Odds ‘n Sods:

It’s coming everyone. Your Parental Rights Of Your Children Terminated by your State. The example in the article is of a mother transporting meth and she nearly lost custody of all her children, but the article is clear on the State “authority” determining “abuse” in parent’s conduct.
