helmetCanada – The Oregon government is suing a Calgary mother for the cost of keeping her son in foster care for two years while she fought for his return to Canada. The boy, now 12, was visiting his stepfather in Oregon in 2008 when police there picked him up for not wearing his bike helmet. U.S. officials didn’t recognize the boy’s stepfather as a legal guardian, so he was sent to a foster home, setting off a long legal battle. A U.S. judge finally allowed him to return to live with his mother and younger sister in Calgary last month.  Full Article

    If they would do that in Pennsylvania, almost all of the kids would be in foster care.

    I have fond memories of growing up in a time where kids got to be kids without the fear of becoming wards of the state.

    My dad filled our childhoods with fun, adventure and laughter. But if he were raising us in this ‘nannystate’ culture, he’d be charged with child endangerment every other day.

    All 8 of his kids not only survived unscathed, but we’d all do it over again in a heartbeat!
