[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something tells me the PPs who feel badly that the kids are not with the (negligent) parents right now wouldn't feel remotely the same about returning two young toddlers to the care of similarly negligent parents if they were poor and/or non-white and/or obvious substance abusers. But those kids also love and miss their parents, and also have routines that are comforting.

[b]You feel badly for these kids because they look like yours, or like your kids' preschool classmates. Same goes for the parents. They have an upscale home in a nice neighborhood. So you give them the benefit of the doubt: their crime becomes one of stupidity rather than cruelty. Whereas you've probably never thought twice about the fact that the little kids of meth heads and crack whores also cry from their parents when CPS intervenes.[/b]

I'm glad to see CPS taking a tough stance. Just because you live in a million dollar condo and drive a Volvo doesn't mean you're not a danger to your children. [/quote]

This. Bc these parents have jobs like yours, homes like yours and their kids go to your preschool as a PP said, they couldn't possibly have meant to harm their kids -- and you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. A benefit that I'm sure most on here do not give to lower income families or black families or unemployed people.[/quote]

Yes, everyone here is racist; thanks for making such a totally baseless assumption. You are the one true and righteous DCUMer![/quote]
