" all these parents being all strung out!!! they need an outpatient center that the courts can send them to so they can kick the habit. and its not just a habit. its a taste they develop the longer they use. in hanford with the jails always being overcrowded and most of the users getting out on prop 36, they dont need a prop. they need medical/clinical support. then they should have to take and successfully pass a parenting class. local churches offer them. one for sure that offers them is Koinoina Christian Fellowship on hfd-arm road. and at the same time they can find spiritual help. i say...our judges and the community should propose such a treatment as this!

" "But, even the small part she had to endure makes me fee guilty" MAKES YOU FEEL GUILTY? That statement does not qualify for taking responsibility. A better statement would be "...I am myself and only me guilty of putting her through all she has had to endure." Keep attending your classes. This whole drug and alcohol thing makes me furious. Wake up people, you elected to do drugs and drink and we the tax payers get to pay for your choices! I think when someone looses their childred to the courts because of their own reckless lifestyle the parents should be sterilized and not put any more children in the system. "

Hanford Meth Capital wrote on Sep 23, 2007 12:15 PM:
" Hanford has been the Meth capital for years, what is law enforcement doing about it, answer nothing. Why? Kings County law enforcement has a terrible reputation regarding drugs. Why? Because they are looking the other way, every high school student can tell you who is using and who is dealing. Obviously DARE is a complete waste of money. The elected members of law enforcement, i.e., sheriff, judges & DA, are not doing what they were elected to do. It is time that we taxpayers elect honest individuals to those positions. Remember that in the next election! "

" I heard recently, that Kings County Drug Task Force has only a three working officers and is completely understaffed now more than ever! Lemoore Police, California Highway Patrol and Corcoran Police don't put an officer in the task force at all. Kings County seems to be loosing there fight on drugs as you can tell with the early kicks from the jail. SHERIFF JORDAN and CHIEFS, you promise a war on drugs, without an army how do you expect to fight? "

" im not sure you are fully informed. if you only knew the truth. some departments dont have an officer to put in the task force because they barely have the personnel to handle patrol. the majority of the county population isnt willing to pony up a fraction of a percent in additional taxes to pay their law enforcement better or build a bigger jail. dont blame those who arent in control. the war on drugs is being lost because the penalties for drug use and drug sales are ridiculous. drug dealers are regularly being sentenced to CRC. a 6 year prison sentence get dropped to 1 year of rehab jail. FOR SELLING DRUGS. i bet if america adopted radical punishments for drugs, like public whippings and limb removal, we wouldnt have a problem. of course i am being facetious but i hope you see the point. with no significant punishment for such a harmful crime, there will be no end to the crime. if a murderer received an immediate sentence of torture and death, rather than 25 years of appeals hearings, we would have a lot less murders.
