How do you tell somebody, 'You need to feed your children’?"

Ok, look at that title..."How do you tell somebody, 'You need to feed your children’?"

That was not asked by an employee being trained to go into a home suspected of child abuse or mistreatment of a child. It was asked by Reggie Lloyd, director of South Carolina's State Law Enforcement Division. The director of the law enforcement division of an entire state. Let's look at the quote in its entirety...

"We can’t prevent everything. How do you tell somebody, 'You need to feed your children’?"

Aren't there laws about child abuse Mr. State Law Enforcement Director? Isn't starvation a form of abuse, Mr. Law Enforement Director? Are even prisoners of war, terrorists, or mass murderers allowed to be starved? No. No! NO!

So why should some parents be allowed to not feed their children?!

It's disgusting that the Director of Law Enforcement can't tell parents; "You have to feed your children" - almost as disgusting as letting your child starve - because that passivity is allowing parents to decide to not feed their children.

That's twigi!
