Reply #20: So, if we see a kid being physically or [View All]

emotionally abused and we don't like it, we should just stay out of it, right? WRONG! And smoking around kids is, quite simply, a form of child abuse.

My son's father and his fiance have chosen to smoke rather than to see him, that's how important their fucking cigarettes are to them. I had had enough last summer of my son getting sick whenever he'd visit them because of their endless, constant smoking. And what really infuriated me was that he wasn't permitted to say anything about it to them, either, even if it was really causing him problems, which it was. I finally put my foot down and said they weren't seeing him unless they didn't smoke around him. They didn't like that, but tough shit, this is my son's health I'm talking about. They haven't seen him since, but that's their own choice.
