Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public*Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. A public forum. Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:
23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.
If HSLDA is the Home School Legal Defense Association, then there was once a very great and legitimate need for them. My parents started back in the 80's and there was very real threat where we were at that time that if you were caught, your children would be taken from you and placed into foster care. If you joined them for a fairly nominal fee, they would come and defend you and get your kids back into your custody. They are also the ones that got many of the laws changed or overturned so that people are able to home school in peace.
They still do provide these services, as well as letting people know about pending legislation that they feel affects homeschool families or could infringe on parental and/or homeschooling rights.
