Anyone with half a brain cell knows there is more to this story.
Another example of manufacturing outrage to get clicks- the truth be dammed.

As usual, Bobbie, a claim with absolutely NO backup.

Do you condone the giggling or other reactions by Democrats to this terrorism?

Social services has way too much power over families and children, and there are currently no meaningful safeguards. It is a stacked deck in court against parents. Early in my career as an attorney, I handled a number of these cases, but stopped (except in Hyde County where a common sense social services attorney would negotiate a fair result) after a conversation with one of our then serving district coutt judges. This judge, who I regard as the fairest and most objective of any district court judge I have practiced in front of, had just ruled for social services in a very weak case. When he explained why he did so, I realized that parents were never going to get a fair hearing under the current system. If that judge tilted so much that way, the whole system seemed broken.

The solution is actually pretty simple. Parents should have a right to trial by jury if social services wants to take their kids. Citizens have a right to a jury trial if the civil case is over money. Children are much more precious than money, so there should be a right to a jury trial there, too.

In addition, I have seen too many bad results from where social services has placed children when they took them from parents.

The US is now 26 in education. Largely because of these various unions and political pressure to keep the bureaucrats in power. Go Woke and go broke. Go woke and go stupid. Soon we will have to have artificial intelligence because we will have very little human intelligence. Look in our own backyard.

While Leftist Big Bob says "None of this is true," I do know this quite well, the Left, in conjunction with the Non Patriot Left, loves to disrupt society to the point that we move closer and closer until our Constitutional Republic becomes a Marxist Hell Hole.

Bobbie gives his usual response to facts that are inconvenient to his narrative. The original post has a link to an interview with the parents, and within it is also video on the subject from Fox News. As usual, Bobbie gives absolutely nothing to back up his false claim. He gives just a unsubstantiated statement with NO links to back it up.

Bobbie shows his ignorance once again. Trump attended the ceremony at the Pentagon rather than the one at the World Trade Center site, and he did NOT fall asleep. Why do you just keeping making up stuff like this?

The liberal who "gets it" is Bill Maher.

Trump slept through it.

There is little doubt that "Undocumented Democrat" Frankie Waters wants to replace himself on the county commission with a "Frankie Waters 2.0". Waters first tried to recruit Darrin Armstrong, vetted Armstrong, and approved him. Armstrong said he did not know if he had enough time to serve as a county commissioner, but then got recruited by a cadre of Raleigh liberals to run for NC House. That Waters connection makes me think Armstrong will probably turn out like a Howard Chapin or a Zeno Edwards in the NC House.

After Darrin Armstrong got away from him, John Edwards was Frankie Waters' backup. That tells you all you need to know about John Edwards.

Let me give you another heads up on another fake "Republican" likely to be coming down the pike in 2028. Liberal party switcher school board member Carolyn Walker and her clique are trying to reinvent former longtime liberal Democrat school board member Mack Hodges as a "Republican" to run him against a real Republican for the school board. Hodges is even more blatant than their school board candidate Monica Davis who was a Democrat most of the time she has lived in Beaufort County, but whom they ran as a "Republican" in the last primary.

Van Zant: Even though Frankie outspent me about 3 to 1 in the last race, I still received more votes than him in this crazy Limited Voting paradigm, which hurts real Conservatives. Why?

Because many people will vote their pocketbook first, and I practice what I profess - I represent Limited Government. Frankie Waters is a liberal Democrat, who represents Big Government. That worries me if this young John Edwards has been vetted by Frankie "the Fraud" Waters.

Frankie Waters is well respected by the RINOs running and ruining the Beaufort County GOP.
