I might be off the mark, but I had assumed that “radical social engineering” referred to the process of installing a quarter pipe ramp at a local skate park, where the kids can hang out.

Holy shit! Their answer to people who are depressed and hurting themselves is punishment? Fuck, when they have a documented history of mental illness that is not something to punish them for and keeping them from family visits only depresses them more. They’re already punishing themselves! They should be taken to the…

You right, fuck the guy for being white. It is his fault he was abused at the young age of six by his horrible Caucasian family. More media coverage should focus on the problems of the black prison population and not whitey!

sounds to me like somebody needs to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and accept the consequences of their actions and not get special treatment just because of who they...

Parents, you do not own your children. They are not property, they are individuals who have a right to autonomy and self-determination, especially as they near adulthood.

She is definitely worried that her child not being the gender that mom presented to the world is going to cause people to talk. And question her parenting and her devotion to god. Because clearly she isn’t a good parent or isn’t religious enough To Pray It Away.

“The news that county agencies and health service providers, the school and other county and state offices were completely bypassing me came as a total shock,” Calgaro said while beginning to cry. “Why wasn’t I even notified?”

This kind of reminds me of when, in high school, a friend/ex boyfriend ran away from home. His mother did the requisite begging and pleading and reaching out through friends to get him to come home. The day he came home, she promptly kicked him out of the house for running away.

I want that horrid human being to spell out EXACTLY what parental rights she believes are being violated. The rights of parents to abuse their children? The rights of parents to withhold medical care from their children (which is basically the same thing)? The rights of parents to force their children to live a gender…

In an incredible upset, Trump now has a serious rival for Worst Parent of 2016.

‘”Why wasn’t I even notified?”’

What a piece of shit “mother”. I hope this teenager is getting all the support and love they needs.

WTF is wrong with this mother? She did not care that her child moved out of the house, did not have contact with her, but now she’s crying over and pursuing litigation in the name of parental rights because of her child’s transition?! SMH...I’ll never understand some people’s definition of love, I guess.  

How do you get to a point in life where being “right” is more important than loving your own child?

It’s hard to imagine that those in the room who haven’t swilled a lifetime’s worth of the Trumperade did not point and laugh while she gave her “speech.” Maybe she should clean up the mess at her own house before attempting to clean up everyone else’s.

This should cheer you up!

Once they trust you, they’ll use you. This photographer gets used by the Meerkats as a tall thing to watch for predators from.

Oh thanks for the link.

Oh, that’s just rich coming from her, given that her husband is a major bully, sends vicious tweets, and is utterly devoid of empathy. And he has emboldened too many people who are similarly lacking in empathy to be mean, vicious bullies too.

Like anything that is powerful, it can have a bad side.
