I did some reading and I don't think this is compulsory...I think this is more in line with a universal healthcare proposal and will be a service the state will make available to all parents. This is already occurring in North Carolina. I think this should be criticized as more of a cost issue than the "nanny state". I'm nearly certain compulsory inspections would be unconstitutional.

IF this bill actually does what the OP claims, those 18 sponsors likely constitute a significant majority of the sum total of support for this stupid bill.

Are you implying that Boatshoes read a headline, did no research and went immediately into Skyscream mode?

This is how I read it as well. If you read farther in to the PJ Media article the author admits he doesn't know if it will be mandatory or not.

Honestly I'm disappointed with PJ Media for running this. They're usually much better about running bait articles with misleading headlines.

So are they going to actually take away kids from dead beat parents that are living off the government? This would be a good thing for people on welfare if we actually took their kids and benefits away for not using the benefits to take care of their kids . If they didn’t like us checking on their kids then they can give up their welfare benefits.

Or, create more government expenditure for over loaded case workers that currently claim they cannot keep up with the child cases they have.



And it's a good way to have gov employees scope out you house for signs of things they find offensive, and use the "Do it for the children" shtick. Signs of anti government..a few "subversive" magazines on the table...hunting paraphernalia or gun advocacy? You're a bad parent.

It would be if it were compulsory, which it is not.

There is nothing unconstitutional about a study. Which is what this bill is. A study. And, there is ZERO mention of the word "required" in the bill. That is a fabrication by the author to scare the anti-gov't types. I'm shocked that it worked.

But yeah - go ahead and start a revolution over this. Makes perfect sense.

From a Constitutional standpoint, I'm not sure this bill could ever be enacted. It violates 4th Amendment protections as well as 5th Amendment protections just for starters.

To come into a private residence, the state would have to show tat something illegal and dangerous is being done there and the threshold for the probable cause would have to be high such as credible reports of child abuse or illegal activity. If you were to be forced to accept this, then 5th amendment protections would kick in

Why have a study on something like this.....it's a boondoggle

are there any liberals left that care about decency? or personal liberty?

I am not even surprised by the left wing lunacy anymore, but the stories and ideas coming from the left just keep getting scarier and more pernicious
