Brickbat: You Can't Put a Price on Family

Police in Italy have arrested the mayor of Bibbiano and 17 other people including social workers, other politicians, and doctors and psychologists. They say the group forged evidence of parental abuse, including "brainwashing" children into saying their parents had abused them, in order to remove the children from their homes and sell them to other people.

It takes a village.
To steal a child?
It's always amazing that when these things come to light, they are always so fucked up and blatantly evil. Makes you wonder how many more 'subtle' or 'smarter' people are getting away with the same thing.

Who would want to buy a child conditioned to point a finger at his guardians?
It costs extra, but you have the deprogramming option along with the undercoat.
They install that TruCoat at the factory.
Doesn't stop the dealer from offering other "services".
See? And you people scoff at the idea that human trafficking is even a thing. But it's not a new thing.
"We people" scoff at the idea that every sex worker is a victim of human trafficking.
"We people" also scoff at the idea that those who want to use slavery (human trafficking is a terrible phrase) as an excuse to further erode personal freedoms should have any credibility.
Spot on
Trafficking by a government entity no less.
I see an evolutionary (culture wars) arms race coming on!
Those of us who can afford it, must send our children to private schools, where our children can be intensely trained in exactly HOW to resist (disbelieve and disobey) authorities who try to brainwash them into lying, and turning their parents in for being abusive! Complete with intense and stressful "simulations" (training sessions)!
Next stage in the evolutionary arms race, Government Almighty will try to catch us (and bust us for) conduction these child-stressing "simulations", which we had to conduct to ward off Government Almighty in the first place! Ugghhh!!!
AKA, teaching / training your kids in the TRUE ways of Government Almighty, and teaching them that Government Almighty does NOT love them dearly, is / will be defined by Government Almighty as child abuse! So there's no way we can win! Roll over and play dead!
So relax and learn to enjoy it! Let me now lead us all in Praises of Government Almighty:
Scienfoology Song… GAWD = Government Almighty’s Wrath Delivers
Government loves me, This I know,
For the Government tells me so,
Little ones to GAWD belong,
We are weak, but GAWD is strong!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
My Nannies tell me so!
GAWD does love me, yes indeed,
Keeps me safe, and gives me feed,
Shelters me from bad drugs and weed,
And gives me all that I might need!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
My Nannies tell me so!
DEA, CIA, KGB,
Our protectors, they will be,
FBI, TSA, and FDA,
With us, astride us, in every way!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
Yes, Guv-Mint loves me!
My Nannies tell me so!
You can put a price on family. I have. So far, unfortunately, no offers for mine.
For my family it is at least a million per relationship; at least that is what the multiple civil suits agreed to.
Try a tattoo $.
Gosh. What will Enlightened Europe do next? We should be more like them.
This sounds like a bad movie.
The more you give a government power, the more things like this will happen to you.
Thread winner!!
Come to think of it, this is the universal thread winner.
When the mayor does it, it's not illegal!!!!
