I just received an email from Montana Newslink that announced that there are "Grants Available for Projects to Prevent Child Abuse, Neglect ."
What I really found interesting is that the board for this fund "is especially interested in plans that" among other things "serve low-income communities, young or first-time parents, or parents with young children will be given priority" for the grants.
Since all of us parents at one time were first time parents or had young children they are assuming all parents abuse their children. I find this an interesting supposition for our government to work from. If they are going to assume we are all child abusers, why don't they just remove the children from the parents as they are born and rear them the way they see fit?
The essence of government is power, and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. James Madison

I am full of opinion today. I think this problem is directly related to the "ostrich" one. I think most of the abuse and neglect that I read about is directly related to drug abuse. How very sad.
