How dare you raise s baby without Big Brother coming into your house all of the time checking up on things.
Then they see a dirty diaper not tossed yet and then take your baby to be raised by the government.
Oregon Could Become the First State to Require In-Home Surveillance of Newborn Babies
they can't help the homeless, how will they help babies? too fking funny, the useless left at it again. deal with it you stupid fks.
They can't properly monitor the children who are actually wards of the state already. Why are we supposed to expand their authority to all children?
Here’s the thing. These programs aren’t to “monitor” women and their newborns. These are visiting nurses. My daughter got a lot of helpful information from her local program.
I don’t live in her city and she was new there was well when her first was born. The visiting RNs got her help with breast feeding issues, as well as pointing her to local resources like the Early Years Centre which has play groups,story time, kinder gym and a p
This thread is totally wrong.
This is not infant monitoring in any way that violates privacy.
This is just mandatory post birth examinations, which is essential to catch subtle health problems.
This is EXACTLY what was always required back it the 1950s.
Yeah, that’s why we got a pediatrician. And no, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hoodrat, an Oragon peckerwood ho, or an illegal alien mom on Medicaid, a nurse who isn’t a doctor or some welfare worker who is not a doctor doesn’t need to go into peoples homes and make sure they are taking care of their children. Well, I take that back, the three classes of people I mentioned may need that. I mean, if they are on welfare they don’t really have any business making babies to begin with.
These people are not going into homes to "make sure they are taking care of children". They are going into homes to answer new parents questions, provide resources or assistance where necessary, and generally make sure eveyone is doing OK.
When my older children were born, we were kept in hospital for a week during which time, the nurses monitored how the mothers were doing in caring for our children. Whether breastfeeding mothers were getting a good latch, whether the newborn showed signs of jaundice, or other health issues, and first time mothers were given child care classes during that week, including infant CPR.
Now, they send new mothers and their children home within 24 hours. My youngest daughter went to the hospital, had her son, and was home in time to tuck her one year old into bed that night. The hospital sent out the visiting nurse within 48 hours, to make sure they were both fine, and there were no complications. That follow up visit on her first delivery, had revealled a touch of jaundice, for her daughter, which was immediately dealth with, and which my daughter wasn't even aware of, at the time. New mother and all.
Like I said. Conservatives don't want to spend any money on poor kids, once they're born.
