Victory in Texas for 'Free-Range' Kids, Homeschoolers, and Good Parents Everywhere

Megan Fox-Opinion : May 21, 2021  PJMedia.com

The new Texas law is scheduled to take effect in September of 2021.

airlift[PJMedia.com] There is nothing dumber or more sinister than Child Protective Services (CPS) stealing kids who are simply playing outside unsupervised and having what anyone born before 1980 would call "a totally normal childhood." CPS regularly puts families through judicial Hell by removing healthy kids from parents who consider themselves "free-range kid" advocates. The idea that a movement has to even exist labeling the normal human experience of discovering the world through play is bad enough. But imagine fighting for years in court because you allowed your eight-year-old to play at a neighborhood park alone, a thing that all of us did with no interference by the nanny state for generations.

Texas has passed a law making it illegal for CPS to claim that normal childhood experiences constitute "neglect." The bill covers more than kids playing alone. In fact, it covers many of the abuses that CPS has been getting away with for years. The bill makes it illegal for the state to take children for the following reasons:

• Homeschooling
• Poverty
• A parent charged with a non-violent crime
• A parent providing THC to child with a prescription (yes—you read that right. CPS regularly takes children from parents who were instructed by medical professionals to treat them with prescribed marijuana.)
• Declining immunizations for matters of conscience or religion
• Allowing children to play unsupervised while engaged in normal childhood activities

The bill also amends the definition of neglect to mean "immediate danger" instead of a supposed or imagined "substantial risk" of danger. This is a major sticking point with many wrongful child removals. In many cases that I've investigated, CPS often takes children without a signed warrant using "exigent circumstances" which is supposed to mean "immediate danger" or loss of life or limb but is twisted to mean whatever social services want it to mean...
