What should happen in the case of the parent who locks their son up in a room with no food for 2 years? Who should step in when parents feed their kids nothing but cheetos and mountain dew? Who should step in when parents who are gang members raise their kids to be future gang members? Who should step in when parents who are high on drugs repeatedly rape then strangle their 12-year-old daughter?

Someone has to take responsibility when the parents won't.

I believe that it is already against the law.

No one. Nunya business.

No one, unless they are breaking the already existing laws.

I believe that was already against the law.

So you conflate feeding your child Mountain Dew with raping them.

Why not just cut to the chase and make Mountain Dew and illegal substance. That way we don't have to hurt our brains deciding the difference between rape and Mountain Dew?

Not allowing children to have access to proper food should be someone's business. If the parent isn't taking responsibility for their children, someone needs to.

I have a question.

What do we do with partners who give their kids marijuana for their parkinsons?

The state.

SO you are for every state and federal law.

Adults can make the (stupid) decision to drink all the Mountain Dew they want. Children aren't old enough to make that decision yet.

Have you heard about the Appalachian infants who are fed Mountain Dew from a bottle instead of milk? Have you heard of the horrible teeth problems they have as young adults as a result (not to mention all the other health problems)? Those babies didn't have a choice - they had to drink what their parents gave them. Bad nutrition affects not only the body, it affects the mind. Children have trouble learning when they don't have proper nutrition. When they have trouble learning, they have trouble getting jobs, which hurts our economy. So yes, we are all affected by bad parenting.

What's "proper food" ? How much cheetos doss it take before you get from "a fun snak" to "not proper food".

Where are these amounts specified in law so that I and other parents know when we are crossing the line?

Sometimes the state has to step in when people do bad things.

So you (the state) know how to raise a child better than the parents?

What are the states qualifications?

What is their track record?

Isn't California one of the worst states for foster care?

I wouldn't be affected by that bad parenting. For ever child who can't get a job because they where feed to much Mountain Dew as a child is one more opportunity for my child to get a job.

So if a state like Utah says it is bad for a child NOT to go to church, then a state can force a child to attend church against the parents wishes.

Well, hopefully part of this proposed bill will include some guidelines for those more ignorant parents who don't know about proper nutrition and feed their child nothing but cheetos all day every day.

Someone has to know better than the parent who locks their kid up in a room with no food for two years, or who has no clue about feeding their child, or who raises their child to be a future gang member.

Who is that someone? You tell me.

Ironically my seven year old just asked me if she could have her May birthday at the "American Girl Doll" store in NYC.

I had to tell her no because that's bad patenting to take a child to a over priced doll store.

Are you saying that there are no laws that already exist that address these issues?

But that's not the case is it. We are not talking about religion. We are talking about basic rights to food, shelter, education, healthcare.

But laws are bad, according to you. You say that no one should EVER step in and take over when a parent does bad things to their kid, because it's nobody's business what the parent does.
