If every parent who gets drunk had their kids taken away from them, we'd spend the entire national budget on orphanages.
As a person in recovery (as in alcoholism) blackouts certainly come when you are drinking ALOT, too much and often. I am in no position to say DB is an alcoholic, but certainly people who only drink lightly and occasionally don't black out and lose their kids. Growing up in a home where my parents drank, was certainly harmful. If anyone here thinks that just because people get drunk with children in their home is ok and that it is a safe environment for two little boys to live in, I beg to differ with you. I am the last person to accuse anyone of doing anything to a child, because in this case, I'm not sure what happened, but the situation is questionable.

BBM: not in Missouri, and actually not in Texas either. I actually grew up in Missouri and there are plenty of public lands, and many of them are undeveloped.
If Lisa is still alive, she is in soimeone's home - not in a cornfield, woods, etc. We really do not want people searching someone's home. It would be a witch hunt for anyone who has a grudge against anybody.
They are in no kind of danger. There are cameras on them 24/7. Are you referring to Tina Porter? The only danger there was having to talk to someone other than each other about baby Lisa.I don't think they're going to Disney World. I think these people are in some kind of danger. They are moving them to a safe location.
Just so I don't confuse you, the acronym BEM stands for "bold emphasis mine"frankie,
bbm=bold by me

Getting drunk while caring for kids is not a good idea but it is hardly grounds for taking children away from their parents. I can't imagine the trauma and damage that would be caused by removing those boys from their family right now.
Once again I'm ready agree getting black out drunk in charge of children should be at the very least a huge societal cause for concern if not cause for intervention by the authorities. However, as stated on another thread, even the most normally assiduous of parents admit to drinking 'on the parental job' and unless and until something does happen to their children many, including professional childminders hired to babysit while parent go on a night out don't even think about the potential risks of leaving after the impaired parents come home.
The authorities aren't going to take steps unless a child is harmed or injured and yes, it can be argued that Lisa disappeared while her mom was drunk and incapable therefore that is harm or injury right there so maybe the authorities should act to protect the other kids - I don't know, I don't have the answers, I'm very torn. I just think that CPS won't intervene unless there is clear evidence of physical abuse or neglect and there doesn't appear to be any here. This case has certainly opened my eyes belatedly to things I did when my kids were little, no I never got blackout drunk but there were times when let's say I wasn't operating at 100% of cognisance so my attention wasn't what it should have been and have me thanking God no harm came to them because of my failure to think through properly what might have been.
New tweets in the MSM forum saying they were loading pillows and blankets. Hmmm.....
I don't know the answer to your questions, but my dearest hope is that there is a flurry of child custody documents flying in from the other bio parents.
lol, well I couldn't figure out the BBM for the longest time...I knew "bold" and "me"....derrr.I thought it was a typo, Ms. Sock Baby. :floorlaugh:
Really? I would hope that neither bio parent would have claim to the children. They both seem to want nothing to do with the children. ANY parent that will go years without any attempt to see their child doesn't deserve them and they are not a parent in any sense.
