Thread Name: BS: Traveller Discrimination in the US 3
Subject: RE: BS: Traveller Discrimination in the US 3
OK Ron... back to square one. First of all, it is a genuine rarity, that a child is out placed when a member of a suspect class for discrimination, this has been the norm for most states I know of, for quite a long time here. Nor is it normal to investigate doctors who do forsensic work in a child abuse case when the only evidence is that they took photos, for a week after they knew he was a doctor they kept the case open. Nor is it common that defining elements of a people's culture are used as a reason a state gives for saying that an ethnic community are unfit to raise their children (the State of Indiana said they would not turn over the child to a nomadic Traveller). ... have to run, important phone call, I will be back to this... also remember that seeing something on video is not proof of much, which is why forensic evidence is done to suppliment, gotta run, Larry
