    Draconian laws have the effect of turning abuse into murder. On the other hand, we absolutely need to be castrating abusive parents. Break the skull of your infant, it gets taken away, have another one. Over and over. This society is so damn ignorant.

        My family fostered, and had 3 children from the same woman, one after another over the years. I lived it, so maybe educate yourself about the world before correcting me. We don’t live in a good world, no matter how much you want to believe it.

        Parents who abuse or kill one child often go on to harm another, yet the U.S. lacks a national system to prevent them from having or regaining custody of future children. Despite prior terminations of parental rights, many go on to reoffend, a systemic failure in child protection.

          Way to cowardly backtrack on the serial child murder allegations, a thing that does not happen. Why are you not posting evidence of that? Oh right, it’s because you made it up.

          Yes, you likely will get children in and out of the foster care system, because drug addiction tends to be a really big issue, and not sure if you’re aware of anything, but people tend to relapse a significant portion of the time. However, that isn’t child murder, a thing you said happens, so let’s focus on that. Is the child murder in the room with you right now?
