Repost: What type of Adults need to be allowed...

Now I know I am about to get slammed again by those who only read a few lines like this got the fist time I posted it.

I know this sounds like a "Big Brother" type of question, but when you see some headlines and hear some of the news today, it is actually a moral question. Take today's news I heard, of a woman selling her 7 year-old daughter for porn and what ever the buyer wanted. When the police held a sting operation for the woman, she came with a bag of sexy dresses for the girl, and sex toys with prices that they could be used for.

Thank who ever you believe in the mother no longer has that poor girl. But the issue of this question is not just her, but the parents that have kids and doing all sorts of other things with and to them. I mean how many of you have heard of cases where a drugged out parent has sold their child for sex to get drugs? Or the parent that beats, molests, or even as fat as kills them?

Is there a way to with a high level of surety sort out those that are not fit to be parents? If so should they as part of their marriage tests be tested for this, and if fails have to be fixed so they will not be able to become parents?

Personally, if a parent is a known drug user, just for precaution, I would say they could not have kids and should be fixed so they could not. But that still leaves many others this would not even touch. So how?

Children as we all know are not able to defend themselves so society has to find a way to protect them with laws and guide lines in their defense. Yet there are other issues involved that have to be taken into consideration as well.

First of all, no test is ever going to be 100%, and that fact is well documented from the errors we have done before based on tests governments and learned experts have tried to correct a number of things. I was through one in the UCLA when I was a kid. Being dyslexic and reading books that were so far above my age level, the Schools in California thought there was something wrong with me. So I went to UCLA where they thought they could detect retardation from blood tests. I was stigmatized (as in classified) through my whole time in school because of this, even though I never showed what they thought they would find.

Another thing to remember is that People do not always show the same signs as others with the same problems, which is why it is hard to detect some forms mental illness easily in many people, and thing some have it when in fact they do not. Testing might weed out some, and misdiagnose many more maybe within a safe parameter or way outside it.

When I look at the various cultures I have studied, in books read, and in college as an Anthropology student, I see one thing in the simpler cultures we have long lost. That is any form of social unity. In a culture that is what we would label "Primitive" if someone was to molest or hurt a child, they would either be kicked out of the community to live in the wild with nothing but the close on their backs, or out right killed (both leading to the same thing). In our present culture, we are often afraid to speak out, or get involved because of being sued for defending a child, having the person (the accused) coming after you, or being ignored. I agree there are malicious people out there that would do this just for spite, but I am not talking about them. Our schools very much fail our kids too when they see the signs. They should be the first to speak up, but in most cases they stay quite and don't make waves in the community that pays their checks. This should be a reason Not to pay them!

In ending, I just feel as a citizen of this country, and a friend to people from many countries, that there should be something that would help these kids, either from a social or political avenue. Maybe a combination will be what is needed.
