[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321499, member: 3699"] I saw something on TV about this. I have mixed feelings but lean toward the mother's view- even though it isn't conventional. If it turns out that the mother is one who carts her child off on anybody any chance she has or does drugs herself, I would change that view. I understand that pot is a "gateway drug" and that it really is not healthy for anyone, or might cause changes in one's brain. But, in my humble opinion- as a layman- I tend to think many of the typical medications we try on our kids aren't so healthy either but we agree to them because they seem to be helping our kids in an otherwise catastrophic situation. I am interested in hearing what other warrior moms feel about this. FWIW, my son isn't autistic so I can't speak with first hand experience in that area. I am a big advocate and sympathetic towards parental rights though, so maybe my defense of the mother in this situatiion is just based on the strong belief that usually, parents know best and have the right to decide what is best for their children and should have more say-so than any nit-wit legal person.
