Conservatives destroy innocent mother’s life for letting boy be boy

[Yarglenurp]

Another example of conservative small-town values in action. A 10-year boy decides to walk by himself from home a small town, and the local freak out and arrest his mother. Worst part was that she didn’t even know her son was doing it.

Welcome to 2024 in Trumpland, USA.

Really sad how small town cops just love ruining a woman’s life

TDS is strong in this one.

It's more than Trump hate.
It's a lot more virulent than conservative dislike.
I suspect that at the root of it is a lot of self-loathing and projection.

Putting the woman in jail will make it easier for the MAGAts to make sure she never sees a gynecologist.

Are brownshirts like you awarded gold stars for what you "suspect"?

They’d happily arrest mothers because they don’t see mothers as people, just extensions of their husbands.

I'm no right winger, but what part of a parent being arrested for doing what parents in the 1980s did seems conservative to you?

The part where the conservatism of the 1980s doesn’t exist anymore, and modern conservatives just want to give cops the right to arrest random people who’s last name don’t end in “Trump” for any reason they want.

The old conservatives don’t exist. Modern trump conservatives are all about hurting people they don’t like using whatever bullshit excuse they come up with. And right now, it’s the modern conservatives who rule everything.

No liberal would deprive a family of their mother over shit like this. It’s only a conservative who’d consider something like that.

Imagine what would have happened to 12 year old Tom Sawyer's mother when he left home to see the world.

He had no mother.

One thing to keep in mind is that the average conservative doesn’t worry about truth or fairness. With this, they have inflicted their agenda on the rest of us, and will likely do so for the foreseeable future.

It’s time to learn the language of victory. Better to be kings of the ashen wastes than part of the ashes.

The viewpoints that this is a political issue or police overreach is off-base.

This is about poor parenting under the guise of fostering independence in children. The mother's actions demonstrate the same attitude of fostering independence as giving the troubled kid in Michigan a firearm for Christmas, knowing he had social issues. Sad parenting in both cases.

BTW. Who 'raised' those parents in both cases?

The article is poorly written as well. It says the boy's father was at home somewhere on the property and later that he was in another state. It became, in the end, the grandfather having to take charge of the family situation as the mother failed her children. The police gave her options, and she chose not to accept them and avoid arrest. So, there is no clear political overreach by the police or child services in the matter.

The Michigan parents and their child are in prison. The article does not clarify what is to become of this Georgia woman. What is clear is that she needs counseling, in my opinion.

What is also clear is that some of you are trying to make this about Donald Trump and MAGA. It's not that at all.

This is absolutely political and is endemic of the conservative mindset that arrests and police are the solution to every problem. These police and law enforcement no longer feel like they have any connection with the communities they are supposed to police. Depriving a person of his or her freedom is nothing more another way to keep the dollars flowing. Just look at how much private prison stocks soared the moment Trump won the election.

You are overdramatizing the social/civil parental issue as a political matter. It is not political. It is a parenting issue that rose to the level of a police matter. The community police reacted to the concerns because a community member was involved in the situation.

A womanly instinct came into play as a woman reported a ten-year boy alone on the highway, in her area. His responses to her questions raised concern for his welfare. She did the appropriate thing as any reasonable citizen should and reported it out concern for his well-being. That's the community's appropriate response.

The police responded by ensuring his safety and investigating. It is their duty to safeguard children. Alone and without supervision, they took him into their care and contacted his mother. Her lack of concern about his whereabouts indicated that he might not be well looked after.

The mother was offered a software tracking package for the boy's cellphone. A ten-year-old with a cell phone. She declined, believing it was some 'government' scheme. The offer was provided as an alternative to arrest for child neglect. She declined, and the police responded by arresting her and finding thelt, the grandfather, and releasing responsible adu the child into his custody along with his sixteen-year-old brother. That's civic responsibility in action as well.

You call it depriving the mother of her freedom. I call it protecting her children from potential neglect. Her loss of a few days in jail is minor to the potential harm that could have happened if someone with ill intent had picked the child up.

An offer to the situation was made that didn't involve her arrest; she refused to take it. That's not the fault of the police nor some 'conservative mindset.' It was common sense.

No, it is just a sign of conservative fascism in practice. That you don’t see it is just a sign of how little the public really cares for their rights.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Too many evil people who pray on children out there. Too many horrific real life violent crimes involving innocent children. There are different philosophies about how free a child’s range should be, but why in the world would anyone criticize a police officer for being concerned about a little kid alone on a rural highway? The arrest of the mom might have been unnecessary but she was booked and released within a couple hours. Hopefully she won’t be prosecuted and this ends with a positive outcome for all involved. It’s a good thing when police officers and members of the community act when they see kids in potentially dangerous situations.

You belief and obstinacy point to your inability to read your sign: your mind is bent. Ask for another one.

Nope, my mind is clear. Conservatives deprive babies of their mothers. They’re disgusting:
