an IQ of 70-80 is considered mental retardation

most states have laws that prevent both parents that fall under mental retardation from having full custody of children

So it's legal for her to be an incubator but not a parent. Let's just call this new way of governing Delivery Abortion.

God's little miracles... unless you're deemed too stupid to spell God.

I know of a 22yo girl with 2 kids (different dads, both in jail) who got kicked out of her parents house for being a POS... she went to the grandparents to live

She parties every night with different dudes, no job, wrecked the grandparents car, got arrested for BEING IN A SHOOTOUT IN THE GRANDPARENTS' OTHER CAR... got out, and has essentially abandoned her kids to keep partying

All the while the grandparents are raising her kids

Gonzo gonna Gonzo... but in certain cases, I think it's justified, although I agree that it is a slippery slope

Exactly, test them early and sterilize before they reproduce. Not the kid's fault that their parents are as stupid as a fried popsicle.

All these liberal places cheer homosexuality and trans

Being mentally or physically limited or disabled doesn't fit their agenda

Retarded people have been losing custody of their kids for decades.

IQ of 66? That's barely enough to wipe your own arse.

Wives CAN testify against their husband. They cannot be forced to testify against their husband. Big difference.

In some ways I have no problem with this. I used to give intelligence tests to send to DDS to see if someone was eligible for a govt. check because they were mentally handicapped. A lot of them would come in with their dozen or so kids in the waiting room and try to obviously scam me.... they would test at a level that indicated they should not be able to put on a t-shirt independently much less care for a kid... they made me fricking sick. Obviously I would write fraud in my report and be done.

What really made me sick was the parents who found a way to scam in the past and were now coaching their kids to do the same, because they came to see this as a viable career.

Then there were the parents who really did test as mentally handicapped... they would also have their tons of kids with them.... the kids would be malnourished, have rotting teeth, smell horrible and be wearing clothes 5 sizes too small....it was sad.

Redmond is in a pretty conservative area, like most of the west coast states when you leave the coast and population centers.

I'm sure they're both technically disabled under state and federal law which might change the ballgame some

it's not just as cut and dry as omg the state takes away the kids of stupid people

Yeah, I read an article quite a while back about this happening to another woman with mental disability. I think she fought for years for her child and at least was able to still be a part of her daughter's life. Don't remember the details though.

I remember there being questions about if the mother really understood the responsibility and would be able to provide a base level of competence in care. There were basic tasks that the mother struggled to perform. The whole thing is pretty heart breaking, but a person can see the case of the state.

shite, Canada recently passed a law that allows the government to take the kids of people whose religious or other views prevent them from allowing their kids to become transgendered.

Which begs the question, if the parents aren't encouraging the kids to explore transgenderism, who the frick is?

This is the form of education that they pay attention to. Screw the form that would actually allow them to improve their lives.

I think the average IQ for a certain demographic is 85. This could be interesting.
