I heard different on Paula Zahn this morning (CNN). The sherrif was on TV in full CYA mode, the way they do. The woman has been harassed before by child services etc. The children has simple sunburns, the kind every kid gets at the swimming pool. The story about the collapsed lung is a fabrication. The child was born prematurely and had underdeveloped lungs - certainly an issue, but hardly a woman dragging around a frittered, gasping waif.

The charges have been dropped other than a misdemeanor charge, which is also unjustified. The state knows that control of how you raise and teach your children amounts to control over you - as insidious a form of tyranny as can be imagined. It takes a village to install tyranny.
