Bit -
So much posting has gone on since you responded to my post early this morning, that you may not have an interest in my response at this point, but I wanted to follow through and write back. If I miss anything, please let me know.
Sorry if I am interrupting the flow, folks.
I tried to cut and paste, but it was a mess, so I thought I would just respond free style.
It seems as though the main thing you were saying is that by my saying that if the woman becomes 1,000 lbs she would not be able to physically care for her child, (due to mobility issues), that I was strongly implying that her children should be taken away from her.
My answer is no, I do not think that anyone's children should be taken away from them unless they are being abused or neglected in some way. I don't see this woman any differently than I would anyone else. If she is indeed unable to physically care for her child at any point, then my hope is that some other adult can be a part of the household who can, so that they can all stay together.
If not, then I hope that the children would be with people they know (relatives or other), and not go into the foster care system, if possible.
Ok, so now I am off to read all of the posts I have missed all day!
P.S. Gemme, thanks for throwing out there what you thought I was saying since I couldn't post until now....you were right!
