Finally, a decision has been reached in a story that I brought to you some time back. Obviously, Canada doesn't mess around when it comes to their children.
The Manitoba government has won permanent guardianship of two children whose parents were accused of teaching them neo-Nazi beliefs.
A Court of Queen's Bench judge has ordered that the boy and girl remain in the custody of Child and Family Services (CFS), which has placed them in foster care with a relative.
The court also dismissed a constitutional challenge from the father, who argued the government violated his right to raise the children according to his beliefs. He is the stepfather of the girl, now nine, and the biological father of the boy, now four years old.
'This is communism, state-sanctioned theft of children to punish their parents based solely on an alleged belief system.' —Mother of seized children
To protect the identities of the children, no one involved in the case can be named.
The children were removed from their home in 2008 after the girl showed up at her elementary school with racist writings and symbols on her skin.
The government agency argued the children were emotionally harmed and were also being raised in squalor and suffering from neglect. Read more:
Wow, this is a difficult question, no? Sure, neo-nazi views are noxious and horrible. But where does one draw the line between freedom and what is good for the kids? Does teaching your kids that the world is only 6000 years old count as a similar kind of abuse? What about teaching your kids Nation of Islam type of stuff?
ReplyDeleteI am merely thinking aloud; I don't have a good answer.
I know, Harriet - it's tough. What about raising a child in an atmosphere of hate, promoting genocide of entire groups, preparing them for a racial holy war, teaching them how to kill, and grooming them to be the next Hitler? Is that abuse? Should that be a crime?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, either. But, something tells me that these kinds of decisions might have to be made eventually. You raise some very good questions.
Maybe we can also throw in the abuse that the majority of low income nigglet children have to go through.
ReplyDeleteIf you know em when they are very young before they have been damaged by their parents, they are just like every other kid. But the parents teach them "Ebonics" (which damages them for life), throw some corn rows in the boys hair so he can be a tru player, and teach em the gangsta street hustler lifestyle. The next thing you know they're 14 and locked up.
Even if their parents are decent black people the little niggers they hang around will teach them how a nigga is supposed to act and they will be ruined in no time.
And to top it off, the key people they look to are clowns like Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson. But the ones they want to be like have a "grill" in their mouth and talk about gangsta life and selling drugs.
Racism noted, bad parental advice, noted. Suggestion: Don't ever let your fat ass breed.

ReplyDeleteThe German Nazi Party yanked children away from their parents because some parents wanted their children not to grow up being little Nazis.
