This really upset me http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,877155,00.html How does believing in the existance of a god make anyone a better parent??? They took this child from the only parents she has ever known just because they don't have an imaginary friend. Disgraceful.
Outrageous, I agree, and probably unconstitutional, as well. I'll bet if that couple had a good lawyer or contacted the ACLU, they could get the decision overturned and get some money for the kid's college fund.
This story is from 1970. In 1971 the court ruled that they did have the right to be parents. http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20F1FFD3A5B1A7493C0A9178CD85F458785F9
