Repeating something doesn't change that you are wrong. Children in the US would be given to child services if their parents were arrested for a misdemeanor, I even gave an example that you would know to be true. And if that same stupid person was convicted and sent to jail (not usual on first offenses, but sometimes and having the children in the car may be one of the circumstances that would drive that choice), the separation would be even longer.
The reality is, you just don't want to believe what you know to be true. I'm good with that, but your repeating the same nonsense again will not change reality.
Don't get me wrong, you shouldn't assume that I'm happy with this or don't want to see the law changed to allow them administrative prosecution and to stay with their kids. I'm just pointing out that arrests for misdemeanors can indeed find parents separated from their children in the US.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
