[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As noted above, the way the parents have revelled in the media attention without any evident concern for how all that attention might affect the kids demonstrates they are unfit parents.   [/quote]

Lots of parents do things I wouldn't do. That doesn't make them unfit parents.

These parents are sticking to their principles, and there is a lot to admire about that.[/quote]
Sticking to your principles is saying, 'hey we think this law is antiquated and ineffective, I'm going to lobby to change the law. In the meantime, I'm going to obey the law as it is, and find another way to foster independence and maturity in my kids. The emotional and finacial cost of legal wrangling and public/media exposure is not worth it to my family if no one is being harmed or abused." These people are not fighting to give their dying children to receive experimental treatment or medicine, they are not fighting to overturn an illegal adoption. They are not fighting to establish Amber Alerts. These people are making a big deal out of their kids not being able to walk down GA by themselves. [b]There is more than one way to skin a cat[/b], but these folks are using very little judgement. [/quote]

Exactly, and there is more than one way to stick to your principles.

As it happens, I think that they've been extremely effective in publicizing the issue.[/quote]
