Layaway Kids
Parents are you tired of
taking care of your children? Do you have better things to do than
to sit home and care for your children's needs? Do you want to party?
Do you need a break? Do you have better things to do with your money
than spend it on boring things like good food and clothing for children?
Well help is here now! Just
put your kids on layaway!
Its FREE and easy. Just drop
them off at your parents house. Grandma and grandpa will spend the
time, money and love to see that your kids have the best of everything.
They will change stinky diapers, wash dirty bottles, and rock screaming
babies, clean up their messes and do anything that needs to be done.
On the Layaway Plan, you never
have to worry about your children! Grandparents will buy them what
they need and take them where they need to go. Never again will they
be late for school because you were too tired to get up and get them
ready after that party last night. You can buy that new car,
fashionable clothes or just spend your money on junk food and CDs.
Your money is yours to do with as you wish. The Grandparents of your
layaway children will buy the shoes, school clothes, and toys. They
pay for dancing lessons, tutors, braces, and doctors visits. If you
have a bad day you can just kick back and relax. No more thinking
of feelings other than your own! With your children on layaway you
have no one to think about but yourself. No one there to bother you!
If your kids have a bad day its not your problem. Grandma and Grandpa
will be there to wipe their tears, calm their fears, and give them
cookies and milk. If they are sick, Grandma and Grandpa will gently
wipe their fevered brow, hold their head, and help them to take their
medicine, and walk the floor with them all night.
Grandma and Grandpa will go
to all the dance recitals, soccer games, school conferences, doctors
and dentist appointments, and other activities your child is involved
in. This leaves you free to pursue your own interests.
You are Young! You need the
freedom to live your life and be all that you can be. You need to
find yourself. Its Ok your parents are old. They have lived their
lives and have nothing better to do than to care for children. If
they have not found themselves by now they never will.
The best part of the Layaway Plan
is your property is always there for you. Unlike most store layaway
plans you can visit your property any time you like. You can take
the children out any time you like, play with them and then bring
them back whenever you feel like it. Children can be fun at times
like Christmas and Birthday parties. You can dress them up and show
them off and take credit for how cute and well behaved they are. After
all you brought them into the world. If they make a mistake or behave
badly you can explain to others it is because of the bad influence
of the grandparents who have been caring for them. When you are done
sowing your oats, when the party is over or becomes boring, your children
will be there waiting.
Anytime you like you can
cancel the Layaway Plan and reclaim your children. By law they
are your property and the grandparent have to give them back. By virtue
of your ability to create a child you reign supreme in the courts
of this land. It does not matter if you have abused them, abandoned
and neglected them for years. All you have to do is go into a courtroom
and show them that you want your children back and might be able to
parent them. Your rights as a parent supersede those of your children
and their grandparents.
The Layaway Plan is free, easy and
best of all legal. Every court in the land supports it. You are the
parent and you have your rights!
Children Are Not Property
Children are not property.
They deserve a safe and stable life. They should not be put on layaway
indefinitely. The Children and the Grandparents and Special Others who
provide kinship care for the children should not be kept in limbo forever.
Absent, irresponsible and unreliable parents must be held accountable
for their inaction.
The Adoption and Safe Families Act
signed into law by President Clinton sets firm time limits on how
long a child may stay in foster care before being freed for adoption.
It states that if a child has been in foster care for 15 out of the
most recent 22 months the state must file a petition to terminate the
parents rights, find and approve adoptive homes for these children.
This law excludes children that are being cared for by relatives and
are not in the foster care system. The reason for this exclusion is
that sometimes the relatives caring for the children are not in a position
to adopt and would lose custody of the child forever if it were to apply
to them. This is a good law and it has helped many children have safe
and permanent homes.
There ought to be another law! 5.5
million children are being raised in grandparent headed families. One
third of those children live in homes with no parent present. These
children fall through the cracks and live in limbo without the security
that comes with having a permanent home. Forever is a promise that kinship
care givers are afraid to give to the children in their care. They know
that no matter how many years a parent has been absent and unreliable,
that parent can come back, prove only minimal competence to reclaim
their children from what in most cases is the only stable home they
ever knew.
New laws covering the rights of
children whom neither live with their parents nor are under the umbrella
of the foster care system is needed. We need a law that will protect
the rights of children being well cared for by relatives who are not
able to adopt them while enabling the grandparents and other relatives
to adopt if they choose and are qualified to adopt. Children being cared
for by relatives should be accorded the same rights as foster children.
If a grandparent or other relative wishes to and is qualified
to adopt, the same time limits should apply. If the parents fail to
rehabilitate themselves within a reasonable amount of time the rights
of those parents must be terminated and allow a qualified grandparent
or other relative who have been caring for the children in their absence
to adopt those children. Only then can children, grandparents and the
special others who are caring for the children depend on the promise
of FOREVER.
