You’ve Been A Bad Boy - Go Play On The Highway
And Texas wants to pass a law so that gay people can’t even foster children. You know, I don’t think it’s gay people we have to worry about.
Mom held after police say she left son on road, hit him with car

FALLS CHURCH, VA. - A mother was under arrest on child endangerment and other charges Wednesday after authorities said she abandoned her 4-year-old son on the Capital Beltway, then struck him with her car when he tried to get back in.
The boy was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises, police said, and handed over to a child protective services agency.
Police picked him up after receiving a call late Tuesday night from a motorist who said she had found a child wandering along Interstate 495.
“I said, ‘Why are you out here?’ And he said, ‘My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,’ “ the driver, who asked not to be identified, told WJLA-TV.
Virginia State Police said an investigation determined that Channoah Alece Green, 22, of Newport News, Va., abandoned the boy along the highway after she became upset with him.
“As she attempted to drive off, the child was trying to get back in the vehicle and was knocked down,” said Sgt. J.L. Doss. That led to a hit-and-run charge.
State police said they found Green after she was involved in a two-car accident on Interstate 95, north of Richmond, Va., later Tuesday night.

That is absolutely horrendous. What the hell is wrong with people?
Regarding Texas, my belief is that it is important for foster children to be placed in a loving home. Whether that family has a mom and a dad, two moms, or two dads makes no difference. These kids need stability and support in a healthy and loving environment.
If this law passes, does that mean that children will be taken out of loving homes to be placed elsewhere? Haven’t these children had enough upheaval in their young lives? What a huge disservice that would be.
