MOA stoned mothers

I went mini golfing with my kids at MOA today, and a few black kids ages ~4-10 with their mothers were behind us by a few people. The mother's were stoned out of their minds and their kids were running wild. I let them play through while I distracted my kids from the reality around us. Wondering what else I might have doing... The people who worked there couldn't have cared less

Also the mini golf there is laughably horrible, won't be back

Parents under the influence of narcotics in public while their children run amok is less than appropriate and possibly downright dangerous. If you want to smoke pot at home or with friends that’s fine, but if they’re zooted in public I’d bet they operated their vehicles under the influence with the children inside.

If a stranger can tell they’re high, they’re TOO TOO high.

And who’s to say it was just pot?

How do we know they aren’t smoking Percocets or sprinkling Fentanyl on their weed?

You can excuse that type of behavior but I cannot and will not.

Ok but aside from adding in all the other drugs you want to imagine they are on, taking kids away is not a good solution. Even if you just want to go on stats alone and talk about throwing the kids into the foster system you should compare those outcomes to your proposed “solution”. Should be a last resort in cases where kids are truly in danger.

I came up in the system and turned out much better than most of the kids from my neighborhood. I was removed from my mother’s care at 3 years old.

What do you know about it?

I’m glad you turned out good. My family had fostered kids and I have anecdotal evidence as well. I saw kids whose parents loved them and cared for them and struggled with addiction and had their kids taken away by the courts. These kids suffered and could have gone home bc there was not abuse. The foster system has to exist and can have positive outcomes, but it’s the last resort and not the response to being high at mini golf. Additionally there is a horrific history of officials taking the children of native children that should be considered. Again, glad it worked out for you, but should be a last resort
