It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. Taking your sick child to the doctor to help them get better, only to be accused of causing those injuries yourself. And as if those heinous accusations aren’t awful enough, now the state is getting involved. You’re going to be investigated, accused, possibly charged with a crime. Some well meaning…
Welcome back and thanks for joining us again for the wrap up of this discussion about the child welfare system and the unfair persecution of impoverished families.

Wait, what? A young teen to get married in Michigan? Since when can young teenagers get married in Michigan?

Whether or not to vaccinate your kids – it’s a debate almost as heated as abortion and whether or not the current President should be in office. Welcome back to our discussion on this controversial topic. However, we’re not actually taking a stand on one side or the other here (that’s up to you!). Rather,…
