plenty of kids to adopt who need homes, same with pets.

you see, when wife and i decided to have another baby (hopefully a girl) , i proposed that we adopt a baby girl, but when we faced all the paper work and procedure, in the end, we had to drop the whole idea.
im not saying im glad we canceled adoption, but that resulted in us having a butifull baby girl of our own

she is 7 now.

it scares me to see what i see almost daily on the street, and worst thing now curently is leaving kids in the car on the sun.
insane, but ppl still do it

In a few years me and the mrs plan on looking into adopting/helping out teens. I dont know about the level of paper work yet, kinda sucks though. Almost feels like the system wants a tons of people being produced who are exploitable vs the paperwork being entirely to protect the kids. Just a guess, tin foil hat off.

True it is, that some people shouldn't have kids. I don't have them since i can't afford to have them , but i'd be really happy to have 2 atm.

i wonder what the statistics on heterosexual couples that adopt kids vs. gay.. i'm willing to bet that there are more gay couples willing to adopt. it's one of the reasons why i support gays and gay marriage.

Well, how else is a gay couple supposed to get a kid?

well, you know they do have biological children right? i mean, a gay dude still has a penis and creates sperm.

he can place his sperm in his husband in any manner he sees fit, but the two of them are not going to conceive a child.

i'm sure there are couples who artificially impregnate other women and raise their kids as a couple.

Natural selection.

Nature get rid of those who are deem "inflexible" and "unfit".

et rich or die tryi

I personally think that all people should be forced to take a test before being legally able to have children, if they have children without the test they would be put in care.
It would stop alot of child abuse and mistreatment by only allowing people who are willing to learn how to become a good guardian.

People (not all, but a lot) do not make enough money to survive let alone pay for child care. But.....you DO NOT chain your child up!!! This child is no an animal. I don't really care what this man's excuses will be, because it's not about him, it's about the child and there is not one single reason why anyone would chain this little guy up!! Not being able to afford child care is no excuse (if that is even his excuse) period!

The parents should plan before deciding to have a child. And use preventive method if necessary.

No kidding. Even if you think you can't afford preventive methods, just remember that they're less expensive than raising a child. And if you don't want to pay for condoms or a sterilization procedure, just don't have sex.

This is what \happens when people make babies with different women, men, etc, move on with their lives when the last relationship doesn't work out and make new kids with the new boyfriend/girlfriend. There are consequences to being selfish and putting your kids way behind the next phase of your "love life." So a child of 6 gets chained to a bed with new girlfriend and more kids living there. Who knows who mom is or if she is fit to care for the kid..... you right ,just because you CAN have children doesn't mean you SHOULD.

You need a license to drive a car, but not to have a child. There is so much of this disgusting abuse I am so sickened by it. Chain this man up and let the other prisoners know he is in for child abuse.

How awful, I would never do that to one of my pet cats or dogs, much less to a child, I mean what if there was a fire and the poor little boy was trapped in it. Awful, just awful.

2. Up to one-third of all sex crimes against children are committed against boys (as opposed to girls).

It's actually around a fifth. 1 in 5 girls are the victim of abuse, compared to 1 in 20 boys. But that's irrelevant. What's the assumption/error that you're making here? Anyone spot it?

You're assuming that you are homosexual if you commit a sex crime against a boy. That is simply not the case. But you wouldn't know that because you are cherry picking statistics you like from a homophobic hate site. The simple fact is that most adult men who molest boys do not show any sexual interest in adult men.

I'm not even touching on how you have fallen into the sampling bias heffalump trap.

Thanks, I was just gonna question the statistical errors, especially the point in bold, but you explained it better than I ever could.

There's a great book - Bad Science by Ben Goldacre - which talks about the problems with health/science reporting in the media, and how statistics are misrepresented by people wanting to push a certain story/agenda. Highly recommended.

The author did a TED talk as well - http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_battling_bad_science
It's slightly off topic, but I think it's important that people see through these misleading statistics.

6-year-old Utah boy chained to bed daily. http://news.yahoo.com/police-6-old-utah-boy-chained-bed-daily-191510221.html

What about the woman in California that was arrested for leaving her child in a car save so she could go to an interview she used all resources and still no one would help watch her child. Some people have no other resources. but at the sametime were in the hell was the live n girlfriend and she did know how could she not. Chaining a child is abuse, were is the mother or grandparents. Not the whole story.

I liked the title and you are 101% right, as I always said, being a good father or mother is not easy, it's a very difficult issue specially when the age gap is large and still you need to hear from you son or daughter and to accept their point of view depending on their age.
