This is awful. I hate to see something like this happening so close to home. I hope nothing like this happens in Ohio. This is just awful. He should definitely appeal.

So much for freedom of religion.

Unless you're a christian of course.

Disgusting controlling, communistic, freaky, religious zealots. They would wish they were in hell if they ever did that to me.

Agreed, IF true. I'd need to see the actual court transcripts to form an opinion based on evidence.

Thank you. Yes, it's appalling but unsurprising.

That's okay, anything to help Smile

It is very appalling, if this was someone's child being taken away because they were a Christian there would be national outcry. But then again, that wouldn't happen in the first place. Not in America anyway.

More than anything, this is simply sad. Too often shithead parents are allowed to keep their children and good parents have them ripped away. There should be very few criteria for intervention. In other words, if you aren't raping it, hitting it or purposely making it ill, it's yours.

I feel really bad for those kids. My father is an atheist. I would have been horrified to have him taken out of my life. Best father that ever lived, but I'm biased. My mom is Christian, so I probably could have kept her. Smile
