  1. As a past human services worker, abuse and neglect of all kinds do occur. Never permit a stranger to “watch” your Children!

  2. The child suffers the most, when can we stop with this. Get back to family core values, granted those do change and evolve with generations. However the basic fundamental values still are in play.

    1. I don’t believe in family values, never have. I believe in the freedom of choice to live however you want as long as you do not restrict the choices of others.

  3. So, this will certainly streamline the process of one paedo finding another. What could possibly go wrong?

  4. what do theses co parents do when it doesn’t work out , get rid of the child, the children lose every time when it comes to adults just wanting something

  5. Obviously if you’re co-parenting a child with another person, that individual wouldnt be a stranger to you.
    Considering how many children are raised by separated or embittered parents, this is not as bad as this pannel makes it out to be.

  6. The concept is simple, two strangers too immature for commitment want to play house… Children are not accessories.

  7. A contract that has extensive check-offs and codicils that pre-date the conception and is the basis for the contract. At impasses, take to council of others in the same contractual situation. Very wis approach rather than love that fades and the vitriolic hatred spewed on the children by the jilted parent. The contract being primacy.
