CAN'T NEGLECT THIS
In Matter of Courtney G., Courtney G.'s mother was allegedly a substance abuser who failed to adequately supervise her daughter by "permitting her to become pregnant on multiple occasions." Mom also fought with the child while the latter was pregnant.
When the Onondaga County Family Court dismissed the neglect petition, on the ground that the allegations against the mother were insufficient as a matter of law, an appeal to the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, followed.
The AD4 thought the pleadings set forth a "prima facie" neglect case and reinstated the matter for a formal hearing or trial.
Now there's no neglecting that!

What was the mother supposed to do? Lock the daughter in a closet? Make sure she took condoms to school with her each day? Buy her a chastity belt? Have the kid's fallopian tubes removed?
Why aren't the parents of the kid(s) who impregnated Courtney being accused of neglect? It is child neglect if your daughter becomes pregnant, but perfectly fine for your teenage son to run around knocking up young girls?
And who might be telling ACS to accuse mom of using drugs? Little Courtney after her "altercation" with mom? Her boyfriend? Boyfriend's parents?

We should be encouraging our young people to refrain for extramaritial relations. Abstince is what God would prefer.

Ha, MotherHub, your Freudian slip finally reveals your true identity: Minion of the Antichrist!
Every person of faith knows God drinks Makers Mark; it is Satan who prefers Absinthe.
Luckily, the forces of light will soon cast you and your ilk back to hell, where you came from:
