There is this house up the street from me that has a bijillion foster kids...I can't keep track of the kids that come in and out of there...but one of them, a 5 year old (yes, 5!!) asked me if I had any pot I could sell him. I was like http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif NO, and if I did, I would be smarter than to sell it to a 5 year old!! He asked this while riding over on his "big wheel" bike, LOL.

I'm getting a little bit confused here.
What sort of criteria must prospective foster carers meet to enable them to care for children ????
I'm not sure I understand the situation there in the USA. I know to be a foster carer here in Australia....boy you get REALLY checked out.

I'm not totally sure what kind of criteria you need-I know for adopting, either parent cannot have a criminal record, but I'm not sure for fostering. I think they just get a home inspection once in a while. I'm trying to count the kids I've seen...there are (at least) 3 younger boys (ages around 8-10 years old or so), a 18/19 year old girl who has a 3 year old girl herself with another on the way, another high-schooled age girl, two pre-teen girls, and a maybe 5 year old girl. I've seen other kids living there every now and then. Two of the children were born to the mother, one of the boys and the 19 year old, the rest are fostered. The boys get into the most trouble, they have been caught stealing from other people's property-been caught in people's houses, on their porches, etc. Cops are there constantly (probably not every other day, but once every week or two), but I've never seen anything happen to them. I *believe* that the oldest boy, the 10 year old, has been somewhere for his delinquency (sp), I'm not sure though. And yes, they do allow the three year old to run around on the streets by herself. :( We do live in a nice neighborhood, with speed bumps and everything, and they are usually at the little park across the street from their house, but anything can happen.

They must be joking, the mother, grandmother, great grandfather and probably Lord Tutu from the Congo.
These people are not civilised, they should be back in Jigaboo land throwing rocks at zebras or something.
Lock the bloody lot of them up, and foster the kid out to a loving home !!!!

I am strongly against what these men did. It's just.... ugh! Some peoples children, ya know?

HOWEVER, cannabis does not "damage their brains to the point... etc". It does no such thing. It does not make you "mentally retarded". It looks like it was either a lapse in judgment, these young men were being stupid, or these young men were already "bad seeds".

What's wrong with looking and acting "mentally retarded" anyways? I think I know what you're referring to and I have never seen someones appearance change while they're smoking pot. Crack, meth? Yes.

Besides, blaming it on the pot just gives them another excuse and they don't have to accept the responsibility. It was *them*, *they* were the ones who decided to do what they did.

Oh don't you worry about that. If they had been white kids they would have got exactly the same comments from me.
Whoever it is, they have NO right to do what they have to small children.
Call it racist, call it what you will, take offence to it.
I take more offence to those lowlifes, who will probably get away with it.
And so should you !!!!!

After listening to the kids mother, I shudder to think what is really going on in this country every day that we don't see. I think someone already mentioned this. This behavior could be a common practice. I would certainly hope not, of course, but with such complacency, as seen on the mother's part, who knows? My skin is crawling again. Ugh :( :mad: :(

Can't we implement something in this country to prevent some people from having children? Far fetched maybe but necessary. :(
