When Europeans first got to the Americas they wrote back accounts of how native women would often nurse baby deer or even puppies in order to have them as little pets. This is probably the origins of animal and human contacts historically speaking; but it happened earlier in Europe so was forgotten by the 14/15 century.<BR/><BR/>Anyway men must have figured out how they could make money from it and took it over. <BR/><BR/>Now it's called herding and women are not connected with its origins in anyway. Every documentary ever made about it appears to show a man with a fully grown wolf and this is supposed to be the origins of animal/human contact. Like a fully grown wolf would ever befriend a man.NYMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762350054432716749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740475.post-42439430265729608702008-06-12T20:23:00.000-04:002008-06-12T20:23:00.000-04:00Silverside, and a lot of moms lose custody of thei...Silverside, and a lot of moms lose custody of their kids to the fathers this way too. And of course, said fathers contributed to the problem to begin with because they weren't paying their child support. This happened to my friend, and her ex didn't even have a job. He lives off whatever girlfriend he has for the moment, or his mother. They took my friend's kids because she was "too poor" to keep them even though she was working two jobs to make ends meet, and they gave them to a dead beat who survives by living off of other women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740475.post-71856720231421946722008-06-11T06:20:00.000-04:002008-06-11T06:20:00.000-04:00A lot of what goes under the rubric of child "abus...A lot of what goes under the rubric of child "abuse" is really "maltreatment," which in turn is another name for poverty. You can be accused of "maltreatment" just because you don't have health insurance for your kids (in a country that does not make health insurance a right) or not having "enough" food at home. Doesn't matter if you were laid off and waiting for the food pantry to open or whether you spent the grocery money on booze. The authorities see it as the same. In NYC especially, a lot of moms lose their kids to foster care this way. <BR/><BR/>silversideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740475.post-22648720012927744562008-06-07T11:17:00.000-04:002008-06-07T11:17:00.000-04:00BTW, just because she left the state doesn't mean ...BTW, just because she left the state doesn't mean the obligation won't catch up with her. Actually it's been made a federal crime (with a longer sentence) to move out of state to avoid paying child support.<BR/><BR/>So at any point in her future, she could be picked up and jailed by the federal authorities. Not to mention that she can never visit her child either because to do so could risk arrest.<BR/><BR/>This is the brainchild of Lyndon B. Johnson. It has been refined over the years by others who followed after him, but its original intent is his. As usual, the endless greed of men to blame...NYMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762350054432716749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740475.post-5596885313382257702008-06-06T22:42:00.000-04:002008-06-06T22:42:00.000-04:00I am reminded uncomfortably of the sister of a fri...I am reminded uncomfortably of the sister of a friend of mine... After being stripped of custody by her ex in the aftermath of the custody battle when she had been hosp for treatment for depression (don't think he didn't use THAT against her!), she has now fled the state of TX when a snowballing series of financial catastrophes left HER unable to pay child support to her very-well-off ex.
