How does the mom not notice a 500 plant marijuana farm in her ex's home? Since when does a 911, especially an accidental call, call give probable cause to search a residence? |

I'm sure that will come up if the man gets a lawyer.... My niece dialed 911 once and we didn't know until someone from the police showed up at the door, they asked if there was a a problem, we said no, someone must have accidentally called and they left. Sounds like to me that they may have been watching this guy to begin with and this was just a opening to check it out.... |

Remember, this is the reporters version. The police can say things like "Do you mind if we look around?" Also, if there was evidence of drugs in the room, or other illegal substances or activities. One of our kids came in from a domestic dispute that the police were called in on... when they got to the residence, they noticed a porn site on the computer screen that the mother had been updating and cameras around the house....with a 7 year old girl in the home. They had probable cause to search (and what the found was bad) and boy was that little girl MESSED up in the head. IOW, if the child is in immediate danger (not just having a bad name) they can search. |

Yeah, Im not so much worried about the fact that the police searched the house. There must have been something that smelled fishy to them so they went in. I don't think they just did it because they were bored or something. However, I think it's more concerning that the Mom didn't do anything. Im pretty sure she knew what was going on in that house and she still left her kid with the Ex Doesn't really scream 'good parent'

To jump around.... I see so many really really REALLY bad parents that when articles are posted about families having 13, 15, 18 kids who are clearly GOOD parents I cheer. Someone has to balance things out. Really, 90% of our kids come from--- single parent homes. one or both adults clearly not giving a crap about the kid ("MY life is important! I gotta be happy!") Folks who gave birth to these children for all the wrong reasons (# 1 is to get their BF to marry them, #2 is to be a grown up). |

Honestly, that seems to be more of an american problem. I see that a lot with marriages since I work a lot with soldiers. It looks like a lot of the young guys get married as soon as they gratuate just so they can move out from their parents or be grown up or whatever other reasons. I know so many people that have their second or third marriage going on by the time they hit 25. In Germany you have the other extreme. If you marry at age 25 you are a minority. I personally think that you can't make it work when you do it for the wrong reasons. It's even worse when you have kids because of the wrong reasons because you screw up the kids life as well. |

schnuppi, you would be surprised at what people can hide! I know that much of my family didn't have a clue about my mom and what she did. They knew some, but not the depths of it. And the "some" was acceptable, the depths wouldn't have been. Sometimes, it is distance (like I want to believe it was with my dad), but I think the biggest part of it is not wanting to look and not wanting to see. If you see you have to act. In custody cases, even if you know sometimes it isn't enough to get custody arrangements to change - so they don't want to know. |

You deal with men who've actually chosen careers and have at least some small goals and aspirations in life. So you see people who have some ethics and sense of basic decency (not all, but most). We deal with those who are 3rd generation welfare, single parent homes, few with high school diplomas and their goals in life are non-existant. Kids are just something you do or a way to get something you want for yourself. The mindset is truly bizarre because the normal behaviors you expect to see from parents aren't there..... They're expecting to be taken care of, not care for someone else.... So we get the messed up kids. |

Yeah, in this case it's probably more something along the line of "I don't want to know". You're defianetly right about that! It's hard for me to believe that she didn't see the signs but it would make sense to me that she didn't want to see the signs. Doesn't really make it better though... |

Honestly, I think there are those who intently put their heads in the sand. To know the truth would destroy the world they've created, so to protect their 'world' they sacrifice something or someone. There is actually a term in foster parenting about the sacrificial child....IOW, to keep the family intact and the illusion whole, a child (or the children) will be sacrificed. That's the way it was in our family. |

Well, you're right about the soldiers having at least small goals and don't have to be on welfare. However, there are enough women who marry the soldier because he has steady pay check, he's never home, and the Army pays for housing. Pretty much the same thing as getting knocked up because you want Welfare. A lot of the guys get married because they want to move out of the barracks and because they get more money. Basically it's a different cover of the same book I recognize a lot of the things you say about the people you work with in a lot of families I have to deal with |
