Saving the babies? That's a tough one. My focus ahs been on punishing miscreants. Imho having a strong judicial arm will assist America's parents in keeping their kids in line. I don't know what to do about bad kids born to well-meanung parents. Except send the message early&often that there is a line below which society just won't ignore bad behavior.

Penni, I agree with you and Newt on taking babies away from horrible parents much sooner. I am really not very liberal about stuff like that. I think the system which would evolve to do that needs to be very fair, however. For example, issues like the religious beliefs, or lack thereof, or the sexual identities of the parents shouldn't figure into the equation--only actual neglect and abuse. I don't think orphanages are a really good solution, however, not nearly as much as faster, simpler and less expensive adoptions. I do think orphanages and foster homes are a toss up as to which is worse, overall. Okay, I am getting up from the computer right now to go attend to my lovely, filthy home. I have a few minutes to work a miracle!
