The Outfit Isn't the Only Scary Thing


Seven children, age 13 down to a newborn infant were taken by child services from their parents in Dundee, Scotland. Hours after the baby was born, local authorities took the baby from the Mom to protect it's welfare. The parents crime: being obese. The mother weighs 322 pounds, the dad weighs 252. I wonder if the Scottish Child Protective people have ever been inside a Walmart in parts of West Virginia? Or maybe Tennessee? Over half of the parents would have their kids taken away because of the parents obesity. Linda said she is all for being healthy and a good role model, but this is just scary. What if the ASPCA comes in and takes me from Linda because they don't like how many hours I'm alone on Saturday? Or what if they come in and tell people their kids can't go to a Christian school because they need a more "rounded" education? Oh wait, that one already happened.
