Next it will be you get a fine if you take your overweight kid in a fast food restuarant.
Where will they draw the line?
I heard they want to make you get a permit every time you want to Bar B Que in your own backyard. |
I agree with you to some point on this. The no-smoking in the car thing I think is overboard. However, the ban against foster parents smoking in the home, I agree. Children are placed in a foster home with the expectations that they will be provided the safest of care and environment. So many kids have different allergies that if a child with asthma or something like that was placed in a smokers home, they'd still be affected, even if the foster parents temporarily stopped smoking in the home. They are looking after someone else's children......and no not always because the children's parents abused them.......they should not be allowed to smoke around them. This is my opinion.
I view a foster home no different than a daycare in this aspect........I wouldn't send my children to a daycare where the providers smoked......why should other's kids be sent to a foster home where they can smoke.
Again, only my opinion.
