A Mom's Rights ( or a Dad's)

I think that there are not enough laws out there protecting parents who are protecting their children.

If a parent sees the need to take action in order to protect their children from possible harm, whether it be accidental or intended.

When a parent enters the home with a bad attitude , intoxicated, or just plainly wanting to fight, the other parent should be able to protect their children from someone in a rage, no matter what they have to do.

I know of people who were protecting their children from their drunk parent ( they could or probably would ) stumble and drop the baby or hurt it, even if it is not on purpose.

Of course no one in that shape should try to handle a baby, it's just not safe, but when in a drunken rage, I guess people don't think about that.

Problem is, the people doing the protecting, are the ones who ended up jailed. The children left home with a completly drunk parent to 'try' to care for them.

If any one is in a situation like this, where they feel their children are in danger should be able to do whatever is necessary to protect the children without fear of prosecution.

Prosecuted for protecting your own children? You may say. I tell you definetly.

So, to sum all of this up, parents need to be protected, not prosecuted when the are in the unfortuane situation of having to protect their children. For whatever reason, and by any means that they see fit at that moment in time.
