Well, color me curious! "brain, scramble" I like it! Think I'll use it in my next cartoon. Thanks for the idea,rsd!
This is what you, rsd1200, wrote above...
"Because he is charged with murder. They'll throw everything at them that they can. Sometimes, things don't stick when they get to court. They know that will likely stick b/c they have living proof. Idk how many 15 y.o and 19 y.o. would be split and children taken, if they charged every person in the land who had a relationship like theirs. Look closely at this region. They're just now cracking down on teachers who sleep with their students. That went on all the time when I was in school. Guys bragged, girls thought it was cool."
This was my reply to your comment:
They wouldn't have taken the child away from the mother. [Responding to the example that you gave in your comment.]
After reading my response, you, rsd1200, replied as follows:
"Well, no, brain scramble. Grandparents usually raise them if they're that young anyway, or help a WHOLE bunch."
Rather than name calling, I'll just point out that you mentioned nothing but "splitting up the family" in your example, which is to what I replied.
