Hattip to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. President Reagan knew what he was talking about when he said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
Marie died 12 hours after she arrived.
“They kidnapped my daughter. She was murdered,” said Freyre. “And I want my daughter back.”
Go here to the Tampa Bay Times to read the appalling rest. It would be kinder if the fiends who took Marie Freyre from her mother had simply taken out a pistol and blown out her brains. At least then she would have died with the mother who loved her instead of dying among completely indifferent strangers. If the State is going to forcibly remove a child and act en loco parentis, then the individuals who make that decision must face the same legal accountability as a parent would face for such a tragedy. Kids who are as profoundly disabled as Marie Freyre are blessed if they have a parent who loves them as much as Marie Freyre’s mother obviously loved her. Such love wasn’t enough to save her from the “caring professionals” of the State of Florida. God help her, her grief stricken mother and us.
Except that they repent, there is a special place in hell for those who perpetrated this dastardly, heinous deed. This is why I despise, loathe, detest and hate with all the fabric of my going being damnable liberal socialism.
“They kidnapped my daughter, she was murdered.”
She is absolutely right!
Paul.
Your spot on.
Good Luck and do not hold your breath hoping for real accountability.
You may get a scape goat but you WILL NOT get justice.
Oh, no, Karl, there will be both accountability and justice; it simply may be delayed.
“12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; 15* and if any one’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:12-15
