I used an example of a time when masturbation could get you locked up for life in an asylum.  We've changed from that.

I don't want the state judging every choice I make, but I want them looking out for the fringe people who make bad decisions like not feeding their child, not getting medical help and trying to "pray away" the problem, or deciding they *might* not be straight and sending them for "therapy".

Would send your daughter to therapy because YOU had a problem with something you thought was "wrong"?

So: would you send your child to therapy for something YOU considered to be wrong?

Drugs/alcohol abuse?  Sure.

Self cutting?  You bet.

Sex before marriage? No.

Sexual preference?  Nope.

Butting in, but I guess I don't understand sending your kid to get help if it's not creating a problem for the kid. Where do you draw the line?
