slaves and free men, friends and enemies. In one occasion a paralysed man was brough to him in his bed, and took his bed and left walking after the Saviour had touched him. What was this Saviours name? Asklepios. Again, whats your point? Is it that you believe that Jesus Christ is a fiction? Is it that youre an atheist? I believe you believe both. I also believe your screeds dont alleviate your confusion about learning. And llke it or not, I believe that Jesus was and is the Messiah. Or you can continue to believe in anarchy and being a knave. So Ill continue to urge you to meet the real Messiah, Jesus Christ. Roberto, who was the real Son of God, born by a mortal virgin mother, and often presented as the venerated newborn infant, or depicted riding a donkey? He healed the sick and did numerous wonders, among those making fine wine from plain water. He was killed but resurrected from the dead and became immortal. The followers of this God often ate a holy meal in a kind of sacramental union with the deity to achieve immortality after their death. One of this gods finest achievements was his death, his sacrifice, which delivers the whole human kind. The God was the very popular Dionysos. Still trying to justify anarchy with your nonsense I see. Or is it you just hate Christianity and Christians? Look, Roberto. You are the one writing nonsense here. I did not write a word about anarchy yet. And I will not because you can learn all about it yourself. You can read, obviously.. There is no reason for me to hate your religion. I just dont buy that nonsense you believe in. But its too much for you to comprehend. Thats why you are showing so much resistance to the information Im giving you. Then just continue your ignorant life ! Who is the Light of the World, the One, the God who defeated death? Born of a virgin mother, considered the first true King by the people. Who rose from the grave and ascended to heaven. He defeated death, and must be considered the single true God. Of course the Egyptian Osiris! Good try but no cigar Nimrod. Learn something useful, Robertino. Ah, now the ethnic bigot is coming out in you.

Jared Taytor We and Trump dont want to see white peoples submerged. Brad Griffin Roberto Enrique Benitez II, you must be U.S. educated so are confused. Yes, I was educated in the United States, but in State elementary and high schools and in private Christian colleges and universities, not in a federal school, even though I did apply to the Air Force Academy and almost got into the Naval Academy. Whats your problem with that? What country were you educated in? What is your level of education. Do you oppose formal higher education? The best type government wont exist until God rules with Jesus on the throne. But in the meantime God gave us a path to live as outlined in the Bible. I assume youve read the Bible. That includes understanding that government was instituted among man by God. It also means understanding that government was never given carte blanche by God and violating that admonition is sinful and rebellious. As I wrote, we form compacts for protection and to put limits on governments we form to protect us. What standards and guidelines did the Founders and Framers use; THE BIBLE, along with the philosophies of men like Adam Smith, John Locke, Hobbes, Burke, and Montesquieu. So they wrote the Articles of Confederation which proved far too weak. Then they wrote the Constitution, which was meant to severely limit the federal, or should I say now CENTRAL, government. Jefferson had a few words as to how to correct that. Yet sadly weve ignored the Founders and Framers and have allowed politicians, most of them pettifoggers, to almost destroy the Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights. Can you claim any of the first 10 Amendment are intact save one so far? I doubt you even know the one Im referring to. Weve allowed Stare Decisis and Case Law to overrule the clear intent of the Constitution. Do you even know what those concepts mean? As an AMERICAN educated Christian with courses in US history, economics, and political science, I believe we need to restore the rule of REAL Constitutional Law, not what now passes for it. As a prominent legal scholar said, modern constitutional law has little or nothing to do with the Constitution. Nor does it have much if anything to do with F, DR, W, NU, D, R, or I words; words which in a political context you dont seem to understand. Do you understand that we live in a fascist-socialist very, perhaps extremely, limited republic, small r, fast approaching a fascist-socialist tyranny? Do you understand what fascism is other than imagining its Hitlers Germany? So dont tell me Im confused when you dont understand what I wrote or know what youre talking about in response to my comment. You dont seem to even know that the PROMISED ONE that I wrote of IS the CREATOR. Are you like Croco who rejects the Gospel and Jesus Christ? I hope Im wrong about that. Roberto Enrique Benitez II, you are U.S. educated so are confused. I doubt you fathom what I wrote or what it meant in either of my comments due to a paucity of eruditeness. Likely youre quite aliterate. When Churchill wrote the quote I referenced the US was a different place, although under FDR it was going down the wrong road. Nevertheless, the quote was valid as to the sad state of governance AROUND the world and THROUGHOUT history. But your limited perspective impedes your comprehension. It seems you dont even comprehend what fascism is or why I mentioned it. So its you whos quite confused. Youre also a caitiff. You cant, or wont, even answer simple questions in light of your puerile and benighted animus with education in America. So I suggest you grow some cajones and become a mensch. This deputy should be sited for meddleing into personal lives! After finding out why the children were walking, he should have gone on his way. Im sure the mother would not put the children in danger! Now he is about to put the children in danger by taking them away from their parents. Many of us walked to school when there was no bus service and it didnt hurt any of us! And there are many children who still walk to school now and they are OK! This is a perfect example of the wrong man having police authority! That police officer should have been fired on the spot. It is the responsibility and duty of every parent to teach their children individual responsibility. This is just one of many illegal and foolish government actions that only helps to destroy our country by indoctrinating our children with the idea that government is the only answer. Children need to be taught that they, and only they, are responsible for their own actions. It sounds to me like this was a very mild educational punishment. Walking to school is a very healthy task that does no damage to anyone. As a person who daily walked one and one half miles each day to school, starting when I was in kindergarten, and, after transferring to high school, I walked three and one half miles to school for the remaining four years. It did not damage me in any way whatsoever, and I was never late for class. This government involvement is total foolishness. The greatest threat to this country and freedom is morns like this. This looks like one of those cops that got a job where he has some authority and he is going to make sure everyone knows it. Ladd knows it is a lot safer to go after this mother than confront a drug dealer. Good job Ladd the people need more of this kind of bullshit. Unless investigating a crime of property or against a person, the D.C. have no authority to stop people or otherwise interfere in their lives. This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!! My sisters and I regularly walked at least that far to school on an everyday basis. We were definitely NOT neglected or abused by our Mother.. We also did not have air-conditioned classrooms, and we went to school in Tampa, FL. The only part of the school that was air-conditioned was the office. But to have a parent arrested for neglect for making their children walk to school? OMG, GROW UP!!! Quality medical marijuana strains , cannabis oil and hash for sale .
