One Breakdown Can Mean Losing Your Kid Forever

State governments are permanently taking hundreds of children from their parents—under a bizarre theory that they might, in the future, be too mentally ill to care for the young.

Indeed, a 2012 presidential commission report found that “parents with psychiatric disabilities experience the most significant discrimination when they attempt to exercise their fundamental right to create and maintain families.”

Here is a quick list of what is considered as "psychiatric disorders for parents" in child welfare:

• unemployment
• low income
• having a child out of wedlock
• divorce
• homosexuality
• former foster youth
• crying in court
• not crying in court
• separation anxiety
• no separation anxiety
• too many friends
• not enough friends
• being non-white
• being multicultural
• having a child with disabilities
• being in school
• filing grievances
• testifying in front of state legislature
• talking to the media
• posting on social media
• being blind
• being deaf

I believe I have made my point.
