• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And what background do you have?

Not a legal one, but I at least pay attention to what abuse survivors have been through.

Really though - people tend not to report crimes if it will result in them getting in trouble themselves. Basic stuff. That's why you don't tend to have abusers advertising the fact that they abuse.

Wow, because nothing encourages people to report abuse in families like a potential charge of child neglect.

What more stunning ideas from your background of legal training do you have?

We can stop well short of that and just head back into the ways things already suck.

Report the only one in the 'family' with a paycheck and he goes to jail and the rest end up on the street or if lucky in a shelter. At the very best worse off in the short term. At the worst dead on the street.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot, there are worse things then dying, and a lot of those happen to the helpless on the streets.
