*Gives the judge a standing obation*
I agree with the ruling. I don't think it has anything to do with their finances. It never once said they were too poor to care for the children. If they can afford the drugs, then they can easily afford to take care of the children! I think that these people need to be forced into rehab, forced to come clean, and then forced to take a parenting class. Only after that would I allow them to get their children back, and only after they prove that they can take care of those should they be allowed to have more. It's not fair for the children to be born into a world where they're not going to be cared for. These people need that wakeup call, and the judge was giving it to them.

The problem with this is what about the children these people already had who are abused, neglected, etc. It seems to me that there must be some sort of system that would require people to be held accountable PRIOR to the hurt and pain. I just can't put a finger on what that would look like. (Note: In no way am I advocating that the government regulate our sex lives -- just wondering how to prevent the abuse to begin with.)

Education. That's how you prevent the abuse.
