Just my opinion...
I think CPS is a case study in why government agencies can and do go bad. I'm sure that if you followed a CPS case worker for a week, you would be appalled and sickened by some of the things that they have to deal with. I'll go out on a limb and say that the majority of cases that they touch are probably handled correctly.
We are in agreement there...But what gets me is a fact that you can post a video or a picture of a toddler taking a hit off a bong that the parents "might" have loaded with some "stuff", and you hear absolutely nothing about the investigation, or contact by any agency in that instance...

I guess it is more socially dangerous for a kid handling a gun (responsibly/safely), than it is to have a toddler getting stoned out of their mind...Both under parental supervision... :mad5

:smilelol5:

I posted the glider pics with my 13 yr old and a pic of my 11 yr old in the cockpit of a biplane. Working with disadvantaged kids on a daily basis, I'm pretty confident DPS has their hands full with real issues.

Maybe I should post some pics of the boys on the runways hooking up gliders and running along side the glider holding up the wing until the glider takes off and then jumping in the golf cart to make a mad dash off the runway before the next plane lands. Nah, that's not dangerous, that's just fun.

BTW, tons of hunting pics of my boys on FB. No issues.
Even better, 5th grade science project - used 3 different rounds of ammo with multiple layers of plywood to determine which round would have the most penetration. Both handguns and rifles were used along with pics of son shooting to prove he actually performed all aspects of the project. Lots of jealous kids at the science fair. :mrgreen: Wish we would have had something better than plywood but I was afraid using a pig would have gotten us in trouble with PETA. :biggrinjester:
Well like I was illuding to, those pictures could be mis-interpreted in other areas of the country...The comparison being any activity deemed dangerous by someone elses standards and might bring some heat in that parent's direction...not that it cold not be addressed in a mature and reasonable manner...

I personally believe that CPS, along with the IRS are inhierently evil...Their intent may be clear and acceptable to some, but there ARE plenty of examples of abuses that cause some to have a little heartburn about justifying their existance...

Re: We need to check your guns??

Or just put them behind the wheel...Snap a picture...Those are pretty cute sometimes...

Hey, BTW, who's kid (13-14 year old) was learing to fly (gliders) here in the forum???

That's why I stand by not posting things like this in social media, for whatever reason...Someone can very well make your life miserable for something as innocent as this...

Just shooting from the hip here...

Re: We need to check your guns??

Sounds like the guy in the story did everything right...

Rule of thumb...

When you live in an area of the country that somewhat demonstrates their distaste for private firearm possession or ownership, I would say that you can certainly be proud of your kid if they demostrate their understanding and handling skills with any type of firearm (in this case)...But I would take this as a lesson to NOT post pictures of that situation on any social media source...
