Alright the religious right is not making a televised drama out of this like the Shiavo case--and therfore this does not have the over the top drama found in Florida but is the principle not the same.
The girl doesn't want treatment and her family agreed.
So CPS has made her mother into a criminal
TAKEN her other children and even misused the Amber Alert to treat her like a dangerous felon all because the State has decided it can do as it pleases and interfere in a family matter and a family's choice.
Does Child Protective Services have too much power to tear apart families because of the ethical or moral differences of outsiders vs. choices made by the parents?
Should the State ever be allowed to override decisions about childrens upbringing and decisions made by the family?
What would be the best way to set limits as to when any interference--if any-- should be allowed by legal/law enforcement entities in family matters or should there be a complete restriction on such interference?
Is this really any different from the Shiavo case?
