Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>I don't even know how to react to that one. The state obviously failed in its care of this woman. That is where I would start. Why is this woman seemingly lost in the system?<<<

What they fail to mention which will explain much of this is who was recently appointed head of Florida's DCF (Department of Children and Family). Jeb Bush, not to be outdone by brother George drew from the nation's pool of extreme conservative Christian crackpots and decided on Jerry Reiger from the backwoods of Oklahoma. Here are some of Mr. Reiger's credentials that impressed Jeb Bush:

"Reiger rails against gay people, as founder of the Family Research Council. He declares that "man's authority over his wife is delegated to him by God," and states that spanking children to the point of causing "bruises or welts" is Biblically sanctioned. Child advocates point out that such actions would constitute child abuse under current Florida statutes."
