And if the mother (or child) cannot afford to take care of a handicapped family member, what then? Does Idaho slap them into debtors prison?

There are lots of scary challenges--it's good of Tennessee to step up and strive to make her a ward of the state, which shows a lot for TN.

There is a law. It should be liable under "criminal negligence", IMO.

Actually gast, you were more right than you know.

In years past the Dims went into Cloverbottom & elsewhere every election & got the handicapped to "vote" with the liberals' help. These poor folks were bed ridden & couldn't even feed themselves, much less mark a ballot.

No, it was moi. ;)

I doubt criminal neglect would fall over this case as the poor child had yet to be "neglected" per se.

"If we changed some, but hardly all, of the fundamental political and economic principles that go into your ideal, we'd get the perfect liberal, I suppose. It's not like liberals don't have "higher and real standards."
