I will also add that some Indian kids' behavior is absolutely atrocious.  Yes, some American kids also behave terribly, but Indians are by no mean, perfect.  I am often horrified by how some of my nieces and nephews behave in public, and at home.  Their parents seem to not care about discipline at all.  And, especially with regards to sons - they seem to deserve some special treatment where they can get away with all sorts of bad behavior.  Bedtime at my SILs house is always a nightmare for her.  And, the kids are allowed to be disrespectful without consequence.  Again, this is not ALL Indian kids - I for one, am trying my best not to raise my kids this way - but, there is a different approach to parenting.

And this justifies taking infant/toddler kids away from their parents?[/quote]

No, of course not.  But, I could possibly see where there's a situation if the kid is extremely misbehaving in the classroom - acting out by hitting/biting other kids that it would raise some concern.  Just something to think about.  If it's not normally accepted for kids to behave that way, then seeing a kid acting obnoxiously would certainly raise red flags.[/quote]

Well, if it does not justify taking the children from their parents, what is your point? You do realize as well that there is a five month child involved and this child would not have any of the issues you mention. If the older child was misbehaving how does it help to exclude the parents from his life? The evidence, as it exists, does not suggest these extremes. The older kid could be on the autism spectrum...removing him from his parents is the worst outcome. The only way such a move could be justified is if there was clear evidence of physical or sexual abuse. In all other situations, the removal of very little children is unjustified, no matter how inappropriate you think Indian parenting can be.[/quote]
