3 Children removed from NJ parents

[kandrathe]

... Your fears about your own kids notwithstanding, it really is appropriate for the PTB to act first and then verify matters if there is a concern about the safety of the children. Until we hear more, you are merely grandstanding, methinks.

I say, if there is merit to the case, then charge the parents with a crime. Where is due process? This is the same mentality that allows the government to take people from their beds in the night never to be heard from again. They are protecting society first, and they'll figure out the charges later in a few years maybe if someone makes a big enough noise about it. AND, that too has happened in America, the former land of the free. I'm not grand standing. I'm outraged by the yoke of government, and I have a right to be outraged. I'm concerned that too many people in America no longer recognize tyranny then they see it. This is not an unfair tax on imported tea, this is a case where peoples children are taken from them with no given explanation. Yes, they are probably despicable people, but unless the children are at risk (from demonstrable parental abuse), then the children should be with the parents. All indications I've seen are that the state is claiming to be protecting the children from possible retaliation against the parents (e.g. telling Mr. Campbell to remove the swastika's from his car to protect his children).
