Why in the world - in a "free" society would ANYONE have to notify socialist Services of the Names, dob's and ss# of their CHILDREN, before the DUE PROCESS RIGHT of obtaining a simple hearing?
This would mean an "auto-contract" with Social Services by ANY and EVERY PARENT - and WHY????
I don't EVER want to have anything to do with Social Services - why would I EVER be FORCED to do such a thing???$$$$???

Is this 2009, or 1941?
