RE: Never Forget: Alexandria Hill
This is monsterous!
I recently discovered that cannabis is classed as a schedule 1 drug. This is ridiculous and quite likely the excuse used for removing children from the care of anyone using it. When you think that the child was then removed to a household where a recovering user of crack cocaine (a schedule 2 drug) would potentially be caring for her, the mind just boggles!
When confronted, officials in the state of Texas (where this happened), said, "in our state, marijuana use in parents is determined to contradict the child's best interest." Or some BS like that. I don't know how social workers can live with themselves. Do they really think it's wrong, or do they just use it as an excuse to remove children?
Sure it is! Butt crack user in a foster parent doesn't contradict it at all! Who wants chilled out, laidback parents.
It's possible that they have been brainwashed into thinking it terrible for the child. I think they really believe they are doing the right thing, but they won't be people who are variable of thinking for themselves.
