Neutrality dispute
How can we have Mother redirect here but have a separate article for Father? --Usgnus 00:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's Helicoptor's fault. Georgia guy 00:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Because father was much less stubby than mother, that's why mother is here, but father has it's own article. I redirected mother here, because everything that was there was already duplicated here. Helicoptor 03:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- You are violating WP:NPOV by introducing systemic gender bias. Better to leave the Mother article alone and remove the Mother content from this article. --Usgnus 14:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Broader use?
The Java (technology?) use of "parent" must not be encyclopedia worthy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alien4 (talk • contribs) 02:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

Child abuse
I originally reverted Ringtail's addition, regarding the encouragement of child abuse in Canada (even though there are laws outlawing this). However, I have brought it back, but with a "fact" tag. Maybe Ringtail can explain more in the child abuse article, without getting personal. -- azumanga 02:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Parents abuse children in canada, governments encourage it
Source: Windsor Star.
Last June, a man who was abused by his parents and taken into the Children's Aid Society of Windsor when he was a child found out that several of the employees there were arrested for having and distributing child pornography at the CAS. He became so enraged that nothing was done to protect these children from supposedly "good" child social workers, that he filled up large propane canisters, placed them in the back of his pickup truck (a red Ford F-150), and drove his truck into the front of the building, destroying the front face of it, killing himself. News stations such as WJBK-TV, WDIV-TV, and WTOL-TV in addition to the Windsor stations reported this. The distraught man's actions resulted in the CAS being indefinitely shut down. The Ontario Provincial Police has refused to comment on this story whenever they are asked (again, windsor star is the source of information).
The Dalton McGuinty Government has also issued no statements on this case, and has repeatedly ignored requests for inquiries into the province's child services and social services ministries, much to the disgust of voting taxpayers. Further reports from the Windsor Star have placed Canada directly behind the United States and England as worst nations for children (USA is the worst, england is second worst, canda is third). This is not surprising, considering Canada's complete lack of regard for child safety, such as in the Myles Neuts case (a child from Chatham, Ontario who was hung up on a bathroom door hook by bullies, ignored by teachers, and found unconscious hours later. He died two weeks later in a hospital), and with the Roman Catholic School Board of Ontario continuing its apartheid-style discrimination against students of colour or those with special needs or Autism (i have been through this myself. I think that counts as a verified source, but if not, i can get a few hundred others to vouch for me).
Though Canada DOES claim to have laws banning child abuse, the laws in reality are either not enforced, countered out by local (town/city) laws, or by corrupt police departments and child welfare agencies that don't care about the constituents they claim to defend and protect.

I hope this provides enough detail. I don't want to go into any further detail, as it disturbs me too much. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 03:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
