The precedent of taking kids away because parents aren't intelligent has been set

The highlights:

Amy Fabbrini, 31, and Eric Ziegler, 38, had both of their children taken into foster care, the youngest right after he was born in the hospital

After taking a required IQ test, Ziegler scored a meager 66 and Fabbrini a 72
The IQ of the average person ranges anywhere from 90-110.

Domestic abuse and neglect were not factors in the custody case, but didn't need to be, according to a report

Fabbrini and Ziegler will continue to be granted supervised visitation rights

Good luck finding a foster home willing to take retard babies.



ETA but seriously, this is kinda fricked considering the level of neglect parents get away with these days.

In Texas (during the 80's), there was a ton of litigation to establish various rights of the mentally challenged. Right now, sounds like they are starting to take those rights away.

I thought a liberal state like Oregon would support the right of those who are mentally challenged to procreate.

So their own family filed a custody report against them because they couldn't care for their own children

Eta:
quote:

A relative to the couple initially expressed concern in a complaint to authorities regarding the Christopher's well-being under the care of Fabbrini and Ziegler, according to theOregonian.

A child welfare report alleged Ziegler had been 'sleeping with the baby on the floor and almost rolled over on him.' 

Fabbrini's father, Raymond, said he and his wife were acting as the primary caregivers at the time, because he believed his daughter did not possess the 'instincts to be a mother.'

They shouldn't limit it to intelligence. I'm sure a lot of different ughhh cultures need children away from their parents and off the streets.

This is an extremely dangerous precedent.

That being said, if they were going to have mandatory IQ testing (WTF?), then they should have done that before they had kids.

They should just move to Tennessee, where they'd be about average.

Okay but together they're a 138 so that's pretty good.

There's a great irony in making fun of Tennessee on a Louisiana sports message board

You know how wives can't testify against their husbands?

Family shouldn't be able to do shite like this either.
