I am going to give my opinion....I'm only 29, but I'm old enough to know that parents should always do what's best for their children...so, saying that, I have to agree with Peanutsdad on this one...
How can ANY parent think that they are better than the other, when both are drug addicts or users? And, how can anyone think that placing children with drug addict parents is a better idea than foster care??? It doesn't make any sense....if MY children were in that situation, I would want them to be with a family that could give them a sense of security and warmth, not constant fear of me or my husband because we couldn't keep our heads on straight...that's NO life for any child, I don't care how much the parents love them...if you love them enough, you will do what's right for them...
As for the attacks on PD's conduct at work and so forth, I don't think that was necessary...the man makes a living saving lives, not destroying them, so why would his views on this issue be any different than what he does everyday??
EVERYONE is entitled to their honest opinions, no matter how much someone else might not like them...it's no reason to attack one's character.
