Be Fn Fr, there is no way the state takes parental rights away from everyone completely, that just doesn’t seem right. That’s not what I said. The school gets them for 8 hours a day. Use that time to teach them the shit they need and send them home. If the parents aren’t doing their side of it put the kid in special Ed or counseling or whatever to make up that shortfall. There’s enough flexibility in school schedules to spend more time on that if necessary. The only time parents should fully lose their rights is if there’s abuse going on. How do you propose we force the parents to do anything, specially considering in a lot of cases the problem is that they simply do not have the resources?

Apologies then I misinterpreted your reply. Honestly as far as forcing parents, we have to do the hard thing, take it by a case by case basis, force the required classes and practices, then monitor those that are suspect based on how they handled those classes and trainings and whatnot. By monitoring I mean drop by visits, interviews with the family and those community members that interact with the children, as well as social services visits to discuss services and programs. And on the flip side, we increase corruption and bias reviews on the schools, police, social services to ensure fairness and equality, because we need protectios from them as well. We would also want to have a more straightforward and streamlined appeals process for unfavorable judgements in these instances as well, to ensure the kids aren’t separated from family or removed from the abusive families as soon as possible.
