NJ court ends father's parental rights because mother poses risk
Submitted by anthony on Mon, 2007-02-19 13:11
Story here. Excerpt:
"The state Supreme Court today terminated a father's parental rights, ruling that he's unable to provide a safe home for his 4-year-old special needs son, largely because the presence of the alcoholic and mentally retarded mother poses a serious risk to the boy.
Experts found that the mother had the intellect of a child, periodically ran away from home for "alcoholic binges,'' and made repeated false charges of domestic abuse.
Although we are mindful of the mother's limitations, it is the father who established the dangerous situation at home, who maintains those conditions, and who is unable or unwilling to substantially alter those conditions,'' Zazzali wrote.

Mother has a problem? Punish the husband, of course.
It's not as if this kind of misandric, anti-family meddling is any surprise, especially from the manhaters in New Jersey. Isn't that the same state which arrested a man because his nutcase wife drove herself off a cliff?
As I said when a similar issue came up last month, why don't we just put all the kids into a pile and then hand them out to the people who can provide for the "best interests of the child" in descending order of ability, paying no attention to the actual parents? Oh, that's right, we don't do that because it would be a totalitarian, invasive affront to human dignity and a violation of both the child's basic human right to "know" its own parents (the UN's words, not mine), and the rights of the natural parents to raise their own children. This kind of case really is tragic, but I suppose they'd be after me already if it were my family. If I had kids, they'd be with me, no matter what some asshole in a robe had to say about it, and I'd defend my right to parent my own children with my life.
But that's just me. I think General John Stark said it best on July 31, 1809, and that the great state of New Hampshire has it right:
Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.
Just disgusting.
If I go into it anymore than that, I'm not going to be able to relax tonight.
