Hello...Hello...Reader You Need To Wake Up!

I shared a picture of my son being reunited with his kids after being gone for six months. Many, many of our military families have more than 12 months that separate kids from parent/parents. The point of the picture in context of the discussion is that parents and grandparents reunite all the time without a 1 hour visitation, once a month, transition that lasts for months. And, for people who did nothing wrong....like so many situations where CPS takes kids without REAL cause and does not place with relatives like the law requires...there is no need to prolong the reunion and cause anguish for adults and damage to the child/children. The reader somehow comes up with this:

A parent being deployed can hardly be compared to a parent who`s a crackhead. A parent who loves their child wouldn`t wait 4 years to try to get the child back. And, certainly wouldn`t abuse them during visits. Yes, remember there were experts who said the marks on Poca were consistent with abuse. She came back from visits with parents that you are claiming love her so much with suspicious marks on her. The truth was told in the news. I followed the whole story.

Hello, hello...reader stay on point. Who brought up crackheads? This blog is about shining the light of day on government wrongdoings. And, for the record...I have never taken a position on Poca. I report by forwarding KING 5 because I respect the work of Susannah Frame. She is a woman of courage. How many other reporters are taking on CPS? And, are there any other readers that slip off the log?

Apparently I wasn't paying close attention. Here is the reader's response: "The comment highlighted on this was written in response to another comment made by someone else, not you Senator Roach. Somebody else made a comment comparing a parent being deployed to Poca`s parents getting her back and how much they loved her. It was only in response to that comment and not what you blogged about."
