I agree with you, wouldn't it be wonderful? But it will never happen. Years ago, I remember people were wanting to force women on welfare to use Norplant. (5 year birth control) On paper it looked great, in the real world, not much....

Your right, but forced classes could be a little different. Everyone who gives birth could be issued a licenses, which must be updated every year, showing that they have completed there classes.

or at the least, to raise that child.

the reason there are license is simple....money.....a drivers license is also to keep track of people and to assure they know how to drive....and having a kid is a personal thing whereas driving, fishing, and hunting are considered ' privileges '

Probably the best question I've ever seen in here. Julie, I wish I had an answer that can satisfy you. While you have to show proficiency to drive a car or truck to get a license, even then I'm not sure how some people get those. Same thing with children. It keeps me up at night, too. This is no answer, though. I'm answering this so that I can see and come back to this question and see if somebody can answer this question at all. Best answer will get me to instantly follow you.

Wow Adam, this has given me a thought as well, read my response, and then add this to it.
Everyone who gives birth is issued a license, which must be renewed each year. Renewal will be based on completion of an extensive parenting class. Now that's not to say that our jails may become over crowed with violators, but may help to keep many abused children safe and alive.

I truly hope I haven't done something that's upset you. My husband says I try to help to much, and he can't figure out how I still make the time after working all day! What can I say, I'm a big ball of mush!!
Report as
No, you're cool. I'm just thinking about your stance on this subject. It's cool! Lol
Report as
Thanks, it really is something to think about. What if this could be put into place? Who knows, but it sure would be worth the effort and hard work to put it into place even if it saved one child from abuse or death.
What are your thoughts?

I'm not sure how to answer. But I back you on whatever you want to do.

Oh shucks, I thought you were looking for that awesome answer. I tried to come up with the best possible one that I could think of.

Sorry about that. My head is elsewhere. Just thinking about my special girl. :) But I still back you on whatever you'd like to do.

Wow, Adam, that's great!!! I'm so happy for you, that you found someone special !!!! She might not know it yet, but she's seeing a awesome guy!!!!
Report as
Oh, she knows! You might have even run into her on this site. Though, I can't tell you who...lol

Julie, you interest me in your wisdom! This is probably one of the most well thought out question anyone could possibly ask.
In fact, so well thought out, that I think you should write to your state senator asking the same question. I'm sure it's a question that will have many scratching their heads.
With the rate of child abuse on the highest rise ever, what a breath of fresh air it would be to have this passed as a law. That anyone thinking about or that's had a child to go through extensive parenting classes, and up date those skills every year, oh my gosh, it could be the answer to prayers that this could some how help cut, even possibly eliminate child abuse all together and force parents to be responsible for their actions, and become responsible loving parents. The children of our world need to be protected not hurt, they need love and guidance to become productive loving adults themselves.

thank you.I wish that could happen! if someone is responsible enough to have a child, kepping a license should be a piece of cake!
Report as
Well Julie, making then attend the classes every year would be the hard part, but I think it would work.
Report as
at least untill a certain age. I mean,you can't even have a drink without proveing your age!!

you dont... you are not the all capital letter person on your berth certificate... your physical/flesh and blood body does not need any licence to do any of those things and governments trick you into saying you are a corporation with the same name as you... just spelt with all caps. remember your sovereign and free... dont let the state fool you!
