Man has daughter taken away because he smoked marijuana, Two months later she dies from foster paren - Polidicks

[quote]Joshua Hill’s two-year-old daughter was taken away from him last November because he was caught smoking marijuana while she was asleep. Child Protective Services put young Alexandria Hill in the care of foster parents, who abused and eventually murdered the child two months later.[/quote] [url]http://elitedaily.com/news/world/awful-man-gets-child-taken-away-because-he-smoked-weed-foster-parents-kill-child/[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBhTU5xvTM[/media] It's so horrible since parents were foster parents and they've adopted two kids through it. Assholes like this ruin everything.

Marijuana smokers get their children taken away and put in the hands of child abusers. Thanks, government drug scare tactics and no tolerance policies.

Are you fucking KIDDING ME?

only a hundred thousand dollar bail?

I couldn't imagine what my life would be like if I had my own daughter murdered. I wouldn't be able to think for a while knowing that she could've lived a long fulfilling - everything gone. I don't know how to describe my sympathies towards this man.

So he got his child taken away for smoking marijuana and trying to relax while she was sleeping and now this child is dead. This world is just so fucking dark sometimes.

This is just ridiculous! Not just what they removed her for but that when the child was being treated badly they took so fucking long to act.

and yet i'm betting there are people out there who think that, while it was regrettable that she was murdered, it's still a good thing that she was taken from that pot smoking monster

and another reason Marijuana should be legalized. Just sayin'

Again sorry for the post formatting. I tried out one of the other text editor options and it fucked me over and I can't edit it for some reason.

I think this be viewed as two separate incidents, you can't go after the people who took her away and say "if he would have been allowed to smoke weed she could have lived." No, some people in the foster system actually care for kids and some don't, but it has nothing to do with the father smoking marijuana

HOW do they keep getting these incredible approved-to-be foster parents? I have trouble recalling when a foster parent was fuck awesome. They always seemed to be assholes.

[QUOTE=Man in the Moon;41755791]Not the time, nor the place.[/QUOTE] how is it not the time or place? this was caused by stupid marijuana laws and a terrible adoption screening process. both should be discussed. [editline]8th August 2013[/editline] there should be a mandatory period of random check ups on foster parents

SEE GUYS, MARIJUANA KILLS PEOPLE.

if a tragedy is a goddamned good reason why you're right I feel like you have a right to use the tragedy

[QUOTE=JudgeDredd;41755728]and another reason Marijuana should be legalized. Just sayin'[/QUOTE] -snip- I thought you said 'shouldn't' be legalized. :v:

If you're going to be outraged about something be outraged for the right reason, Pot laws are ridiculous yes, But They aren't the reason this child is dead.

Ya know rarely new stories like this tend not make me emotional but Christ I was on the verge of tears watching it.

It's because so many of these people take on foster children for benefits, right?

Then I explained, Agreeing with your previous post.

[QUOTE=pentium;41755913]HOW do they keep getting these incredible approved-to-be foster parents? I have trouble recalling when a foster parent was fuck awesome. They always seemed to be assholes.[/QUOTE] You don't hear about the good ones

[QUOTE=Man in the Moon;41756362]you also asked how it's not the time nor place to address the pot laws. Then I explained, Agreeing with your previous post.[/QUOTE] well alright but i still think both things should be discussed since both things added to this. i'll agree the more pressing issue is how the fuck these people have managed to adopt TWICE when they're capable of this

[QUOTE=JudgeDredd;41755728]and another reason Marijuana should be legalized. Just sayin'[/QUOTE] A child has died and all you can care about is that weed should be legal. There is a time, and a place. This is neither of those. On the correlating note, this is fucking disgusting. There need to be more serious evaluations for couples looking to become foster parents.
