I do not think parents should get second chances to abuse their children when the abuse is severe....when people abuse their pets, their pets are simply taken away from them...what say you?

None! No Second Chances!

Right you are Jane! I wrote an article about this. The SPCA has it right; they fully understand this and would never return abused animals to their abusive homes. They go one step further and ban abusers from owning and/or having animals in their possession in most cases.

This is never happen going to happen with humans.

Here are a few reasons Why?

• We have Attorneys who line up to take on Criminals who commit Crimes against children and/or murder children…Especially if it is a ‘high profile’ case.

• We have the ACLU who will protect the rights of those who abuse children, those who have ‘exclusive’ clubs which are in existence only to share ‘new’ ideas on subjects such as luring tactics for the purpose of child molestation and all other information pedophiles can use for their own sick needs, and they will always protect the reproductive rights of abusive mothers to continue to have children to abuse.

• We have a court system that is severely flawed, that doesn’t grasp the impact abuse has on a child the rest of his/her life, nor does it seem to care!

• We have a NON Child Protection service that blows off charges of abuse, Playing God at the expense of the Child being abused.

• Child Abuse is a Crime yet not in most cases not treated as though it were!

Our system is broken. Everybody in the field knows it’s broken, yet they all have the ‘it’s the best we got’ attitude.

In order to make changes to our 'broken system', our Law makers need to CARE about these issues. We are a spoiled Nation, and tend to be more selfish than not.

Adults who make the Laws and who move around with their ‘Freedoms’ are not going to stop being self serving. Putting children, their needs, their wants, their safety, their lives at the top of the list will take a lot of energy not to mention it is not one of the 'popular' issues.

It is all just more of the same. Adults are far more protected under the law than that of our most precious, innocent and vulnerable beings!

Absolutely no second chance!There is too much emphasize placed on parental rights in this country when it should be the child's well being,not the abusive parents!
