It is considered confidential and PII, and should be controlled in that manner. I agree fully that they screwed up, but unfortunately, the gov organization in charge of information security (NSA - communcations, DISA - computers) isn't allowed to tell them to get their act together.

As far as I know, the NSA isn't involved too much in the investigation. I do expect heads will roll over this though, it is just a matter of getting to the bottom of it.

Sure, you have the right to bear arms, it is getting them off the bear that is usually the issue.

I am against most forms of gun control. The gun control we currently have is generally suitable for purpose, though according to the constitution, "congress shall make no law" is pretty clear.

Having sensible restrictions (no felons, no serious mental illnesses) makes sense, also, requiring a safety course before the first purchase, and maybe every 5 years makes good sense. Beyond that, it is a constitutional issue, congress is legally not allowed to make ANY laws restricting gun ownership, so the Dems should be happy with what they have and that we don't take that away.

I can't say I have ever seen a camera on a TV to make sure you are watching the ads. please show me evidence of this.

Considering for years advertising has been tanking, it must be me that is causing it according to you, but I don't know anything.

Where am I speaking of companies being motivated by greed?

I am not in any way saying that CPS is right in this case, I am saying that I wouldn't let a 6 year old under my care do the same, as I don't believe a 6 year old can be mature enough. I don't make decisions for this case, and don't believe the state should be making any decisions in this case as it isn't their business unless there is a true case of neglect.

Have I said anything to this child's parents or the state about my opinions? I didn't tell you or them how to raise your kids, I talked about my personal opinion of the incident, which was meant as an aside to the statement of

The parents are mostly winning after two times having their kids taken away.

The parents are winning their case against the police and CPS, what more do you want? I am saying I don't agree with the way they are raising their kids, but I'm not the one calling the police on a young child walking the streets without supervision (hint, I live at least an hour from where this is all going down, not next door).

I can't find any statistics to back it, but it would be my assumption that girls are more likely to be abducted than boys. Searching for "kidnapping statistics by sex" picks up a confluence of kidnapping and sex offenders lists, not the sex of the victim. This could be a failing in my choice of terms though.
