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.

This is insane, the State needs, to understand that they are wrong to be causing such insanity in this child’s life, it isn’t the parents. The problem is the State is to cheap to hire more qualified family workers. the States Family Services Dept, should be charged with harassment !
People you better pay attention, they are coming after us, Americans like you and me, and if we don’t stand together to defend each other we deserve to end up losing all of our freedoms! Stop the stupidity, write about it, scream about it, take a stand!
