Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: I'm impressed you held out this long before busing out the Libs of Tik Tok!

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]First of all, as others on this site have noted, I am an attorney. I have worked in a prosecutor's office. "Law and Order" is bullshit, the ADAs weren't gorgeous supermodels, they were mostly balding middle-aged men. And I have seen the absolute horrible abuse parents visit on their children. From photos of cigarette burns up and down the kid's arms, to testimony of sexual abuse that would turn your stomach. Even parents with crosses 'round their necks and fish decals on their bumpers. So when someone says children need access to trained professionals at school who they can confide in and/or report abuse to, without their psycho parents finding out, I don't see red and say, "how dare you even suggest such a thing, children are the parent's personal property!!!" instead I get a thousand-yard-stare and say, "absolutely." Now I'm a little busy this morning, but I promise I will go through your arguments point-by-point this evening. Hang tight![/quote]
