I signed a professional-sounding note of disapproval because the state probably wouldn't accept: "Not just 'no', but 'FUCK NO!'"
The nerve of some people...
Thank you for blocking child neglect.

(6,212 posts)Every time I hear someone is anti-vaxxer i get upset. My father had a case of the measles as a child. It was before there was a vaccine. He lost most of his hearing because of it. Why would parents willingly expose their children to that possible fate.

My current concern is ensuring that foster children are not at risk of infection from their foster parents.
