The state of New Jersey has threatened to take a son away from his parents and place him up for adoption after an incident where the boy twirled a pencil like a gun in class.
13-year-old Ethan Chaplin was initially threatened with suspension when a classmate stated Ethan had ‘twirled his pencil like a gun’. After receiving media attention the school backed off.
However, after the incident seemed to cool off, the family received a letter from the “New Jersey’s Department of Child Protection and Permanency and Department of Children and Families”.
“I received a letter from them saying they had found an incident of abuse or neglect regarding Ethan because I refused to take him for psychological evaluation,” the father stated.
To appease the state and end the insanity the father took Ethan in to see a social worker, where blood and urine were drawn and no behavioral problem was found.
But the state was still not happy and demanded more testing – threatening this time to take the child and place him up for adoption.

I am beginning to thinl that a lot of Americans must have chased parked cars in their youth and are no making the rest of us suffer due to the resulting brain damage. Just goes to show…you can’t fix stupid – not even with duct tape.

We are losing our rights and freedom people. Be very afraid.
